[Someone Somewhere]

First off let me start by saying I don't know either of you..and based on
past behavior of both of you I probably prefer to keep it that way. I've
lurked on this newsgroup for a couple of years now.

Would you BOTH please KILLFILE each other and STOP posting to each other
EVER AGAIN? I don't care if one of you declares himself the AntiChrist. LET
IT GO. Let someone ELSE call them on the carpet. This includes leaving
childish signatures that "so and so is killfiled so I can't see his
posts"...those of us interested in freeware DON'T CARE and all you do is
incite MORE flame posts.

Er... Remember the Vauxhall Tigra ad's a while back? Fun, if you like that
sort of thing.
But then again, the Tigra was an underpowered, overhyped buzzbox - so maybe
ONT.

I question the cleverness of your starting a whole new thread on a topic that
you don't want to read.

If you don't really have an account with somewhere.com, you're pilfering
an address that's not yours and all of the spam you're trying to avoid
is being sent to them. That's really bad form.

Ditto.

If only things were so easy........

[Glenn]

Not a problem for me. I highlight not only them but everything I have no
interest in, hit delete, agree to delete and they are gone for good. No
wasted storage space or anything. Life is too short for wasting it on
jerks.

Your loss.

I've lurked on this newsgroup for a couple of years now.

So you have no excuse for not knowing what's going on.

Would you BOTH please KILLFILE each other and STOP posting to each
other EVER AGAIN?

No. HTH.

I don't care if one of you declares himself the AntiChrist. LET IT GO.
Let someone ELSE call them on the carpet.
No.

This includes leaving childish signatures that "so and so is
killfiled so I can't see his posts"

You're addressing Corliss, not me.

...those of us interested in freeware DON'T CARE

You have no mandate to speak for all of *us*.

and all you do is incite MORE flame posts.

Nonsense.

BTW, who's Andy Mabett?

 

[Andy Mabbett]

If you don't really have an account with somewhere.com, you're
pilfering an address that's not yours and all of the spam you're trying
to avoid is being sent to them. That's really bad form.

How come you never made the same objection when Corliss was abusing
someone else's domain in that way?

 

[Roger Hunt]

delete and they are gone for good. (sn)..
Life is too short for wasting it on
jerks.

True but then again, (without any interest in who might be perceived as
jerk or otherwise), life is too short for wasting time deleting jerks.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Your childish responses make me think John Corliss might have been at
least PARTIALLY right about some of the things he's said about you.
Grow up.

 

[Rick_C]

BTW, who's Andy Mabett?<

I don't know, but he's got a great looking garden.

 

[Steve H]

I don't know, but he's got a great looking garden.

And now it's winter...the tools are in the shed, the dead-heading's
all done, the mower's in for servicing, next season's seeds are on
order....nothing left for him to do now but open the gin and fire up
the compy....

Regards,

First off let me start by saying

Here we ****ing go again.

 

[Mister Charlie]

Here we ****ing go again.

Much rather go ****ing again.

 

[zulu]

Much rather go ****ing again.

What if Mabbett/Corliss were actually the same person using different nyms?

I know, I know... but just the thought of it REALLY cracks me up...

 

[Roger Hunt]

I know, I know... but just the thought of it REALLY cracks me up...

That brings to mind a horror film I saw some time ago which involved a
group activity, human victims, and something called "Shunting" which was
far too disgusting to detail here.

Ring a bell with anybody?

The thought had occurred, either that or brother and sister .....

Corliss did go off in a sulk for quite a time and it was nice and quiet.
When he reappeared then so did Mabett.

Indeed.

Who?

Same here Glen. Their msgs are added to ware def arguments and
other threads that are non-freeware 'program' oriented. All such
headers get deleted in one fell swoop. No DL, no reading, no big
deal. It's easier than setting up kill filters. I frequently pick
one msg from new threads of 10-40 msgs to confirm my non-interest.
