In lieu of reponding to every individual contributor to this thread, and

comments, both positive and negative. It revealed a lot.

In every neighborhood, either where you live or in cyberspace, there are
usually some people we wish didn't live there. RFC is no exception. In
the neighborhoods we live in, we avoid those who are obnoxious,
spiteful, unbalanced, or those who we perceive dislike us for whatever
reason. Obviously, that should apply here, as well. Avoiding this in
our neighborhoods is often much easier than in a newsgroup. In both
cases, confrontation is seldom the solution.

Many have, at one time or another, said it takes a thick skin to survive
in a newsgroup. While there's no doubt about that, it also takes skill
in the use of filters and score files to make it a truly pleasant
experience.

I have posted here and enjoyed this newsgroup for years, and I intend to
continue doing so. I'm sure that I'm a permanent resident in some kill
files, and frankly, I'm glad. Frankly, I wish I were in more of them.
I also know that others have alternatively put me in and taken me out of
their kill files. I'm not sure I really understand that, but it's
unimportant to me. I know that when someone joins others in my kill
file, they become permanent residents.

I know who my friends are here, and I'm pretty sure I know those who are
not. That's really all I need to know.

For those who objected to my sig, you'll notice that it's been
permanently replaced with one that seems especially fitting to this
newgroup.

Thanks again, to all, and warm regards to my friends...

Good words, Wayne.


Lil' Wayne's words are as phony as they are long - winded...
