Spend more time reading the good stuff. Can't you ignore threads? I don't filter threads. ALT.*.* groups are naturally anarchist. But you won't see this as you have departed. |

If I wanted to play spelling and grammar cop on usenet, I'd need more time. But I do like to poke at the occasional gaff that contains traces of irony. |

Actually it was a MINOR misspelling (since corrected). I did not put the irony in.

![]() Actually it was a MINOR misspelling (since corrected). I did not put the irony in. That must have come from someplace else. Must've come from my brain. Somehow I envision *intelligible* and *intelligent* as being of the same root. Since the common perception of Franklin is that he was a man of uncommon intelligence, that's where I see irony... ah, never mind... |

... one more unrelated post in this forum.
I enjoyed reading here, but there is just too much crap in here these days. Well... I'm back. Got a new newsreader and I can filter the GoogleGroups crap out. I just wish there was an automatic way to forward EVERY GoogleGroups posting to Google. -- Fight Usenet Spam!!! - http://improve-usenet.org:80/ Want a good newsgroup reader that will filter out GoogleGroups spam?
