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.

Why should he ? If you want his posts together then sort by author.

Regards, John.

Aw. Don't be hard on Mel. He's very excitable and gets upset easily.

I'd just like to make it clear that this new Mel isn't me.


Mel.

 

[Semolina Pilchard]

I'd just like to make it clear that this new Mel isn't me.

Duly noted. I think that's a point well worth making.

 

[jimpgh2002]

I'm not the one whining about it. Now go away, or I shall taunt you a
second time.

Please quit acting like a child...unless you are one.

Killfile me. Please. Just don't be a wanker and announce it.

 

[jimpgh2002]

No, I want to see if you'll grow up over time.

 

[Mike Andrade]

No, I want to see if you'll grow up over time.

LOL. Whatever floats your boat, wanker.

 

[Space Madness]

Why do you write vitriol?

LOL. Whatever floats your boat, wanker.

Are you incapable Isis Love?

 

[Space Madness]

Well said.

Well staid is apropos.

 

[Bateau]

Which simply makes you another self-centered twit.

Because I disagree with you?

 

[Mike Andrade]

Because I disagree with you?

Don't make me laugh. The reasons are in your post. The fact that you
cannot see it is not my problem.

 

[Ziba]

Hear! Hear! Time for the silent majority to speakup...

I thought we were... in favour of ProteanThread!

 

[chris]

True. I guess they are counting on most people having forgotten the
earlier, angrier posts they made, which disclosed more about their
motivations than their more recent rationalizations.

I have been lurking for a few months and while I occasionally find PT's
posts tedious to work thru, he does come up with the odd gem... As I
don't have time to go searching myself I don't mind all the garbage (to
me) that I have to wade thru. I definitely wouldn't like everything
stuffed into one post. Carry on PT. Keynote makes your efforts worth it
to me.


Regards Chris

You dropped a load.

 

[Maxx Pollare]

The voice of "(ProteanThread)" drifted in on the cyber-winds,
from the sea of virtual chaos...

Second vote for "[FYI]"...

That way you're post can not only be collected together, but also
Ignored/DownScoered/Filtered by any Usenet client using the same
principle as "[OT]" threads.

or what about [FOUND] ?

It could be [FREE], [KNOB], or even [FISH] for all it matters, as long
as it can be agreed upon & and stuck too...

Fine by me. Thanks. It would definitely help.

or what about [FOUND] ?

Fine by me. Thanks. It would definitely help.

Since you are using Xnews, this may help until such time as they
start using a tag. Add a section to score.ini,

[^alt\.comp\.freeware]

% score down Tramp and Protean OPs (floods)
Score: =-200
From: Tramp|Protean
~References: @

That will downscore any post from them which is not a reply to
another post (at least until they morph again). Then use alt+K to
map a key to "Articles | Show >=0 Scores"; I use the 0 on the
numpad.

Then you can either read through their posts or hide them with a tap
of the key. Replies to them will still be visible, in case anyone
has anything to say in response, such as to point out they've posted
adware or shareware again.

 

[Bernd Schmitt]

No, I agree with them.

I agree, too.
name-listing is nonsense, if no checking/testing is done.
