You are very organized, Howard!



My mail is organized---don't look at my office.

Mine is really a pit. Organization is not my strong suit.


Seriously, when I used newsgroups more for professional reasons, I had
extensive filters that would look at the body of messages, looking for
content that would rule them in or out. It's really hard to manage
mail
and news without help -- I have colleagues in vendor support and
research that will get 2000 mail messages per day.

I am curious here, Howard: can you give me an example of professional
uses for newsgroups?

The sci. hierarchy of newsgroups, as a start. Something like
sci.physics.computational.fluid-dynamics isn't a social ground for very
many people. The bionet. hierarchy for biological sciences.

Comp. for both academic and practical computer-related material. Most
Internet engineering work, however, is done on mailing lists.

Ahh, I see, thanks!

Please take rec.pets.cats.anecdotes out of your posting. There's a
really good reason I don't subscribe to RPCH+B.

Thank you kindly,

Guess what, sunshine? You can take it out yourself.

That is undoubtedly one of the most stupid comments I've
ever read on a newsgroup! How can she possibly prevent your
posting to a newsgroup, when it is YOUR post which contains
the cross-posted addresses?



Okay, let me try to make this a little easier for you to understand. All
"Tanada"
had to do was remove rpca from her reply, and no more crossposting.
Meanwhile, why are you still crossposting? Hmm?

Why should she do that when Tanada is a regular poster to
rpca of long standing (as am I)? It is you who seem to be
out of place, in a group who are generally pleasant to one
another. If you've decided to become a regular fixture
here, it appears to be kill-file time - something seldom
required on rpca. (P-L-O-N-K)

I find Mary to be quite funny most of the time.
