Would you please take the time to post how to? I know I get in a hurry at times, wanting to get out world-saving information quickly, and sometimes crosspost, but I try not to. Your help would be appreciated. |

Your help would be appreciated. In OE I just created a message rule (MessageCreate Rule From Message) With the condition being: Where the message is on specifed group delete it set group = misc.survivialism Unfortunately it looks like you HAVE to subscribe to misc.survivavlism inorder to delete crossposts in other NGs. I dont yet know if this works at all - I'll wait & see. I cant be bothered swapping to another news reader. It sucks that others cant be more considerate with their crossposting. |

"Wild_Bill" wrote in message ... As I indicated, it's a fact. It was Gummer that showed up here with his political fanaticism about 10 years ago, cross posting to alt, survivalism and political groups that prompted most of the fringe freaks to add RCM to their own misguided posts. A few months ago, when Gummer wasn't posting for several weeks, the bull**** rants almost disappeared. I didn't have a stroke in my past to blame for any forgotten habits, but he'll use that excuse. This group was great before GWBs first run for the white house, when Gummer came around spouting his misguided views, and he hasn't stopped except for during the medical treatment, and the previously mentioned pause of a few weeks.. maybe because he couldn't steal free wireless access. ****in funny that he can include RCM for all his political fanaticism posts, but when he wants something, he only posts here and CNC or welding. Other than his lunatic political bull****/mental sewage, a large portion of his posts are please buy my junk, or that he needs something urgently, normally followed by he doesn't have any money. His presence in RCM has spawned more like himself, such a Rich Grise (more recently) who generally never post anything that's metalworking-related. Be aware that there are a few other posters here in RCM that idolize the fuctup moron, but they don't matter either. Another ****in funny instance last week, the same day that I commented that Gummer (and several others that aren't here for metalworking), never check to find out if their misguided fanatic forward/copy-n-paste postings are accurate, Gummer posts a "is this true?" post. This is the first time in over 10 years, that I'm aware of (although I don't read his distorted groveling/hateful bitching). Those few that idolize the pathetic ****up can do the research, I really couldn't give a big fat rat's ass. Gummer & fans' typical comeback is.. that I'm contributing to off-topic content by condemning their actions, because thay don't have anything else to bitch about. I've moved on to other interests, and really don't give a **** about the future of this group.. someone else can deal with it. I can guaran-****in-tee it'll only get worse. There is so little metalworking content here anymore, that it's barely worth the effort to even look for it. So, for those interested in metalworking, go find some web-based forums where the fanatic scum won't be tolerated. Chaski is an excellent one, and there are at least a few others. -- WB .........

Yep, Edward, I realize there are still some mature, rational participants
here who continue to contribute to the quality of RCM. It's clearly obvious why there aren't more contributing participants here with genuine interests in metalworking. It's easy enough for me to just hit the delete key for any subject line that doesn't include a metalworking topic. I don't read the senseless crap because it would be a huge waste of my time.. if I want garbage or fake drama, there's plenty available on TV. -- WB .......... "Edward Hennessey" wrote in message ...

I never thought that moderation would appeal to me but it seems to have made it easier to get maximum content out of the time I can devote to surfing the web. Hope you are well and the fishing is fine. My metalworking today consisted of installing wipers and covers on a cnc lathe that we had the saddle rebuilt by an outside firm.

I can't tell if it works, but it's worth a shot. That just annoys others. Wes True, but I imagine lengthy arguments going on in the other NGs, especially the ones that are just designed for outrageous arguments (most of the ones cross-posted to RCM). It may be a fantasy, but it gets me chuckling. d8-) I'm finding myself spending more and more time at webforums where freedom of speach only exists for on topic postings. I never thought that moderation would appeal to me but it seems to have made it easier to get maximum content out of the time I can devote to surfing the web. Absolutely. If it's real information you want, Usenet has become a Dumpster experience. There are a few gems in here, but you need a shovel to uncover them, and be sure to take a good shower afterwards. Hope you are well and the fishing is fine. Thanks, Wes. The fishing is good, but it keeps raining when I have a chance to go. They're telling me something, I guess. I've been really busy writing this summer. My metalworking today consisted of installing wipers and covers on a cnc lathe that we had the saddle rebuilt by an outside firm. I hope the newby button pushers we recently hired don't crash it during the night. Good luck! I'm trying to fix up my old tablesaw and bandsaw. I've really let them go. -- Ed Huntress Wes |
