Is MailWasher any good?

[Heather]

(Maybe that's the difference in the top/bottom argument? Slow readers

top-post?)

LOL.....Shaggy, you don't know me very well, obviously. I would hazard a
guess that I am one of the fastest readers on this n.g.......and many
others. I simply top post because I prefer it. But I will defer to you
once again. Why?? Because you are polite and don't use 4-letter words,
grin.

Ms. Gemini.....we are usually fast readers, grin.

Quoth the raven Heather:

LOL.....Shaggy, you don't know me very well, obviously.

...no more than your online persona, of course. <g> Just like you don't
know that I'm a 6'4" blond, blue-eyed, ex-college quarterback with a
Ph.D. in astrophysics from MIT....

I would hazard a guess that I am one of the fastest readers on this
n.g....

I just read six thousand posts in four minutes...

...and many others. I simply top post because I prefer it. But I
will defer to you once again.

Most appreciated, Heather.

Why?? Because you are polite and don't use 4-letter words, grin.

My momma raised me well. There is never any point in resorting to
cussin' and spoutin' and callin' people names.

I am still drooling......and can't begin to answer this one (VBG). I do
think you should submit your picture to the Rogues Gallery tho.

Oh please don't drool... Hmm, I don't think I want my picture in a
gallery of rogues.

PLEASE to all of this thread: stop this kind of communication in this NG
because really OT. This NG is NOT a chatroom. Better do PM for example. THX!

 

[Shane]

You sure do complain a lot! Jeez! Isn't there a complaints newsgroup you can
post to?

I apologize for contributing to your ire.

I've learned to ignore threads that have reached "drift" status. Most
newsreaders also have the capability mark a thread as "ignore".

 

[Sir_George]

Beauregard T. Shagnasty,

Ignoring the thread is not truly a viable solution. There may be a very
meaningful reply regarding the initial post that would be inadvertently
overlooked.

It truly would be better if people who want to chat do so via a chatroom or
email. Plus, I personally view the OT posts an inconvenience when going
through the thread.

 

[Buffalo]

Now if everyone top posted (and also snipped), you could get through
it quicker.

 

[Heather]

Sir George......as you are relatively new to this group, I will ignore your
comments about taking this to a *chat room*........which I personally view
as an insult (G).

We did *chat*.....but it does happen at times. Next time I will make sure I
put *OT* in the subject line so you don't have to read it......OK?
Obviously you were not around when Soooooooge was on one of his rambling
rants......that would have driven you nuts!!

If the usenet were dedicated to serving only "your" needs and wants, you
might have a valid complaint, but since it's here for all to use for the
occasional mutual benefit along with occasional irrelevancy, you might
just have to get used to it, as we all try to do with the awkward and
inconsiderate top posters, whose me first attitude is so rebarbative.

I guess if I wasn't relatively new to this newsgroup, you would have given
me quite a verbal bashing. I was unaware that you would be insulted by my
referencing a chat room as an alternate source for your personal
conversation(s). By the way, if my intent was to insult you, I would have
posted directly to you and been very clear about it.

We did *chat*.....but it does happen at times.

You're right, it's still wrong, but it happens.

Next time I will make sure I
put *OT* in the subject line so you don't have to read it......OK?

Actually, I think it would be better for you to use an appropriate source
for personal conversation, but you do what you want to do. I just made a
very "SIMPLE" note that it would be better if people didn't use newsgroups
for their personal banter.

Obviously you were not around when Soooooooge was on one of his rambling
rants......that would have driven you nuts!!

So, this reference means as long as you do it less it's OK? By the way, it
doesn't drive me nuts, I just find it to be inappropriate.

Nah.....I am actually a pussycat and took the high road. The *chat room
thing* is something personal and you did post to me directly, btw.

I just made a very "SIMPLE" note that it would be better if people >

didn't use newsgroups for their personal banter.

Why not? We are all human and have known each other for a long time. And
due to the nature of ng viruses (swen), none of us use their home email
address, so it is rather hard to banter personally.rants......that would have driven you nuts!!

So, this reference means as long as you do it less it's OK?

NO.....it simply was a comment about one who *really* abuses it. And
obviously you are too new to have seen his ramblings. And to nicely make a
point.....when one is new to a news group, it is not particularly wise to
try and set rules for the regulars. There now.....I didn't bash you too
hard, did I?? (G)

Heather,

My prior posts, in this thread, were to Stan, the OP, dated July 13 at 7:09
AM, and to Beauregard T. Shagnasty, dated July 16 at 10:51 AM; both messages
begin with the intended recipients name. Now unless you have a split
personality... ;-)

As for the rest of this, I won't belabor the subject any further, with one
exception; which is to say...no you didn't bash me too hard. Thanks

OOPS!! My apologies. It was Peter who is using the same ISP as yourself
who did the deed......and yes, I am a Gemini, ergo.....a split personality,
grin!!

Oh good.....
