HOWEDY
I'm new to this newsgroup. I thought I could update my knowledge but I guess
not. I keep seeing valid questions from folks looking for answers and then I see posts by this Jackass "HOWEDY". Whatever good he might have to offer is lost in his ravings like a lunatic. It's jerks like this that ruin a newsgroup because they dominate and overcome the sensible people who like me finally tune out! All of this posting, is of course IMHO. Old Timer |

I'm new to this newsgroup. I thought I could update my knowledge but I guess not. The choice is your's, but there are plenty of well-read, intelligent folks here. I figure you're more interesting in whining, than learning. Do you know how to unsubscribe from this group? I keep seeing valid questions from folks looking for answers and then I see posts by this Jackass "HOWEDY". That's a fair description of Howe. Because you are new here, it is fair to tell you that he is probably the most filtered--kill filed--person around. People who just have to talk to and/or about him are soon filtered out, too. Like you, they are warned and given a choice. Regardless of the news reader you're using, someone here can help you set up a filter for Howe. Whatever good he might have to offer is lost in his ravings like a lunatic. It's jerks like this that ruin a newsgroup because they dominate and overcome the sensible people who like me finally tune out! All of this posting, is of course IMHO. For you information, Howe does not "dominate and overcome" anyone here. Most of us forget he exist, until a new subscriber comes along. As Buglady wisely explained, "......we only see him when people like you refer to him! Filter him out. Complaining about it just drives the rest of us nuts." So, you can stay and learn, or unsubscribe; the choice is your's. Isn't that great! ________________________ Whatever it takes. |

Good luck with your group. No one "jumped on" Old Timer. He was treated kindly. Period. The fact that you find inadequate intelligence here only shows what you know. More accurately, it shows your ignorance. There are plenty of intelligent people in this group. Some of them are not always tactful, and there is some throat cutting. However, there are a lot of great ideas, sound opinions, and a good base of hard facts. News groups are not for the timid. Good luck in adjusting your attitude. _______________________________ Dirty deeds done dirt cheap; free, in some cases. |
