Yeah. Well, I can pretend it doesn't bother me and just ignore the
jerks, but I'm lying to myself.

<grin> But I *can* ignore 'em - well, most of the time. Sometimes I
see their posts quoted... Killfile, that's the trick.

I used to enjoy coming here and
chatting, but now it just makes me tired. I don't need this - it's not
helping and I don't want to do it anymore.

Killfiles are the answer.

If the trolls are trying to
drive people away, they are succeeding.

Not quite everyone - they need just enough people left for them to play
`prod the loony and watch him howl'.

On the other hand, if there were a decent number of decent posters here
who didn't encourage the trolls to stay (you hear me, Chrissy and Loz
and humble life?) but told 'em to sod off and/or ignored them, then the
trolls would go away.

The trolls here have followed me to some of the other newsgroups I
infest. They were seen off instantly in both cases, because those
newsgroups are full of Usenet-savvy people who know how to spot a troll
and what to do with one.

For some reason, rather a lot of posters here like encouraging the
trolls by engaging them in conversation.

And *one* of that lot - Loz - has the gall to suggest that I'm
encouraging the scum to stay! Loz, no, it's *YOU* who is doing that,
you silly sod.

I think I've about had enough.

If you got yourself a newsreader with a kill file/block list/something
of that nature, then you'd be able to avoid their posts entirely.

I can recommend MacSoup or Nemo. Both need a, erm, Mac (on the other
hand, MacSoup will run on almost any Mac you're likely to find in the
wild these days, no matter how old or clunky).

You can sometimes be a right prat Rowland, you haven't got anyone
killfiled, you dare not risk missing a single word posted, you find me
compulsive reading - you're hooked.

I know I don't miss a single poast of yours. They're just that good!

And CJD uses Windows Mail which is without doubt the best client
currently available, unfortunately it is exclusive to the awful Vista.
But if he wants to filter any poaster he has the best client for the
task, but he won't, he too is addicted.

I don't know, I think CJ and Rowland should just get a room. Throw off the
inhibitions for a change.

Have you put in your complaint about the dentist yet, you know the
dental treatment that was painful, now that is a surprise.

The dentist hurting... what's the world coming to?


Do you have freckles?

Only CJ knows for sure!
