Ahem! Speak for yourself but I certainly ain't no middle aged old

My apologies, fair lady, I was speaking in demographic generalities.

That's middle-aged cootette, Owie.

COOTETTE!?!?! You're lucky you live way over on the other side!

And, who you callin' "middle aged"sonny boy(especially since my bday

You ought 'n be takin' a lesson from that gentleman, Owen!

The fact that they have
nothing better to do than get a few giggles and snickers from posting
their middle school based humor on a group of woodworkers - WOODWORKERS!
FOR GOD'S SAKE! - speaks volumes about their dismal existence.

You ever heard of "di-ver-si-ty?

Isn't that Ol' C-less's deally?

Ahem. That's DIVERSIFY, ya young fart. (Only 43, eh?)

I'm using Google, too, but I no longer pass by the trolls and other

early by far to see if that does any good, I think, but if it doesn't,
I can just avoid them, though the language and concepts get old in a
rush.

it can.

filter by subject. when you hit the filter button click the button
that says by subject or past subject and then yes. this gets the
entire subject gone. violla!!!
And in what way does filtering on the subject header satisfy the
desire to be able to filter on message text?

my god man!!! how much filtering do you expect from a machine? once
you filter the poster and the subject i would call it good. if you
start filtering text within a message you are gonna miss a lot of good
information. this is afterall usenet. if you see something offensive
simply delete it. works for me!!

skeez



but it dont stop the trolls who
bombard us with several hundred different subject lines and addresses.

Take a deep breath! g I agree. But the poster to whom you replied
was asking about filtering on message text, and you said that you
could, and proceeded to tell how to filter on the subject header. I
would find downloading the message text and then filtering to be
somewhat counter-productive, since one of the main purpose of
filtering for me is to decide which messages to download.

I've toyed with the idea of using a Bayesian filter on usenet, since
they are so wonderfully effective on mail, but I can't quite figure
out how I would see it working, for the same reason that I don't want
to download all of the message texts to run through the filter.

Given the popularity of products such as the Sander Sitter, Blade-Loc
