Curious -- Why Do You Continue To Stay With ARBR
I'm curious why folks stay with this newsgroup given that any thread
is immediately subject to contamination. (I'm being kind) Yup, I'm a "usta be" and just stopped in to see if things had changed in a few months. Slow Joe Recumbo |

Because I vastly prefer Usenet to web forums, and putting Ed on auto-ignore makes ARBR bearable. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

He responds to my every post even though we have long stopped saying anything to one another. That is the charisma of Ed Dolan. -- Regards, Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota |

Slow Joe Recumbo MR ED has a very large part of this group under his complete control and most are unaware of that fact. I filtered him by my 3rd day here but others are obsessed by him so we have to get his crap 2nd hand. |

Any more like this and ARBR will have completely gone to the dogs. -- Regards, Ed Dolan - Minnesota |

I'm staying with this group as an experiment. I want to see how many people
I have to put in the kill file before it becomes a group about recumbent bikes again. Anyone who responds to Dolan is in my kill file. Now I can read this group in five minutes and most of what I read is about recumbent bikes. To all of you "on topic" people, thank you for all the good info. To all of you "off topic" people, see ya!

Just as some program their televisions to skip over the channels that do not contain programming, they will program their newsreaders to skip over those posters who offer little of interest to them. -- Larry Varney Cold Spring, KY http://home.fuse.net/larryvarney |

If someone puts a gun to my head and says "read this" I will read whatever it is, but until that happens I will continue to read only what I choose to read. I have difficulty whatsoever making my own reading choices. |
