Re: Duplicate Posts

Hi Leo, how's it going?

Leo, I guess that I'm one of the lazy types, and very definitely not an
application software guru.

While I appreciate the suggestions, Google for me works reasonably
well, but not great. The worst part of Google is that it sometimes
blows away a post that I have spent an hour or more composing, but
quite honestly I don't consider my posts to be that important except
when I have spent time on construction a long list of references. I can
alway rebuild the list and try again. Stiill, frustrating.

I'll check into the current news reader program from Mozilla, but from
my perspective the limitations of Usenet today is the very limited
number of news servers available and there latency. I like Comcast, but
its news server in my opinion really sucks. Just for laughs I love to
surf the alt. sites, but the selection of these via Comcast is very
limited. Then too, I generally on surf sites like rec.pyrotechnics,
sci.physics, etc...mostly members of the big eight.

Leo, I seriously believe that the quality of posts on rec.pyrotechnics
has gone up quite a bit over the past two years, including a great
increase in what we call the signal to noise ratio. Other than doing
school breaks, I doubt if we have seen more than a few posts from the
'Kewl Bombz Dudes' here in the past year or two.

Stay well, Curmudgeonly Harry C.

p.s., That little gun makes a pretty good pop! I haven't yet gotten up
the nerve to fire a flare!
