Unacceptable excuse. Most hospitals have wi-fi so you could have taken
a laptop with you.

Hope you are doing better. Not a place to spends 19 days. I have some
idea as my wife is home a couple of weeks after 42 days of hospital
and rehab.

I was thinking the same thing. All four of which I killfiled by
subject. I've never understood why some people think we all need to
read political and religious ****, on a home repair group. Particularly
when there are hundreds of political and religious newsgroups they could
go to.

Interesting that 1/3 of the articles are off topic including the top
four.


I was thinking the same thing. All four of which I killfiled by
subject. I've never understood why some people think we all need to
read political and religious ****, on a home repair group. Particularly
when there are hundreds of political and religious newsgroups they could
go to.


They are cross-posting/spamming into this group because it gets them
attention, the same as any other troll.

The real question is why so many people are so clueless as to continue
feeding them.

Actually danny d is, just look at the list.
He's listed twice at #2 at 432 posts and #21 at 64 posts for a total of

496

But all of Danny's post have been *extremely* informative, on-topic and
well-documented with many references to detailed information on the topic at
hand. KRW posts, on the other hand, are opinions mislabeled as facts,
dismissive, arrogant, mostly off-topic, poorly informed and bellicose. One
poster like Danny D is worth about 1,000 KRW in terms of useful information.
Maybe a million. (-: I'm pretty sure K's a false flag Democratic
operative, working hard to make Republicans look bad. A damn fine job he's
doing of it, too!

It's too bad Badgolferman can't tell us what percentage of each poster's
total represents off-topic posts. There really are just a handful of people
who use AHR as their own personal blog/toilet bowl.

Unacceptable excuse. Most hospitals have wi-fi so you could have

Hope you are doing better. Not a place to spends 19 days. I have
some idea as my wife is home a couple of weeks after 42 days of
hospital and rehab.


Heck I died May 10th, some fantastic paramedics saved my life and a
cardiologist shocked my heart back into the proper rhythm and I feel

That is a scary experience. If you had A-Fib you'd be tired out
rather easily. Sometimes all you need is a Cardioversion (likely what
you had) but there are more advanced non-invasive treatments like
ablation that did not exist 10 years ago.

Listen to the doctor and take your meds.

Get the exact names of the paramedics. Address them in a Letter of
Appreciation sent to the Chief.

Ask for the letter to be placed into their personnel file. Things like
this may give favor at promotion boards.

Some agencies have meritorious awards, some with a cash award.

The Chief does not have to take your suggestions, though.

You and I both deal with customers, retail and trade and so on. I'd guess that few people if ever say thank you. Certainly, few call to say things are working OK. I'm guessing that if you write a sincere and very brief thank you lettter, they will greatly appreciate it. Second, continue to be the very best person you can be, and treat everyone well. Paramedics appreciate saving good people.

I think you've got that *completely* backwards. g

The people here that need to "get out more" are the crybabies that seem to
have no other life outside AHR and who post hundreds of trivial OT posts to
their four or five BFF's here about their daily gripes with a world they
seem to hate. I find Danny to be a breath of fresh air compared to the same
old whiners, (bad) amateur comedians, the political bull$hitters, the
propagandists and the OT posters determined to make AHR a twisted version of
Facebook, posting threads about whatever "shiny thing" or off-topic drivel
that amuses them that day.

The "comedians" here wouldn't last a minute at a real comedy club. Don't
you think it's sad that there are 70 year old "class clowns" trying to
impress their "classmates" with their lame attempts at humor? The BS's here
would be eaten alive in a *real* political newsgroup because they confuse
opinions with facts. The would-be "News of The Day That Interests Me"
editors should join any one of the many still free newsites and comment the
hell out of what ever nonsensical, off-topic BS that intrigues them.

I've seen better newsgroups than this self-destruct and the path's almost
always the same. The Barbarian hordes of the "I wanna, so I am gonna"
posters drive off the on-topic posts until there's nothing left by a
perpetual flamer war. That why I think Danny's posts are generally *quite*
informative, on-topic and are helping to return the SNR here to more
reasonable levels. So I find it odd that a few of you are lacing into him
and posting downright insulting stuff with no personal provocation from him
that I can find. Maybe I missed it. Maybe you'll be kind enough to
reiterate.

In case you didn't see badgolferman's recent stats there's a hell of a lot
more noise than signal lately in AHR.

1 799 The IRS Scandal.
2 384 Boy Scouts Vote To Allow Gays
3 334 I LOVE making fools of evolutionists. :)
4 211 Sea shell fossils found on Everest

It would be great if those numbers truly represented the group's members but
it's really just a handful of people (and cross-posters who are even
members) using AHR as their personal blog and trolling pond. I understand
that there are quite a few elderly, lonely and unhappy men with apparently
no social life outside of AHR posting here. I feel sorry for them that this
is all they appear to have in the world in the way of a social network. The
sad thing is they seem to be confused by what they have a right to do and
what's right to do.

Since there's no moderator, they obviously can't be stopped from posting
whatever drivel or flame-bait they want to. I suppose that can be
considered a "right." But what's really *right* to do, on the other hand is
not to use AHR as a personal mailing list for their three or four BFF's or
generate endless nonsense threads in response to obvious flame-bait, spam
and trolls. *Those* are the people that need to get out more. And yes, I
know I can filter out most offenders, but then I might not know when they
give outrageously bad advice to a poster that needs immediate debunking.
Should readers of AHR have to slog through the posts in hip waders because a
certain few socially maladroit people don't know where the toilet is?

If Danny doesn't hit a home run with every post, that's OK. At least he's
trying to be a good citizen and not a flame-bait spewing troll trying to
stir up trouble with OT political rants in a home repair group. As far as I
can see, he's comported himself with dignity and self-control when
responding to obvious insults. He posts pictures of what he's talking
about, the URL's he's visited and comments of people he's talked to.

Compare that to some of the morons here who don't know where they are (a
home repair group) and who clearly don't know what they're talking about and
it's pretty easy to see why I welcome Danny and at least a few trolls
apparently don't. I see after reviewing your exchanges that you've got
issues with Danny that I don't quite get, but that's your right, too. It's
a free country.

It's hard to understand why, with the galaxy of OT posters to criticize,
you've zeroed in on Danny. Hopefully you'll be able to explain why. Or
not. Doesn't matter much other than I find it curious when someone laces
into a newcomer that's enthusiastic about the actual topic of the group and
manages to avoid taking some obvious flame-bait kicked his way.

The huge surge in OT posts from a relative small number of posters at least
proves one thing: Free markets are doomed to failure because there are
always some people that can't seem to regulate their own conduct and they
screw it up for the rest of us.

So what, exactly is the issue you've got with Danny that makes you feel free
to insult him?

Look in the mirror pal. I'd like to see the ratio of your home repair
related posts as opposed to ones on politics. For the last month,
how many posts of yours were on home repair, and how many were
long pontifications like this, ie much ado about nothing?

Why do you feel a need to defend Danny?

He does a great job on his own. Not that he needed help from you.

But all of Danny's post have been *extremely* informative,


Really?
You found his how to move brush and his grout vs crud informative?
You need to get out moreg


I think you've got that *completely* backwards. g

The people here that need to "get out more" are the crybabies that seem to
have no other life outside AHR and who post hundreds of trivial OT posts to
their four or five BFF's here about their daily gripes with a world they
seem to hate. I find Danny to be a breath of fresh air compared to the same
old whiners, (bad) amateur comedians, the political bull$hitters, the
propagandists and the OT posters determined to make AHR a twisted version of
Facebook, posting threads about whatever "shiny thing" or off-topic drivel
that amuses them that day.


Look in the mirror pal. I'd like to see the ratio of your home repair
related posts as opposed to ones on politics. For the last month,
how many posts of yours were on home repair, and how many were
long pontifications like this, ie much ado about nothing?





The "comedians" here wouldn't last a minute at a real comedy club. Don't
you think it's sad that there are 70 year old "class clowns" trying to
impress their "classmates" with their lame attempts at humor? The BS's here
would be eaten alive in a *real* political newsgroup because they confuse
opinions with facts.


You wouldn't know a fact if it hit you in the face.


The would-be "News of The Day That Interests Me"
editors should join any one of the many still free newsites and comment the
hell out of what ever nonsensical, off-topic BS that intrigues them.

I've seen better newsgroups than this self-destruct and the path's almost
always the same. The Barbarian hordes of the "I wanna, so I am gonna"
posters drive off the on-topic posts until there's nothing left by a
perpetual flamer war. That why I think Danny's posts are generally *quite*
informative, on-topic and are helping to return the SNR here to more
reasonable levels. So I find it odd that a few of you are lacing into him
and posting downright insulting stuff with no personal provocation from him
that I can find. Maybe I missed it. Maybe you'll be kind enough to
reiterate.

In case you didn't see badgolferman's recent stats there's a hell of a lot
more noise than signal lately in AHR.

1 799 The IRS Scandal.
2 384 Boy Scouts Vote To Allow Gays
3 334 I LOVE making fools of evolutionists. :)
4 211 Sea shell fossils found on Everest


One can easily avoid those, if one chooses. Or are you so dumb that
you can't figure out that none of those have anything to do with
AHR?





It would be great if those numbers truly represented the group's members but
it's really just a handful of people (and cross-posters who are even
members) using AHR as their personal blog and trolling pond. I understand
that there are quite a few elderly, lonely and unhappy men with apparently
no social life outside of AHR posting here. I feel sorry for them that this
is all they appear to have in the world in the way of a social network. The
sad thing is they seem to be confused by what they have a right to do and
what's right to do.


Look again into that mirror as you drone on and on with
drivel





Since there's no moderator, they obviously can't be stopped from posting
whatever drivel or flame-bait they want to. I suppose that can be
considered a "right." But what's really *right* to do, on the other hand is
not to use AHR as a personal mailing list for their three or four BFF's or
generate endless nonsense threads in response to obvious flame-bait, spam
and trolls. *Those* are the people that need to get out more. And yes, I
know I can filter out most offenders, but then I might not know when they
give outrageously bad advice to a poster that needs immediate debunking.
Should readers of AHR have to slog through the posts in hip waders because a
certain few socially maladroit people don't know where the toilet is?


Look again into that mirror as you drone on and on with
drivel



If Danny doesn't hit a home run with every post, that's OK. At least he's
trying to be a good citizen and not a flame-bait spewing troll trying to
stir up trouble with OT political rants in a home repair group. As far as I
can see, he's comported himself with dignity and self-control when
responding to obvious insults. He posts pictures of what he's talking
about, the URL's he's visited and comments of people he's talked to.

Compare that to some of the morons here who don't know where they are (a
home repair group) and who clearly don't know what they're talking about and
it's pretty easy to see why I welcome Danny and at least a few trolls
apparently don't. I see after reviewing your exchanges that you've got
issues with Danny that I don't quite get, but that's your right, too. It's
a free country.

It's hard to understand why, with the galaxy of OT posters to criticize,
you've zeroed in on Danny. Hopefully you'll be able to explain why. Or
not. Doesn't matter much other than I find it curious when someone laces
into a newcomer that's enthusiastic about the actual topic of the group and
manages to avoid taking some obvious flame-bait kicked his way.

The huge surge in OT posts from a relative small number of posters at least
proves one thing: Free markets are doomed to failure because there are
always some people that can't seem to regulate their own conduct and they
screw it up for the rest of us.

So what, exactly is the issue you've got with Danny that makes you feel free
to insult him?

Geez, I didn't see a viscious attack on Danny. More like a couple of
people poking some fun at him. Are you the monitor of what is
politically
correct speech here now? Oh, and BTW, when Danny was asking all
his questions, I answered a whole lot of them. So did Oren. Where
were
you, Mr. Champion of AHR? Did you even answer one?


Booby G. seems to lack the ability to filter out "OT" Off Topic posts.
Gee, I've always seen stuff in alt.home.repair that resembles the
conversations "men" have around the hardware store or any supply house.
Usenet isn't like the old Soviet Union where people were shot when they
tried to leave, heck, Booby G. can always start his/her/its own Usenet
group and be the moderator who removes any material he/she/it objects
to. It's all about the freedom to choose. Don't let the keyboard hit you
in the ass when you press the escape key Booby G. ^_^

Cuba has just recently, in recent weeks to allow "Internet" access at
cyber cafes (limited numbers) . Prior Cubans were limited to state
Intranet.

To the point: One hour on the Internet in Cuba is equal to 25% of
some peoples pay - for a month?

I hope they post pictures a Cuban home repair.
