I've been on Usenet for about 10 years now and it's just flooded with
trolls now. I think my time is better used somewhere else.
So...Goodbye. I'm off the Usenet Addiction Committee. Numero Uno. It
was fun while it lasted. Sort of weird posting my thoughts randomly to
a bunch of strangers for 10 years on various newsgroups. I'll maintain
my posting on comp.sys.cbm, because that newsgroup seems to be one of
the few places were the trolls and charlatans don't mix.

So goodbye to my newsgroup friends/trolls/whomever.

See ya,

Paul

Post or not, as you like, but: *please* get appropriate treatment, and
stick with it. I honestly wish you the best.

Probably a premature celebration. Paul loves to hear himself talk and
he'll probably be back.

Remember how long he kept his pledge not to respond to you, David?

Yes, but we can always hope.

Apparently Usenet.

The best way to beat an addiction is to go cold turkey.

Actually, that's one of the worst ways to beat an addiction.

This will not affect the 2K Comp (at least, I see no reason why it should).
Perhaps Paul can have someone else post the announcements for the Comp.

Nonsense. I quit smoking at least 4 times by going cold turkey.
