What did this poor guy ever do to you? What does it matter if other
people choose to reply to him or not? And what good does it do for
you to killfile him anyway if you always end up joining the threads he
starts?

I think he comes up with some pretty odd topics but he's basically
harmless and those odd topics occasionally even spark some decent
discussions...so deal with it.

...Actually, you're not far from joining him in Killfile Hell. Your
refusal to trim your quotes is becoming really annoying, quoting
entire nested quotes and then adding one or two lines of comment is a
waste of bandwidth.

...That being said, I've dealt with Blacklipstickranger the same way I
deal with any troll: I killfile the bastard, then advise anyone who
replies to him to cease replies and killfile him as well. Eventually
he'll go away and we'll have put him out of our misery fo good.

I'm torn on this. In some ways I've found some of his topics in the past
amusing, but sometime I agree with OM. I've been around awhile, 10 years
Feb., and while I don't post often I always make good posts. I do think
we could be better served with actual trivia questions rather than
pointless vs. posts.

I suppose we're even then since your juvenile nicknames, constant
name-dropping, and incessant whining about trimming quotes drive me
crazy.

That said, I'm not so quick to killfile people because there really
aren't a whole hell of a lot left posting in these groups and, if
you'd really killfile someone over something so trivial, I'd say
you're soon to be left talking to yourself.

...In order:

Hypocrisy, thou hast been named.

2) You want "name-dropping", you should have been here 20 years ago.
Some of the regulars were actually sleeping with creators in the
industry, and a couple actually married them. Another had an obsessive
homoerotic obsession with Harlan Ellison and made more "name-drops" in
a week than most gossip writers did. So what few names I've "dropped"
pale by comparison.

300 lines of quoted text - most of it unreadable because of all the

...No, he's a troll of the most base kind. Starting bullshit "hoo'd

Blacklipstickranger's guilty of that more times than most of us would

Yes...I have a screen name...a single name I came up with about 10
years ago...I think you're stretching a bit to label me a hypocrite
based solely on that but believe what you want...I certainly don't go
around making up "clever" nicknames for every creator and story I
don't like and then passing them off as though they were somehow the
accepted terms...it's largely an issue of attitude.

Then I suppose 20 years ago you would have fit right in...as it stands
now, it comes off as obnoxious self-promotion...and I probably would
have thought the same back then.

I do trim my quotes when I think about it but, honestly, it often
doesn't occur to me because I don't think it's all that difficult to
scroll down looking for the new text that tends to stand out
anyway...and apparently it's not such a big fucking deal or you
wouldn't be the only one with a bug up his ass about it.

...Well, maybe I *am* a grumpy old man. Hell, I turned 47 last month,
so I'm entitled to bitch when I see something retarded going on that
could easily be prevented. Trimming quotes is one of them, especially
when they remove .sigs which shouldn't be quoted in any case. Today's
newsreaders - especially if you're using Google Groups - for some
reason don't recognize the "--" as the flag to not quote anything
following that line, which is why those who have *any* consideration
for bandwidth usage should at least make sure the .sigs are gone from
whatever they're quoting.

Uhm, you appear obsessively concerned about bandwidth usage, but use
a five line sig to advertise a half-line web address?

The old standard for Usenet was four lines, back when people really
did care about bandwidth.

My point though was that you were making a big issue about saving
bandwidth while simultaneously having one of the larger sigs on the
group. (Indeed, sigs in general aren't as popular as they used to be.)

I thought the standard was 2-3 lines. Also in google groups your sig
will work properly if you add a space after the "--" as in "-- "

...Nope. Four was considered the standard, and five was the max
tolerated. I could trim it down to three, but so far I really have no

...After checking my .sig, I find that there *is* a space after the
"--". Which takes us back to schmucks not trimming their quotes just
to be schmucks.

For me, four was too much. Two lines was plenty.

Sigs are a waste of time and egotistical. Does anyone really read sig lines
nowadays anyway?

When I was a kid, I used a sig. Probably four lines. That makes
it look more like a sig than just some kind of postscript. It was a
bit egotistical and a bit because everyone else used them.

When I was older, and came back to Usenet, I don't know that I
ever bothered to set up another. If I did, I eventually removed it.

On message boards, when I did bother to set up a sig at all, it was
a short quote from a Terry Brooks book, "Help is a gift that one must
never grow to expect." I found it quite a relevant reminder to readers
of certain boards, where posters would sometimes demand immediate
direct answers as if it were some kind of right. I doubt many even
noticed the sig though, as these were also the kind of people who
wouldn't even read existing threads before posting a question that had
already been answered ten or twenty times.

Well, if we're doing a 50s theme, then a better merger would be between
Billy Batson and Quasar's antecedant, Marvel Boy.

There you go, Blackmystech Ranger. The story practically writes itself.
