Actually, most of my posts (like the majority of all posts) don't get
any stars at all. (Though my log reports often receive 20 or 30 five-
star evaluations.) But in the same threads, your posts attract an
incredible number of single stars. Most people reserve those single
stars to highlight what they consider to be a bad post. I think that's
indicative that a lot of folks have a fairly low opinion of your
attempted insults.

I can understand why you ridicule public efforts to evaluate your
contributions to this newsgroup. Most of your posts are meaningless.

Your onetime claim to having a PhD was pretty meaningless as well, right, PhDufus?

And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute.
They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows, there may
be more.

Mike, bringing up a Google group star rating for Usenet posts is a
totally dumb thing to do.

You and others use google to post on Usenet but google is just a portal
to it. Google also has it own "Google groups", which belong to google as
do the "star ratings" of its users. The interface apparently does not
distinguish between Usenet and "Google groups" hence the confusion of
its users. Bad google.

Be aware that many people on Usenet block posts from google.

I'd spend the money for what some call a "real" newsgroup reader, but
I like it now, I don't know why some people don't like. It has all the
groups that I frequent. What do you use Telamon...and Steve
also...what newsreader do you use?

I'm using whatever is on Netscape, not sure if it has a name?
I can also use whatever is included in Internet Explorer, but don't care much
for that.

If you had a real usent reader you could turn on the "Headers" and see
all kinds of detail regarding a poster's computer, operating system,
newsreader software, i.p. address, etc.
