Before you kept telling cc it was all about science. Good to see you can
admit you were wrong.

How much is a lot? If you really know what you are talking about Mr. IT
Teacher you should be able to give a percentage. Snit runs in 3... 2...

100% predictable.

Speaking of Snit, do you see all of his forgeries of me? He forges my name
*a lot*. He is the one who is obsessed with me and is keeping the flame war
going, that is why it is called the Snit Circus.

After reading what I have shown you how can you say Snit is no worse? Snit
has been pulling this shit for years and nobody has stopped him. Yet.
If we all call him on his shit and let the college he claims to work at know
and contact his wife maybe he will finally stop lying about me and making
claims about me having an ex. Nothing else short of that will get him to
stop.

More than 2-3. More like 2-3 dozen.

Snit said just once. So now you know he is lying.

Snit is the one who says it is bad to take things out of Usenet. He is a
hypocrite.

I did not claim this. I did not do so. Snit lied.

I respond to his lies and I will keep doing so as long as I want.

I never threatended to have him fired. Snit lied about that too.

He claims to be Michael Glasser and to work for Yavapai College in Prescott
AZ. I found /a/ Michael Glasser works there but it looks like Snit is
impersonating that person.

Are you accusing me of being a sex harrasser? Snit is the one who claims he
sees no logical reason to disallow incest. Snit also claims to have kids.
How sick is that?

COLA is not like CSMA. Snit got here without you to correct people so now
he has not just an army of socks but an army of shills. DFS, Hadron and DFS
are his biggest shills in COLA. That is why they are all hated here.

Snit did sexually harrass Steve and Elizabot when he emailed Steve's wife

Snit is the one who insists it is not right to take things out of Usenet,
but he is the one who posted the web pages and called the police.

Of course. You can not defend Snit now that even you have noted how much of

What the hell is wrong with you to keep posting links to the email you
shared over and over for "over half a decade"? Why would you bring it up
again and post a link to it? Steve did not out of respect for ed.

Do you have any proof he did not? If he did not then why would so many
people accuse him of it? A mass conspiracy or Snit it guilty. Which is
more likely?

Only a Snit shill would think there was a cabal against him. There are
people who speak the truth and then there are people like you and Snit.
Does he pay you to be his shill? If not he should.

Translation: no.

I have seen these emails and completely understand why Steve would not make

He loves to brag about where he works now and has in the past. Or claims to
assuming he is not impersating the real Michael Glasser as is becoming

You defend Snit's sexual harrasment as you villify Elizabot for defending
herself. You do not even try to hide the fact you are a paid Snit shill.

Snit admits to being mentally ill and for a long time I gave him a pass
because of that but it has gone too far and his mental illness is no longer
an excuse. He reaps what he sows.

Who said they did? Snit? And you beleive him? Elizabot stopped posting
because of the harrasment, not because of the police. Snit chased her off
like he chases off other women and blacks. Snit even calls blacks monkeys.

Snit talks about how there is no logical reason to disallow incest and then
shows off almost pornographic images like that and you have no problem with
it.

You already admitted he lied. You are right though that Snit is no match

Interesting. What exactly is a Usenet rapist? Snit certainly has raped
my eyes with long, tedious, pointless posts full of misunderstood
quotes and an uncanny ability to completely dodge questions, but that
doesn't really seem worthy of a "Usenet rapist" title. Is he raping
Usenet itself, or individual posters? Should I carry a rape whistle to
avoid being Usenet raped by Snit?

Also, like DFS (allegedly), I fully support Snit's incest.

I always defend Snit, even if he's clearly wrong. I won't bother to
take the time to go back and fully read the sources he is quoting from
because he has never taken anything out of context and fully
understands everything he reads. I don't need to check and see if what
he says about other posters is true. If he says a poster thinks UI
design is unimportant, then that poster must really think UI design is
unimportant, so I'll call them an idiot. I take everything Snit says
at face value because he is the most trustworthy poster of all time,
plus it would take a minor effort on my part to verify things. I am a
Snit shill.

Heck, he should just stop bringing it up and trolling me on his obvious

<http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~saul/481/process_diagram.html> and

I don't even know what his "denial" consists of. I do know that you
unequivocally told him you took "Classes" in direct response to him
querying you about "classes"... only to later claim that you didn't
know what classes he was talking about (in a thread where he
specifically quoted you saying you took them).

If you can point to this "denial" you claim he engaged in I'll look at
it. Or is this just another of your many unsupported claims?

Where did I ever say that? Where did I ever hint at something like
that? Is it because I said HCI is not a science? I stated multiple
times that HCI is art and science which in my opinion does not make it
science. So where exactly are you getting this claim?

I'm not sure where you're going with this. You do know NASA has done
some actual HCI work that is not limited to quoting "consistency" out
of context from papers and pointing to the GNOME guidelines, don't
you. You know, some of that actually science like critical parameters.

No shit! Where did I ever say otherwise? Please fucking quote me on
that one.

Totally wrong about what, exactly? What is it do you think I've said?
Because so far, I've never even claimed anything close to what you've
said. If you think I have, please quote me on that. You're just
repeating bullshit that Snit says I have said.

Since you're soooo far gone down a path of retardation, here is what I
said initially:

The GNOME guidelines are not the end all be all of HCI. They don't
even reference or use modern day HCI techniques. There are actual
scientific methods with provable results that you can use to verify
that your UI works as intended. There are actual techniques and
methods that you can use to help speed up development of your UI. None
of these methods involves quoting "consistency" from a paper. None of
these methods involve saying "consistency is always good," or even
"consistency is sometimes good." None of these methods apply a blanket
UI design. Each UI must be designed from the ground up. You cannot
compare by sight two UIs next to each other and say unequivocally
which one is better. You cannot say a UI design is bad because it is
not consistent just based on sight. There are actual scientific
methods for doing this. This is not even debatable and yet Snit and
seemingly yourself are trying. You can call/email/attend the classes
of any HCI professor anywhere, and they will tell you what I have just
told you, but in much better detail.

So how about you educate your fat self and I don't know, actually read
what I write instead of arguing against what Snit says I write. I
don't expect a response because I suspect you realize how dumb you
look.

Yawn. Whenever you are proved wrong you insist that the info you read is
"out of context". Boring. Remember, you are the one who insisted -
repeatedly - that the book "Coordinating user interfaces for consistency"
which talks about the importance of following such principles (and ways of
doing so) supported your silly denials of those principles. I mean, really,
how much more wrong could you be?

Even worse: to try to support your absurd claim, you pulled one paragraph
completely out of context... doing what you accuse me of (though you have
*no* examples). Ironic, eh? Your problem largely comes down to this:
<http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~saul/481/process_diagram.html>. You focus
on column one and deny the importance of column three. Rinse and repeat, no
matter how much information you are shown about column three... and, wow,
there is a *lot*.

You have claimed people only follow the science (at least some of it)
because they do not know better:

cc:
-----
No, every designer does not start from scratch. Some
designers follow your principals because, like you, they
don't know any better.

Remember, what you call "my" principles are the principles supported by
science, experts, standards bodies, etc. Not "mine" at all - other than the
fact that unlike you I do not deny their importance. With that said, you do
not discount *all* of the research, you just focus on column 1 and ignore
the rest (or at least column 3).

I gave two big examples, above: the claims about the book supporting your
denials and your denials of column 3 in HCI. You are completely wrong about
those two things... and those two things cover most of what we debated about
in terms of HCI.

And it is not like those are isolated incidents or oddities for you to be so
wrong... there are many examples, such as when you insisted that Carroll's
paper found in OCLC Systems & Services. Vol. 21 No. 3, 2005.pp. 167-180 is
just a student worksheet. Just amazingly wrong of you (a student worksheet
in a peer reviewed journal [1]... what?) - and pretty sad considering how
many times you accuse me of not being familiar with the literate we
reference.

[1] Note: your claim was not that it was *also* a student worksheet, you
denied it was a part of the paper

I am the one who defends you and says you do not discount all of the science
behind HCI... so your claim there is completely wrong. You do, however,
repeatedly deny the importance of column 3. And you are wrong to do that,
too.

Nor did anyone say there were. Your implication otherwise is wrong.

They absolutely do: largely the ones from column 3, though also others. So,
again, you are wrong.

Including using the general principles. Sure. But then you deny these
principles, even going so far as to deny that they are discussed in books
which have them as their sole focus!

What? You mean one has to do more than quote a word! Oh no! Again, your

Sure you can (well, if you know the general goals of the design!) and I have
provided *many* examples:

From PCLOS:
Poorly done menus: <http://goo.gl/da15g>
Poorly done dialogs: <http://goo.gl/C1kWI>
Poorly done and Inconsistent dialogs: <http://goo.gl/LHJJh>
Mouse pointers that do not do as they say: <http://goo.gl/4VWJl>

From Ubuntu:
Poorly done menus: <http://goo.gl/pH2cv>
Copy and paste oddities, etc: <http://goo.gl/IjlkV>

The idea you cannot tell these weaknesses exist from the info provided is
just silly. Of course you can! Well, *I* and most others can... you claim
not to.

Yet you cannot find any evidence online for your absurd denials, nor explain
why you deny column 3 and why you make such absurd claims about books and
papers.

Both. They are not mutually exclusive. Having proven critical

each design from the ground up.

My, you do get confused easily!

> Well most of your idiocy is snipped below, but
> two things:

Of course you snipped - you always do when I talk about how absurd your
claims are. To recap, you asked where you were wrong and I noted many
examples:

1) Your insistence the book "Coordinating user interfaces for consistency"
supported your silly denials... it did not.
2) Your pulling of a quote from that book out of context to try to support
your silly claim.
3) Your denials of column 3 from here: <http://goo.gl/7KtN2>
4) Your insistence that you cannot tell the following examples of poor UI
are, well, examples of poor UI: <http://goo.gl/da15g>,
<http://goo.gl/C1kWI>, <http://goo.gl/LHJJh>, <http://goo.gl/4VWJl>,
<http://goo.gl/pH2cv>, <http://goo.gl/IjlkV>
5) Your insistence that Carroll published student worksheets in peer reviews
journals (you made this claim to deny the info was a part of the article)

You just repeatedly run from these things - which pretty much proves you
know how full of BS your posts on this topic have been. Face it: you had
very little idea on the topic of UI design / HCI and you made some absurd
comments. It happens... we all make mistakes. I just hope you can deal
with yours better than you have been.

Which is not the same as your current admission that it *is* science (as

up until now.

Every every UI must be designed from the ground up but not started from

Twist all you want - your claims are clearly contradictory. Either they
start from scratch or they do not. Hint: they do not.

I could not prevent Hadron from posting even if I wanted to. You are just
spewing nonsense to try to move the goalpost away from your obvious
ignorance.

And notice how you have *no* comment on any of this. As noted: you know you
have *no* leg to stand on. So why keep pretending you have not been
amazingly wrong? You clearly have been.

Your old claim that the science was not a part of it (before it was "behind"
it or there were scientific aspects but it was not science itself - not that
you ever really explained what that meant) to your new claim that it is
science *and* art. But based on your quotes, I see you have been going back
and forth on this for some time. OK. Whatever. Not really something I
care about.

Oh give me a break. Building are physically built from the "ground up", but
their design is not done from the ground up. You used a metaphor and are
now talking about a literal interpretation for a physical item being built.
Built from the ground up, as an idiom, means to build it from nothing... and
houses are not built from nothing, they are based on massive amounts of work
that has come before them (at least professionally built ones!)

You sure try to move the topic to me a lot when you know you are wrong.
Remember: what classes you claim to have taken or what classes I have taken
are completely irrelevant to this discussion. Hence the reason you keep
running to that topic - to avoid talking about your errors. Your
humiliating errors (some of which are listed above - only to have you ignore
them... you have nothing to respond with, you made a fool of yourself and I
called you on it).

So HCI is a science, correct? And I'm woefully ignorant in all things
HCI, right? Well I'd like to hear some science then. I don't need
hundreds of lines and quotes from random places, just straight from
the horse's ass. I already know you're going to dodge the question,
but why not try asking anyway, right. Using some science, explain why
those are examples of poor UI design. I don't see why you wouldn't be
able to use some scientific explanations to show me why. We'll ignore
whether or not you can tell based on sight that they're poor examples
of UI for right now. Maybe I am wrong about that, probably not. But
since HCI is a science, you should be able to prove to me that those
are poor UI designs. Give it to me short and sweet (and get your mind
out of the gutter you silly goose). Remember, we're all looking for
the science here. And don't be ashamed if you don't know how.

Woah! Saying that there is science behind something is absolutely
saying that science is a part of it.

How is that possibly hard to understand?

Good to see you renounce the others:

1) Your insistence the book "Coordinating user interfaces for consistency"
supported your silly denials... it did not.

You no longer claim, as you did before, that the noted book supports your
silly denials - and you accept it shows the importance of those principles.
Right?

2) Your pulling of a quote from that book out of context to try to support
your silly claim.

You deny you pulled up the following quote from the book and tried to use it
to support the claim I noted in 1, above:
-----
Consistency has no meaning on its own; It is inherently a
relational concept. Therefore to merely say that an interface
is consistent or that consistency is a goal of user interface
design is also meaningless.
----

3) Your denials of column 3 from here: <http://goo.gl/7KtN2>

And you no longer deny the importance of column 3, which includes:
"interface guidelines". Excellent!

5) Your insistence that Carroll published student worksheets in peer reviews
journals (you made this claim to deny the info was a part of the article)

And you denounce that claim of yours, too.

Good to see you finally come to your senses and denounce much of your past
absurdities and silly claims. I am impressed you would do so.

We can go off on to other topics if you wish, but the comment was about your
claim that you cannot tell those are examples of poor UI.

Can you? Yes or no? To be clear: *I* can. And I can explain why they are
bad. Can you identify what makes them bad? So far it seems not. And this
is key: you are admitting you cannot tell something that anyone with even
common sense, no less a background in UI design, can tell you. Those
examples *are* bad. Period.

> And I'm woefully ignorant in all things HCI, right?

All things? Who knows... but you have made it very clear you do not have
the knowledge or background to be able to understand why those are examples
of poorly done UIs (or UI elements, really).

> Well I'd like to hear some science then.

You have been shown massive amounts of research and the like. You ignore or
call it student worksheets and the like.

Since you denounce peer reviews journals and books from some of the top
researches in the field, what would you accept? Bottom line, though, you
are admitting you cannot call those examples out as bad - you are admitting
you do not have the knowledge and background to do so.

Good. I agree: your knowledge and background in this area is clearly very
limited. I mean, really, look at these: <http://goo.gl/da15g>,

If you cannot figure out why those are bad, as you admit, then you are
pretty much lost on any discussion of UI design.

And here you are denying you can tell. LOL! Really... you are just lost.
Hey, why not pick one and I can explain it in more detail to you.

Are you going to change your tune and stop denouncing peer reviewed articles
and books by top folks in the field? If so, I am happy to point you to them
again. If you are not willing to change your tune on that, though, I fear
we are at a stand-still. You reject the very evidence of the science you
ask for... which is your weakness, not mine.

You mean the very thing you denied has science in it. Got it. Remember,
your initial claim was that the "science" in it was a "soft science" which
you did not consider to be a science. Heck, you denied psychology was a
science. Remember your "rules and proofs" BS and how you used to say for
something to be a science it had to be "irrefutable"? Yeah... good to see
you renounce that, too.

Gee, so you were arguing against some straw man who was denying there is art

What do you think I was wrong about? If you can quote my error I will have
no problem admitting to it as an error - if it really is an error.

Big "if". Not that I do no make errors - I do - but given your track record
on this topic I doubt you know enough to find any.

Ahh, so you were going to quote from peer reviewed articles and books.
That was your "science." Got it. So do you think that when asked to
critique and evaluate a design in the those HCI classes, whose entire
semester of knowledge was transfered to you in a one sentence blurb,
that they expect quotations?

You made it sound like that is not sufficient. What science were you hoping
for?

One sentence blurbs? What? Your classes sucked. Really.

Ok: so even you admit that peer reviewed articles and books from the top
folks in the field are not sufficient for you (and, frankly, that was
already clear - look at how you repeatedly discounted such). So what would
you accept?

LOL!

The fact is you will accept *nothing*. You have your mind made up, have

I accept that all *you* can provide are quotes from articles and
books. That's what I meant with "Got it." It's accepted. But you ran
from the question. I asked you to evaluate a design. Would your
evaluation consisting of quotes (which you don't have to provide, I
think we all agree that you can find quotes) be an acceptable
evaluation in any HCI class?

I already accepted your answer. I asked for science and you said you
could provide quotes. You ignored my follow-up question, which I
repeated above. I have one additional follow-up question: Do you
consider quoting papers to be science?

Yes. But if you just focus on "one sentence blurbs", then it seems you do
not. Why have that as a focus? Sure, I bet you meant that as an insult
against me... as a dodge for your discounting of peer reviewed articles and
books by the top folks in the field, but why? Why not just answer
questions? Why do you run so much and try to move goal posts?

The question is simple: you say you want more science. I note that you
reject peer reviewed journals and books by the top folks in the field... so
what will you accept as "science"?

You keep asking for the *science* behind my being able to tell these designs
are bad: <http://goo.gl/da15g>, <http://goo.gl/C1kWI>,

I have shown you where peer reviewed articles and books from top people in
the field support my views... so what else do you want? Face it: you just
do not have the background or knowledge to be able to tell those are poorly
done UI elements... you already admitted this. Or are you back pedaling on
that now?

No. I did not. You made that up. I said I can point to peer reviewed
articles and to books from top folks in the field. Since these are not
enough for you, what would be?

I consider your game playing to be idiotic. What... do you want me to run a
full scientific study for you now? I mean, really, you are just being
absurd.

The fact is you simply do not have the background or knowledge to know the
following designs are poorly done: <http://goo.gl/da15g>,

You have made this clear. As such, you are admitting you are clueless on
the topic.

You admit you do not have the background or knowledge to know the following
examples of UIs are poorly done: <http://goo.gl/da15g>,

Then you say you want scientific evidence to support the claims that they
are, but you say peer reviewed journals and books from top folks in the
field are not sufficient... as you run from questions as to what would be
considered sufficient for you. The answer, of course, is *nothing*: you
have made up your mind that the basic principles of UI design are things you
wish to reject no matter how much evidence you see supporting their
importance (no less their existence). You also whine that people quote
"snippets" of the evidence instead, presumably, of quoting entire books to
you. I mean, really, how many more quotes and explanations and evidence do
you need?

Bottom line: you have admitted your ignorance and have shown you have no
idea how to grow past it, even with the help of others. This frustrates you
so you lash out and belittle others. So be it... it is not like you are
fooling anyone.

You dodged the question again. Would providing quotations and sourcing
peer reviewed articles and books be enough for a professor of an HCI
class in this small design evaluation exercise?

Well I think we're basically saying the same thing. When I said "you
could provide quotes," I meant you could provide actual quotations
from articles and books. So what I was saying was that I asked for
science and you pointed to peer reviewed articles and books. I never
said these were not enough for me. I just asked additional follow-up
questions, which you're dodging.

So do you believe that the only two options are doing a full
scientific study (of which you are not specific) or using papers and
books?

I am not interested in your side issues, but I will say that in *my* classes
I do more of what I do in COLA - I give not just what you list but examples
and show reasoning. If you want to know what a class is like, email someone
teaching one. Interesting how you are now making it quite clear that you
have never taken such a class (which, given your admission of your lack of
experience and knowledge, frankly is not surprising).

What you *think* is irrelevant. You claimed I said something I did not say.
As for the rest of your BS, you are just running scared. You have made it
very clear you have neither the background nor the experience to figure out
why the following are examples of poor UI choices: <http://goo.gl/da15g>,

<http://goo.gl/pH2cv>, <http://goo.gl/IjlkV>. Additionally, you cannot even
imagine what it would take to get you to that level of understanding.

You have admitted to your ignorance on the topic of UI development and HCI -
which is quite contrary to your past claims. In other words: you are
admitting you lied previously.

Well thanks. I believe I gathered all I needed to know from what you
did answer and what you ran from. If you wish to go back and actually
answer some questions, then I may have to change my mind, but I think
it's fairly obvious otherwise. You and Hadron can go back to being
butt-buddy retards and completely dodging any evidence/questions that
are designed to educate. I can't wait to see Hadron post another "cc,
you're usually reasonable, but the fact that you don't find UI design
important is ludicrous even though you've only actually said the exact
opposite" full-on retard post. Sorry to interrupt.

LOL! You could not even make up a question that has not been answered. And
you ran from your lies. But, hey, prove me wrong and explain what is wrong
with those UIs I link to, above.

But you cannot. You are *completely* clueless on the topic. Completely.
All your claims to the contrary were lies.

I asked you to evaluate a few designs.
You responded that you could evaluate them by referencing articles and
books. Later you mentioned you could do a full-on scientific study.

Do you think either of those methods would satisfy an HCI professor
asking you to evaluate an HCI design?

A full scientific study is generic, what would you do in this study?

Are those the only two things you can do to evaluate a design?

Do you consider referencing articles and books to be science?

You are just lost... babbling off topic to try to deal with the fact you
were busted lying:

Each of those is an example of poor UI design. This is obvious... but you
admit it goes beyond your ability to understand. Your BS about begging to
learn about classes and science is not even relevant.

You lied. Oh well.

What designs? I have no idea which ones you even mean... but then you claim
I am "running".

I call BS on that. Of course, the fact is I asked *you* if you could tell
if some UI elements were poorly done - and, if so, how you could tell:

You admitted, contrary to your past claims, that you do not have the
background or knowledge to figure out why those are clearly bad. In other
words, you admitted you lied.

So stop trying to change the topic. Stop snipping and running. Stop adding
to your lies.

Any response you give which is just repetition of your past BS will be
ignored. You lied and then admitted to it... deal with it.

You need to start paying attention... he already told you what a

"The study of something (in a scientific way), *that* is a science.
Have you ever wondered what the "ology" part of so many sciences

I didn't lie about anything. You do not know how to evaluate a design.

After reading your arguments with him I'd say you're sounding kind of
whiny and bitchy;)

But then, you *are* talking about a guy that does stuff like:


<begin material Snit quoted of you>

cc 1:
-----
No, every designer does not start from scratch. Some
designers follow your principals because, like you, they
don't know any better.
-----
cc 2:
-----
Each UI must be designed from the ground up.
-----
<end material Snit quoted of you>

Snit quoted that as he asked you:

"Which one do you believe is right? LOL! "

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/d648e42f763b3064?hl=en&

Snit's obviously trying to sell the idea that there is some sort of
inconsistency there. Is it another example of him being disingenuous?
Or his infamous reading comprehension problem?


Then there are Snit's many allegations talking about what you have
"admitted" to... here are a few (the last one, talking about
repetition, is my fav;)

"Bottom line: you have admitted your ignorance and have shown you have
no idea how to grow past it, even with the help of others. "

"Face it: you just do not have the background or knowledge to be able


to tell those are poorly done UI elements... you already admitted
this. Or are you back pedaling on that now?"

"You have admitted to your ignorance on the topic of UI development


and HCI - which is quite contrary to your past claims. In other
words: you are admitting you lied previously."

"In the end, you have now admitted you lied about having knowledge and


experience in the area of HCI and UIs. You lied."

"And how will it change the fact you have now admitted you have no


clue how to tell if the following are examples of poorly done UIs:"

"And was this *after* you admitted you lied about your experience -


when you admitted to the above?"

"You admitted, contrary to your past claims, that you do not have the


background or knowledge to figure out why those are clearly bad. In
other words, you admitted you lied."

"Any response you give which is just repetition of your past BS will


be ignored. You lied and then admitted to it... deal with it."

Fun stuff;)

Hey... I'm even offering to go over the history of quotes like these
with Snit... so he can exonerate himself from the charges all these
folks have made against him. I don't know if he's seen my offer or not
(he claims to have me kf'd - but he definitely reads at least some of
my posts). Seems to me he's jump at the chance to refute everyone's
claims about him, especially being that I offered to do all the
legwork of grabbing the history. Realistically, what does he have to
lose? I mean. it's not like it's possible for him to appear to be more
dishonest than he does now, right? He has everything to gain.

You lied that you had experience with HCI / UI design - this lie was shown
when you admitted you do not have the background or knowledge to understand
why those examples show poor design. You lied. Why do you pretend
otherwise once you have admitted to it?

Heh, heh, heh. cc expresses the truth. Snit does his usual snippage, then

Sandman's website, and yes he's that fucked in the head and starved for

Admittedly, to your delusional spaced out paranoiac view point, Elizabot
was suddenly "threatening" to you. In so much as you had to take your
kooky self down to your local police shop and blub on their shoulders
about how much in danger you were in [sob, whine], and they had to waste
valuable policing time consoling you over your stupidity. I bet they have

do a search - you will flatter him, and give meaning to his tawdry little
life." 25 Oct 2006

151- Znu: "The Snit Circus has gotten particularly bad as of late. When I
set up my filters to kill all of Snit's posts, plus direct replies to them
(which is how I'm keeping things from now on), nearly 40% of the most
recent 1000 articles in CSMA go out the window. .... In all, something
like 50% of the traffic in this group is now related to Snit insanity.
.... I killfile Edwin because I don't have a patience to have discussions
with someone who deliberately tries to waste my time. But watching *other
people* tie him knots can be entertaining. The Snit-related posts are not
like this. They are endless repetitions of the exact same material and/or
arguments dating back *years* about who said what." 20 Apr 2008

Will this stop Snit from whining that we never quote him?
