Never heard of him. I guess my ISP is killing his posts. Which is nice. If you are curious and would like to examine his handiwork, visit this forum via Google Groups. Your eyes will be opened. No, I'm not curious, I've seen enough loony behaviour on usenet to last a lifetime. Fortunately, my usenet provider blocks his posts too. And you've given me another reason why Google truly sucks as a usenet interface. Which is surprising, given that they do most things quite well. You are correct that Google's laissez-faire attitude makes it a frustrating personal news server. One line for both sewage and drinking water. On the other hand, Google's approach makes it a very good documentarian and archiver of Usenet. I guess there are inherent conflicts between those roles, and Google has chosen to occupy the role that no one else is occupying. Anyway, the season's here. Get thee out on the hill, spring will arrive before you know it. Our local resort opened briefly last weekend, then closed during the week because of massive rain (as featured on Monday Night Football). Now scheduled to re-open this weekend -- that's a five-yard penalty for a false start. Joe Ramirez |
