There are occasional cross postings to both groups worth reading, but only if they do not include Gareth as the originator. That worked until Gareth chose to post only to rec.radio.amateur.antenna. So, now I have a separate rule for each group, which takes care of the problem. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

How strange because Liebermann has long been in my KF because of
his habit of resorting to abusive remarks. One would have thought that someone such as he claims that he is would be interested in scientific discussion, but there we go. "legg" wrote in message ...

Humour often goes astray, in print. Unfortunately, my miserable attempt at humor had a physiological reason. I'm currently having problems with some new heart medicines. The end result is a rather drastic drop in blood pressure. When this happens, I tend to be sleepy, slow, and not very clear thinking. I try delay my postings, and check them about 30 minutes after writing, when the problems usually become obvious. I missed this time and just clicked "send". All the more reason to use a 30day filter, when annoyed. Also an Agent feature. Often outlasts the source author's attention span, or the life of a 'popnews' topic. Hmmm... I just noticed that I have everything in rec.radio.amateur.antenna back to July 2012 (7442 articles). Maybe I should do some housekeeping. I think that was when I wiped out my entire Usenet news store because the database was fatally corrupted by a failing disk drive. I dunno about the 30 day filter. There are articles that I mark as "Keep Message" that I save and later archive. Some respondents, acting in good faith, may post useful stuff, so I stick to source-only. I've noticed that specific individuals tend to post useful and interesting stuff mostly within their areas of expertise. Over the years, I've identified many of these people. Even if the original posting was something of little interest, I tend to read the followups authored by people that tend to have something worth reading. I sometimes soft the messages by author, to make that easier. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

We all have to watch it, there's some pretty provoking stuff out there. Old xkcd.com had our hero 'fixing' the internet........ All the more reason to use a 30day filter, when annoyed.
