Personally, I'm sitting here QRV until a better antenna discussion

along

Not much. I've always wanted to play with small loops, but never got
into it.

At one time, my HF antenna was an attic horizontal 4 sided loop, about
14 foot on a side. Not too bad for the constraints applied.

I'm curious. Why do you append the material you are replying to with
the # character? That doesn't seem to work with most newsreaders and
the attribution gets confused.

I am using Windows Live Mail to read eternal-september.
When I reply, the post I am replying to doesn't have any "" added.
If I add "" manually, I have to add it to every line, not just the ones
I'm replying to.

Yep, it sucks and I'm not the only one having the Live Mail problem, or
using #.

Not trying to give you a hard time or anything... that can come later, lol.

I've just never seen this in any other group. I didn't track who was
doing it here, I just assumed it was all from the same person.

I use Thunderird to read newsgroups. If you are already using
eternal-september it is easy to set up and work pretty well. I wish I
could figure out how to filter people so their posts are moved to an
"ignore" folder. I can delete their posts, but sometimes it is useful
to read them if an interesting thread comes up. I'm not to the point
where I refuse to read people's threads, I'd just like to have the
option to change my mind on a per-message basis.

Otherwise I am pretty happy with T-bird.


rickman,

I use Thunderbird also, and just mark the filtered posts as "read".
That way when I go through unread messages it skips over them, yet I can
go back to them if I want.
