because its just me, OK ? so deal with it

If you're not doing it already, it'd be nice if you started the subject line
of each post identically so they'll all be sorted together. Thanks much.

 

[Mike Andrade]

Then why are you replying?

Because egomaniacs like to think other people give a rat's ass if they
plonk someone - which is why they /post/ replies with "plonk" in them.
It's moronic and typical of unthinking losers.

A flooder with a bad attitude that talks like a TROLL...

I thought there was a consensus in the group to use WTD for this.

Yeah, a consensus of one...

No, IMHO.

Then why are you replying?

Iain replied in order to help others deal with your inane posts,
Woodzy, just as you suggested. With the touch of a key, an Xnews user
can make your posts disappear when your are in "rip a site and turn it
into multiple posts" mode, but still see the posts when you are in
normal posting mode.

thx. It seems that at least one person finds something usefull in each
flood. i know i do.

I thought flooding was posting the same post over and over again. Separate
and relevant posts - even dozens at a time - is not flooding It's what the
group's about. Right?

Keep it up.

7. Because it makes my penis *snicker* look bigger.

8. Fire, fire, fire! Huh, huh, huh...

9. My Mom nursed me until I was old enough to buy cigarettes for her.

10. Ohno, my "copy and paste" minutes are running low! Better use 'em while
I gottem!

Nope. Repeating the same post over and over again is spamming.

Separate and relevant posts - even dozens at a time - is not
flooding

What the threshold is for calling it a flood is subjective, but
relevance doesn't come into it. BTW, some of the stuff in the floods
is on topic, some not.

Replying to a post from PT, can't reply direct because PT's posts are
blocked here and I only see the replies.

I suggest you stick with programs you have tried and can recommend !

So you are saying when someone recommends a site, that the poster try all
the programs? You've always been a plonk candidate.

Was this comment aimed at me or at 'Doc'? I became confused...

Always to the first listed. (Hopefully)
In this follow-up, to you.
Below is the answer to your question.

Yes, IMHO.
Because I usually download headers only, not bodies.

If you make a "one post for multiple programs" could you (PT, any)
please indicate this in the subject line?

best regards

Olaf

 

[jmatt]

easier to glance the subject line than to

read a whole post, don't you think?

I agree , I'm quite with your work (ProteanThread)
