Sorry. That was the best I could do for humor at the time. The

S'allright. 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".

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. 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.

Must end up being an 'interesting' filtering script. Way outside my
pay grade.
