73, jim.


Do I count as "older"?

I have been busy lately, but I am still here.
I had noticed that this group has gone crazy, the number of troll posts has gone through the
roof. Over 90% of the messages here are never even downloaded at this end... the "xposting
****s" are not worth the bandwidth.

Hey Peter, for some reason I cant access the uk.cb.radio ng from this
isp though years ago using another account I was one of the original
posters who petitioned for its formation. How goes it in that ng?
Hopefully a lot better than this once readable ng. Regards, Jim.

It is quiet, but at least the posts are usually CB related.
The topic of post figures was only just mentioned and, as I said on that
group, I would rather have the quiet group with on-topic posts than a busy
one where 90% of posts are just troll and spammer crap.

With so many of the posts to this group being angry troll posts, I only get
a list of messages and then download those of interest. I refuse to waste
bandwidth on those dumb enough to display their stupidity to the World.

I also have a filter, so many troll and spam posts don't even get listed.


Regards,

Peter.

Stainless rules for longevity. How much per foot for the cable?

Go under ground, but use plastic conduit so if anything happens you can
easily pull a new coax without redigging.

Agreed, way more civilized, even when they are fighting. My kill file racks
up at least 70 percent of the posts as garbage here.
