I take the time to post dx logs, and they're ignored, except by Tebo who
corrects one of my assumptions. But people who post off topic get
zillions of responses, most of them childish insults from the likes of
Ace. David never lacks for attention. But my logs? ZZZZZZZZ (apparently)
Is this REALLY a shortwave radio group? Or just another place for people
to insult each other and act passive aggressive?


I=3Fve been away for a while, but I have seen that log postings don=3Ft
generally cause a lot of discussion. Stewart MacKenzie has been posting
his loggings on here for years, for example, and doesn=3Ft get much in the
way of direct replies. What=3Fs to say, after all? You heard =3Fem, good
for you, and thanks for the info which will help me pick =3Fem up.

The problem with some of the other so-called discussions are that
someone comes in with a hot-button post, and a lot of folks feel it
their sworn duty to either tell him to get lost, or drop down to his
level and get embroiled in a nasty posting war.

Personally, I suggest you treat =3Fem like jammers: ignore them. Most
newsreaders have a =3Ftwit filter=3F or =3Fbozo bin=3F where you can add
individual twits/bozos to a list, and postings from those people will
subsequently be ignored. Works pretty well for me.

It is the way some webmasters have the fonts in their servers (or
something like that) or browsers set up.I once read about that,but it
didn't interest me all that much so I forgot about it. =F &mdash

Not using the web, though -- using Gravity and composing offline.
Nothing has changed at this end, so I wonder if perhaps my ISP has
farbled around with things. Prior to this I was using Individual.net as
my non-binaries news feed, but they went to fee-based instead of free so
I need to find another one. (I have RoadRunner as my ISP and I can only
access it from a RoadRunner Internet connection, which sucks when I
travel, which is why I used Individual.net instead.)

What's with the =3Fv instead of ' in your messages? Is it an
artifact of MicroPlanet-Gravity/2.60.2060 or are you copying and pasting
from some other software?


Thanks for mentioning it. I just noticed that today, not sure why it
happened all of a sudden. Never happened before. I?ll look into it.

The only reason I asked was that I have to slow down when I read
messages that contain odd formating or errors and I'd never seen this
one before.

Easy as pie to travel with webtv.My Philips model MAT 976 webtv set top
box is about the same size as a VCR player/recorder is.If I travel
somewhere with it,all I would need to do is hook it up to a tv set and
turn it on.There will be two pop ups.One will say Same Place,the other
will say Moved.I would click on Moved and watch it dial up to the
internet in one minute or less,that's all there is to it.Everything
would be just the same as though I had never unhooked it in the first
place.In many ways,believe it or not,webtv is much better than useing a
computer.

I=3Fve instead of I've, or =3F instead of ' in his posts. I'm a
speed reader so things like this trip me up.
