Could someone give me some technical advice on this? I put Pickle in my
killfile and he's still showing up. I use the recgroups newsreader. Am I
entering the filter information wrong?

By the way, Pickle- nice spelling on Petraeus's name. It takes a Louisiana
lawyer to display erudition like that. Not to worry though. I'll have this
filter issue solved soon.

Typo? Petraius rather than Petraeus? The 'i' isn't anywhere near the 'e'
on a keyboard. And "Petraeus's" is correct.

In usage an apostrophe without an "s" following an "s" is acceptable but
it is not required. "s's" is equally acceptable.

And what kind of a sentence is this: "What a word ends in �s� it�s . . ."?
Is someone supposed to understand what that means without guessing?

But I'm getting a little carried away here. I know you probably went to
public school in Louisiana, Pickle, so I apologize for criticizing your
spelling. I attribute this nitpicking to annoyance over not being able to
killfile your posts. I will be taking this "senior member" BS up with Paul.

I don't know who is senior here, but I've been posting since before rec.gambling broke up into the subgroups.

Not according to most arbitrators of modern usage, unfortunately.

Can you get 'da pickle' filtered out of my newsgroup reader then?

I can't even get my seat on the couch back from my kids without a lot of shouting.

Tim (and Larry) ... risky is pretending to correct himself and making a
mistake in the correction as well ... and the real humor is his
pretending that he cannot figure out how to killfile himself.

ok, I looked it up and you are correct. Now, show you can also be a
gentleman and stop posting with my handle. Confine your posts to
‘risky biz’ and stop posting as ‘da pickle’. Everybody knows it’s you
anyway and I’d appreciate it.

[risky biz]

That's a pretty funny request you're making because I've been trying to
figure out if this is the "real" Pickle or the "fake" Pickle. If you're
the "fake" Pickle you're subtly making fun of the "real" Pickle. If you're
the "real" Pickle you're delusional. LOL.
