-►Welfare babies, greasy diners and other tidbits
Yes it's Emerson and yes I'm back to express my opinions on several
hot topics germane to the here and now. First, nigs on welfare.
Because these women can't seem to understand the concept of using
birth control and because they appear all to eager to spread their
legs to any Tom, Dick or Tyrone, our government is left footing the
bill for the resulting future car thieves. A solution? Cut off all
benefits after 1 year. Educate the ones who want it so they can find a
real job and above all, keep up with current affairs in our nation's
welfare program. There is no shortage of liberal ass polyps in suits
out there lobbying for even more rights for these lazy sloths.
Next up, greasy diners. I've eaten at my fair share of them while out
on the road and for the most part, they offer a pretty good selection
of Americana food however it was my recent misfortune to run across a
diner named "Juanito's", a former 1950's shotgun style home converted
into a Mexican diner. "I'll take the enchilada special" sez I to my
clearly brain dead waiter. What the heck. I'll try it and see how they
are. Bad move. Within 30 minutes of ingestion, I found myself cutting
high- pitched farts with a serious side affect. They were wet ones. I
was given a most unwelcome squishy reminder of my meal when I rose
from my
booth to pay the little mongrel behind the counter and walk out to my
car. I nigger rigged a man kotex out of kleenex and pushed it between
my ass cheeks to sop up the remnants of those brown blasts. The moral
of the story? Be ready for gastric distress when trying out someplace
new, especially if the owners don't have a
greencard.
I said it, you read it and I remain....

I hadn't seen anything for a few days, so I wasn't sure how
many of us were still hainging around.
It's unfortunate the efforts of one (or a small group of)
spammer(s) have damaged this group so badly.
It looks like a few of them are still following up. My killfile stuff shows
me there's a follow-up to my post.
I keep checking, but there isn't much. If the intruders are gone, I'd be
happy to see this newsgroup revive.
Joy
Yes, it is. A killfile helps, but apparently not all isps have one.
Joy
Someone opened a Google group to get away from the pests. I'd gladly come
back here, because I prefer this format. However, for some, at least, it is
easier to read the Google group than to plow through the garbage. I get the
impression not everybody has a killfile.

It's not an ISP thing, it's a user's software thing.
Everybody has a killfile. It may be known as a filter to other wannabe
newsreader programs ;)

While not kill files, some ISPs have filtering that cleans
up some (or even most) of the spam. Mine happens to be one
that filters out most.

John Fleming, DTM
Edmonton, Canada
We have 56 members in TMPrime, and active and lively discussion as we
used to have here. The average user doesn't know how to or want to
bother with killfiles and software - they just observe through a
browser or maybe an email program.
If I thought we could all return here and not deal with more spamming,
I'd close up shop at TMPrime - but just this thread alone proves
otherwise.
Just as there is no TM meeting format that is perfect for all, there
seems to be no group format for all. Hopefully we can all visit each
other once in a while though.
Rich.

Ah yes, "and when I meet the six finger man, I will say,
'Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You kill my father.
Prepare to die.'"
I love that movie.
