Why can we not do the same with SWNMNBM? SP -- Finally: take out the TRASHH

Has nothing whatsoever to do with disputes.
Has to do with LYING and violation of "netiquette",
Freedom of speech has limitations. In usenet, as long as a person has an account, that person can "speak" *almost* whatever the person desires. The trouble is, sooner or later, the audience will become so small that it's as good as no one "listening".
I am a "non-listener" because the poster "speaks" nothing worth my efforts to "listen". Seeing words on my monitor is completely different from "reading and listening" to the thoughts/ideas of the poster.

Some of us rarely even have our screens defiled by the words. The blanket was thrown over that particular parrot cage a long time ago.

You got it right. I rarely let the words get on my screen because I use a "mark read" click without hesitation. Usually a speaking parrot is smart enough to come up with something different in order to get attention!!!!!!!!! -- even if it's just noise!!!

But all around the parrot cage, there is still bird shit all over the place, messing and stinking in the most objectionable way. _That_ is the part I cannot stomach. SP

Get an education in reading usenet if you don't understand how it's done. Look above where it says "The Webby [cut] wrote in message [cut]..."
and tell anyone or everyone (since almost no one will read your post) exactly where *you* wrote anything at all.

Random thoughts, hope you can use one of them.
1) If the parrot is totally insignificant and not even worthy of mention, it must also be so for the droppings.
2) If you can pretend the parrot is not there, you can pretend the droppings are not there.
3) If you ignore the parrot long enough, it will get bored and go somewhere else in search of a responsive audience.
4) Remember that lady on Saturday Night Live who sticks her fingers in her ears and makes that "LULULULULULU" noise?

Bienvenue, mon ami!
backspace over the suffix and look at some of his other photos (in the FUN tab). Some are good, like the kitty wearing a fruit peel, and some are gross.
BTW: I took a pic of my Salton coffee warmer with some GP on it and what it looks like when you put a plugger in it. I'll put those up soon. Cheers! SP -- Finally: take out the TRASHH

That would be a description of Joel.
That's the same as my saying And so are you but what am I? That's the way I have talked since the tird grade andthat's the way I still talk now.
Now that is one lollipot that should not be filtered.
