how to remove old posts
ooglyboogly
the hot-headed youngster I used to be. At that time, who knew that
Google would take over the world and learn everything knowable about
everyone?
How may I, or whom may I contact, to remove those posts?
Thank you!

Ug. No wonder folks can't get a job any more, with employers
searching the Internet.
I guess that means that all the future politicians will be only those
who don't know how to use the Internet. Wonderful!
Frank, thanks for your help.

I use Google groups, and I can remove my own original posts by
clicking "more options" in the upper right of the message you wish to
remove, and then clicking "remove" and confirming.

The Central Screwtinizer
There was no Google Groups fifteen years ago, so ooglyboogly is SOL on
deleting those old posts via a simple browser page. At best, he would have to
find the message ids for every post he wants killed and send them to Google to
request their deletion.
But, if his posts were ever quoted by anybody, even if oogly could get his own
posts deleted, all of these quotes will always be out there, indexed by search
widgets, including the username. And hits on his quotes will be available for
perusal, forever.

The Central Screwtinizer, huh? Is that anything like a, um, frank zapper?
Anyhoo, you're not understanding what (the other) Dave means by "Google groups"

about - he thinks he heard it on BBC America...or the Boston Herald...

You might can, but why bother? Are you sure you want to work for a company that
gets all worked up about what a potential employee posted to ROFF 15 years ago,
assuming you weren't advocating kiddie porn or something similar...in which
case, you deserve what you get (or don't, as the case may be). I mean, even
then, ROFF was, um, well, it's own kinda place, even as USENET generally went.
IAC, I looked at some of the readily-found of your posts back then, and a couple
of environmental teases to a troll don't seem like job-stoppers.
HTH,

Um.....you mean contact someone you can trust? Good luck with that.
> Thank you!
You're welcome.
Meanwhile, there are other options available to you:
1. You could grow up fifteen years ago. Not as easy as it sounds, I
suspect, but worth the trouble if the reports I've heard and read are
to be given any credence at all..
2. You could grow up now.....own your actions. Justify them or face
what you are. Doesn't sound all that pleasant, ainna?
3. You could kill all potential employers, spouses, life-mates,
friends, career politicians, law enforcement officials, journalists,
siblings and/or anyone else who could, should, might or has come into
contact with you and/or anyone or anything that might be interesting
or interested in your tendentious past.
4. You could stop sending up signal flares by continuing to post
damning drivel in Usenet groups.
There's more.
Would you like more?

The comments, made by the individual you refer to as having made "childish"
comments, were actually food for thought for you, but you failed to arrive
on time for dinner.
Better that you simply ignore what you either didn't understand or chose not
to accept as reality.
Anyway, by the time you expire, you will wish to be able to take back many
more words than you have written thus far in your life--assuming you live a

driving away the accursed shadows clouding the minds of troglodytes
such as me. Maybe some day, just maybe, your light will shine on me,
like the light of Jesus himself. Giving me a moralistic, pedantic,
sarcastic tirade, involving things like time travel and murder, was
exactly what I needed, rather than an answer to the simple question
you ignored. What insight! What brilliance! Thank you for going out
of your way to answer the question I REALLY wanted an answer to, and
not the one I asked. Most people wouldn't have taken the time to do
that. Some might call it stupid, but those folks, they just don't
understand.
And sitting at the right hand of Giles' throne, Mark, thank you for
showing me that what I really wanted wasn't just an answer to my
question, but a fiery sermon from on high, from Giles, THE Giles, so
that I may cure my wicked ways. If not for your 2 cents, again
unrelated to my original question, GIles' sage words may have fallen
on deaf ears. Now, I will take them to heart. Where is my time
machine? I know I put it somewhere...
Please prophets, keep speaking your wisdom! I will go unto the lands
to find others, that they may hear the word, the TRUE word! Maybe
they too can ask simple questions, and then they too can get berated
by the chosen ones on quasi-related topics, which will maybe bring
some of them back from the dark side.
Keep up the good work, gentlemen. Spread the good news. Your efforts
are making a difference in all our hearts and minds.

Look, you've probably figured out by now that removing old posts isn't
the easiest thing in the world but, if you're determined, it can be
done.
Things You'll Need:
* Bricks
* Concrete Blocks
* Measuring Tapes
* Heavy Piece Of Lumber
* Ropes
* Common Nails
* Hammers
* Shovels
Step 1
Remove the dirt from around the post.
Step 2
Measure up about a foot from ground level and drive a nail
halfway into each face of the post.
Step 3
Put a stack of bricks or concrete blocks at the edge of the area
you dug out.
Step 4
Lay a heavy piece of lumber across the bricks - this will act as
a lever to pull the post up out of the ground.
Step 5
Wrap a strong rope around the post under the nails (the nails
will hold the rope in place).
Step 6
Tie the ends of the rope to the lever. Press down on the other
end of the lever. You, and maybe another person, might have to stand
on it.

See what I mean about hate? Bringing my off-spring into a petty
argument? Shame on you, Bowen. Shame on you.
I do not celebrate war. No one that has been in the military, whether
as a career or a two year shot, celebrates war. I say and know that
war is inevitable because of assholes like you. Not one day in my
life, not one day in 72 years, has there been peace on this earth. Man
is the only species, besides the ant, that wages war on its own
species. Think about that, Bowen. And give me a day, any day, where
you have not seen war, man killing man, in YOUR life time. Must be
different down there in the mountains with those Mouseketeers.

Ah, THAT's what it's all about. Education. I'm 72, Bowen, with more
of an education than you. When you are 72, I doubt you will be as
successful as I have been, or as comfortable as I am now. Good luck on
being the most educated janitor in the Old North State. Youre what -
55ish? You should be approaching at least your first million. If you
aren't, then all that "formal edumacation" ain't doing you shit. You
do not need a college piece of paper to be successful, Bowen.

Edumacation AND my wife. LOL. You be a funny guy, Bowen. I just told

It seems to me that a simple lever won't give much mechanical advantage.
I've used a jack to remove posts. A heavy duty jack works best, but in a
pinch any car jack should work.

The mechanical advantage of a simple lever (a first class lever, based
on the description in this instance) is purely a function of the
relative lengths of the beam on either side of the fulcrum. Thus,
using a six foot bar with the fulcrum an inch from the post would
yield a mechanical advantage of 71:1. A downward force of 50 pounds
applied to the long end of the lever would translate to an upward
force of 3550 pounds of upward force at the short end. You should
have learned this in about the third grade. So, I guess it all
depends on what you call "much."

Mechanical jacks generally work on the principle of a simple lever.
g.
Giles

I just calculated the mechanical advantage of the jack for my F150. It's
163:1 +/- 10% -- more than twice as much as your hypothetical lever.
You'd need a lever of about 13' to match it. Good luck finding one with
enough bending strength to handle a stubborn post.

Some do, but not screw jacks, such as the one from my F150. Like all
"screws," they operate on the principle of the inclined plane.
By the way, another very big advantage of a jack over a simple lever for
removing posts, and maybe even more important than mechanical advantage,
is holding power. Lever-type jacks will have ratchets. Screw jacks don't
need them.
Try removing a 6" diameter post buried 4' deep with a simple lever, and
then try it with a decent jack, and then get back to me.

Hm.....it might be interesting to see the math on that. And what is
the mechanical principle upon which that jack depends? Incidentally,
my lever isn't hypothetical. I have a six foot long steel bar that
has been put to use as a lever many times. I generally find something
or other in situ to use as a fulcrum.
> You'd need a lever of about 13' to match it.
I expressed an interest in finding something to match your
hypothetical jack and no one told me? tsk tsk.
> Good luck finding one with

Depends on the size and stubbornnes of the post. I've removed many
with significantly less than 13' levers.

No shit?

Not all of them. Some are hydraulic. If we ever get through this
tedious lesson, leaving you with a rudimentary understanding of simple
levers, we may move on to that.

Done it both ways.....and other ways as well. My personal preference
is a nice hydraulic back hoe or something similar. Your going to have
a hard time making me believe you've ever done it by whatever
method.......a natural result of your obvious failure to understand
something as simple as a lever.......while describing its hypothetical
use.

I'm glad you asked that question, because in answering it I realized
that my math was wrong. The mechanical advantage of my F150 screw jack
is actually twice what I calculated, or 326:1. (You'd need a lever 27'
feet long to match it.)
Determining the mechanical advantage of a screw jack depends on two
measurements: the pitch of the screw helix and the radius of the crank.
In this case:
pitch: P = 1 mm
crank radius: R = 26 mm
The circumference of the circle (of diameter D) subsumed by the crank is:
C = 2*pi*D = 2*pi*(2*R) = 326 mm
The mechanical advantage is:
A = C/P = 326
My careless mistake was using the radius for the diameter.

Well, if you have a backhoe this whole discussion is irrelevant.
A hydraulic jack would be a good choice. I used them to raise my cabin
when I replaced the foundation two years ago. I could probably dig up
some photos.

That wasn't a question. It was a factual statement. The differences
are interesting, but that's yet another lesson for another
time......once we've completed the one in progress and the next one,
already promised. For now, suffice it to say that the fundamental
difference is most often easy to recognize in print by the presence of
a question mark "?" at the end of the former and lacking in the
latter.

I can't honestly say that I remember ever actually measuring the
length of a fulcrum I've used with a lever. It never seemed relevant
or necessary. That said, I'm quite certain that while working in the
woods I've used some that long and even much longer. Why does it
matter?

With or without heavy equipment, one half of it is irrelevant. Has it
ever occurred to you to wonder why it is that everything you touch

And if you use a shovel to so, what fundamental mechanical device is
the shovel an excellent example of?

private water that is supposed to be pretty nice. I always have lots
of the clear stuff.

We close on Jan 11, and will move in on that date, I suspect. Looking
forward to it. Grandson #2 is going to live here -free except for
utilities. (He's already moved into the Peter Charles Suite.) We will
come back to Taxachusetts sometime in May, and return to Georgia in
September.

Apparently, in hindsight, you didn't REALLY want to see the math on that.

And BTW, your math on the hypothetical 6' lever with a fulcrum 1" from
the load was incorrect. The mechanical advantage is:
MA = length of effort arm � length of resistance arm
Length of effort arm = 72"-1" = 71"
Length of resistance arm = 1"
MA = 71:1, not 72:1 as you stated.
In the future, when removing old posts, you should use a 6'1" lever, or
much better, a jack, or even better, a backhoe.

If you look closely at the statement you quoted above (or even if you
don't, as is evidently the case), it says, "...it might be interesting
to see the math on that." It turns out that it wasn't. This came as
no surprise to me.....or to you. The simple truth is that you figured
out that you had stepped on your dick.....AGAIN!.....just as soon as I
pointed it out to you. You also realized that no amount of cavilling
bullshit was going to rectify the situation but,like so many others
here, you just couldn't give up without trying to cover your stupid
ass with a mess of even stupider shit in the hope that the usual cast
of cretins wouldn't be able to figure it out. And you were certainly
right about that. But that doesn't make you any less pathetic does
it?

No. A horse is not a simple mechanical device. It has four
legs.....and is not particularly concerned about its ancestry.

So? Try riding a shovel. Not so easy is it?

Um, are you suggesting Louie is the 400 pound rock or the 6 foot tool...? I
mean, if Joanne had moved 400 pounds of wet oatmeal in a rubber sack off the end
of a dock, your meaning would have been clear, but...

Just wondering: Do you see something wrong or fishy or plainly absurd in
my measurements or math?
This is a test, but I don't expect anything but a vitriolic spitball in
reply.
And BTW, why are you so interested in my dick?
David LaCourse
March or April? You're a candy-ass, counselor. You could come down
just to eat, drink, and swap lies.

Fresh, deep powder.....no, not so easy. Any other time.....piece of
cake.
