then quit encouraging me. I crossposted to both ATS and ARK, and
they both topped.

Which is why crossposting is bad.

BTW, Jeffrey, is there a way to killfile all cross-posts?

In the presence of other members of the ill reputed

Yes, but it's rather tedious.

You have to set up a folder for each[1] group you want to do this in,
and a kill filter in that folder that matches <Newsgroups: ,> Then
you have to manually[2] copy/move every message to the target folder,
and apply filters.

Either that or wait until Forté decides to add any-header based
filtering for news. Don't know why it isn't already a feature, it's
available for mail.

[1]: Unless you prefer having all the messages from every group you
read lumped into a single folder.

[2]: Not really all that hard, actually. <ctrl-a, rclick, c, #
(where # is the # assigned to your folder in the menu)>

Subscribe to ATS and ARK, put a filter on both froups to Ignore
everything in there, and make sure that Crosspost Checking is
activated. The first two froups, being alphabetically first, will
receive the cross-posted messages, and ignore them. RHOD will benefit
from the Crosspost Checking and see none of the messages in question.

Alternatively, use Hamster to do the job, or NFilter.

All Tims are illusions, except for Lunch Tim, who is doubly so.

No, the fact that noone followed up means that it was a call. If you lose

One that suffices.

Obviously, Agent is my preferred newsreader. But, there's still some
features I'd like to see implemented that I'll probably never get.
Periodically, I try to check into other newsreaders, but I've yet to
find one that does all what Agent does and feels right. Eventually,
I'll probably find one and switch. Even that one, I'm sure, will be
less than adequate.

>asses keep making that honking sound when they have sex

Hmmm.... The Teletubbies do not appear to have the same physiology
as humans, so it's probably not accurate to guess that their sexual
habits are similar to those of humans. They do not have anything that is
readily identifiable as genitalia as we know it. However, given that
asexual reproduction seems unlikely for an apparently animal life-form,
some form of sexual organs must be present. Or in other words, they've
got nads, Jim, but not as we know them.

Examining Teletubby anatomy reveals only one likely sexual organ:
the curled spires at the tops of their heads. This is the only
anatomical difference among the four known Teletubby specimens,
and narration indicates that these four do in fact represent a
mixed-sex sample of the Teletubby population. This indicates a
curious difference between the Teletubbies and humans, namely
that there are at least four distinct types of Teletubby genitals.
It is not currently known if the four televised Teletubbies are
representative of the entire species, or merely a random sample,
so there's no way to know if other genital variations exist.
Narrative comments on the program describe Tinky Winky and Dipsy
as "he", and Laa-Laa and Po as "she", but evidence suggests that
this is a failing of the English language to accurately describe
a polysexual species. It's not clear which, if any, of the
Teletubbies could accurately be called "male" or "female".

This suggests that Teletubby sex follows very different patterns
than human sex. In examining the four captive specimens, it
seems likely that:
* Dipsy's prong-like genitalia make "him" the most sexually versatile,
capable of sexual intercourse with all of the others.
* Laa-Laa's twisted genitalia likely make it difficult for "her" to
have sex with either Tinky Winky or Po. Anything beyond extremely
shallow insertion would be very difficult and prone to getting "stuck".
* Po and Tinky Winky are probably sexually incompatible, in the sense
that it is physically impossible for them to engage in sexual intercourse.
Other sex acts may, of course, be possible.
Therefore it seems likely that Dipsy is the sexually dominant member
of the population.

In any case, it would seem that if Teletubby asses honk during sex, that
this honking is incidental to the sexual activity. Sexual intercourse
for Teletubbies does not necessarily involve anything near the abdomen.
And the apparent lack of a rectum makes anal sex an impossibility.

The real question is, how many times do they say "Again! Again!" before
their energy runs out?

P.S. There is an episode of Teletubbies in which Po demonstrates to
the others just how well "she" can blow them all, including Tinky Winky.
More study is clearly warranted.

No, there's only one of me, and I like my life status (i.e. "living") just as it

A friend of mine, eager to pander to the tired ego of time suggested these
too (my favourite comes first):

Come, fill the cup, and in the fire of spring
Your winter garment of repentance fling:
The bird of Tim has but a little way
To flutter - and the bird is on the wing.
(Omar Khayyam)

We must use Tim as a tool, not as a couch.
(JF Kennedy)

But at my back I always hear
Tim's winged chariot hurrying near.

Oh Tim! the beautifier of the dead,
Adorner of the ruin, comforter
And only healer when the heart hath bled;
... Tim, the avenger!
(Byron)

While Tim, The endless idiot, runs screaming 'round the world.
(Carson McCulers, When we are lost)

Tim and I against any two.
(Spanish Proverb. Quoted by Cardinal Mazarin during the minority of Louis XIV)

Tim is the only critic without ambition.
(John Steinbeck)

Tim turns the old days to derision,
Our loves into corpses or wives;
And marriage and death and division
Make barren our lives.
(A C Swinburne)

As if you could kill Tim without injuring eternity
(H D Thoreau)

O, call back yesterday, bid Tim return.
(Shakespeare)

Tim goes, you say? Ah no!
Alas, Tim stays, we go.

1. Scramble an egg inside its shell.
2. I don't know. Why don't you ask the Oracle?
3. Help a teenage attention seeker grow up.
4. Wait patiently for someone else to make an obvious joke.
5. Have a bar-b-que without argueing about the spices.
6. There is no answer #6.
7. End a thread.
8. Chuck wood.
9. Communal felch.
10. Start a cross-posting pseudo meta-cascade without interruption.
