I refuse to recognize that there are impossibilities

[Susan Bugher]

Susan: Would you mind if we used your post in a tutorial about boring,
off-topic, stupid posts on Usenet?

But of course. How sweet of you to think of my post when you needed an
example that shows people how NOT to make such posts.

Thanks in advance,

You're ever so welcome.

Susan

Did I hit those pesky N, O and T keys again?

Damn.

I am truly thinking of not coming to this newsgroup again....

Thank you Susan

please make it true leaving this ng. This ng perhaps will become even a
little more OnTopic, informative and readable again. THX.

The truth is one, it is not revealed completely yet to humans. It has
nothing to do with opinions.

Opinions are eclipsed views of reality. They are not different realities.
Some views are closer to the truth some are farther from the truth, but none
until now
have seen the whole picture, or as Hawkings says "read Gods mind"

I have written a whole theory on this subject and it clearly states that
anything is possible in an infinite multiuniverse. Its based on the latest
discoveries of
how our universe works...

Firstly, Henry Ford may have improved on the production line process,
but mechanisation and mass production was something developed
elsewhere:

As far as your views on metaphisics, quantum physics and quantum
mechanics go ... can't you start or find yourself a quantum physics
newsgroup to post to? Because none of this (including Henry Ford -
however wise his words) have anything to do with freeware, open source,
or software generally.

I think that one has been done. Once, as I recall, by a fighter
pilot. The second time, and I may be off on the altitude, was around
12/23/1960, when 2 airliners collided over Brooklyn, NY, and a young
boy survived.

Then I'll revise that one to 150 thousand feet. At any rate, I'd still
like to see links to info about those survivals.

On the other hand, Joe Kittinger was the first man in outer space and
the first to exceed the speed of sound without being in an aircraft
(unless you consider his space suit an aircraft):

He used a chute though.

Just found this link:

Some very lucky people. However, this has nothing to do with freeware so
I'm bailing out of this thread.

Hi, I'm known as Sheepdog;
Having recently joined this group in an unending
quest for information and
reviews on quality freeware, I was rather curious about recent
messaging having apparently nothing to do with the group name. Could
someone please tell me if I have joined this group in error? I would
appreciate any help that may be available.
By the way, Henry Ford Sr. was indeed a vicious
anti-Semite, therefore his proclaimed
"short list" of impossibilities must have surely included Jews as
acceptable human beings. Just thought I'd pass that along in an effort
to contribute something.

Well, Sheepdog, off-topic posts happen just as in the second half of
your post above.

Clear now?

Mr Bill
who is highly amused

Hi Sheepdog,

Welcome aboard. ACF's Posting Tips web page has some information you may
find useful.
http://www.pricelesswarehome.org/acf/Posting.php

Most of us discuss Freeware most of the time. but. . . this is an
unmoderated newsgroup => anyone CAN post anything they like => people
CAN start off-topic threads - and a couple of people have done that
quite often lately.

Sheepdog again;
Thanks for the info. Now that I understand what's going on,
perhaps I can communicate more effectively. I am especally interested
in graphics/image processing
freeware and have sampled close to fifty different applications. As
far as off-topic goes, hey, I'm game-I'll be checking in-you guys sound
interestng-BFN.

Then I'll revise that one to 150 thousand feet.

There are easier ways to refute Kenny's assertion, though. Suffice to
say that there's a difference between having an open mind and being
completely gullible. Sometimes, as someone wrote recently, nonsense
just has to be called nonsense.

At any rate, I'd still like to see links to info about those survivals.

I think I read the first in Popular Mechanics or Popular Science -
many years ago.

I can't give you a link to the second but I had a ticket for one of
the two planes, which is why I'll never forget it. (I decided to take
a nice leisurely train ride - my laziness saved my life.)

Sheepdog, if you want communicate more effectively, have a look at the
behavior of some regulars here like Susan etc.. So please try to shorten
your quotings as far as possible. Avoid fullquoting. Have a look at your
outbox to avoid double sending your postings as happened. If you prefer top
posting, it's up to you. But some experienced regulars like Susan etc. often
prefer bottom posting.

Have fun.
