When we come over that way we take the route (don't remember #) from
Newport that goes by English Mt. Another absolutely picture perfect
valley with farms, which we sure hope the developers don't buy up and
overbuild.
I also loved the sunrise reflection picture.
Thanks, Julie.

Well, I did the reinstall tonight, and like I figured, it ~wiped~...
my computer is back to like day one :/
Which can be a good thing (look at my new toy!) or a bad thing (oh,
the files I've lost) but I _did_ save most of my important stuff to
disk, and my photos I still have IRL, if not on the HD.
What I will try to do is D/L off the binaries gp and email them to
you, or icq if you prefer. Let me know. I have to reinstall icq... but
not tonight, starting the new job location tomorrow, and Grumpy sez
its bedtime! ;)

Well sung and enough of it!
I see what you mean, but it sounds kind of like cutting of their collective
noses to spite their faces to me. Yelling a every newcomer has got to be a
painful process for the yeller, the yellee, and us pore slobs reading it. Also,
this thread, for example, is being created just for that. It's got to be
approaching the size of the original binary. LOL!!
If I wuz an administrator ...oh no, here we go... I'd just set a size limit on
each message to, say, the first 4,000 ascii characters? That's equivalent to
about 4 ArdisOL windows, which exceeds my attention span for this newsgroup.
What do you think? Wouldn't that be the least objectionable way to limit the
maximum size of messages posted? The people who want to limit it, do the
limiting. People that want them big o' binaries set their limit higher.
Would save a lot of wasted time yelling at people, then getting yelled back at,
then more yelling, then (here's the worst part) everybody buddies up and starts
broadcasting concession speeches, apologies and then the hug-fests begin. And I
don't think anyone wants THAT!!! PeeeeYuke!!! Not pretty.
By the way, AOL does limit each message, but their limit is way up there. About
the only time it is exceeded is on one of the Federal Register newsgroups where
a Senator or some other clown goes on and on and on and starts frothing at the
mouth and falls over backwards, and they're forced to record every syllable the
buffoon spews out. (I'm finding out that what AOL lacks in common sense, access
numbers, and integrity, they make up for in disk space and shiny CDs! And they
make GREAT coasters!)

LOL!! Sounds fair to me too! Didn't I tell you NetFuzzers so the last time you
started slapping yore rulers around!!! It's the "I'm smarter than you"
syndrome that iritates people. Face it, there are going to be new folks coming
on here. Be a little more friendly or you're going to draw the ire of every one
of them that you pounce on. That ain't exactly the Cowboy Way, you know.

Yeah, you musta missed it, oh offending one! For shame! For shame!
It goes something like this...
USCode Title 103, Chapter 4, Paragraph 32, Subparagraph R, Yellow Sticky 34..
"... While posting ads for nekkid sites, chain letters, ads for 8.9-cent long
distance services, worthless products, and generally annoying junk email, etc.,
is MORE than welcome at alt.appalachian, it is expressly forbidden to go around
posting any tasteless photos of TREES or MOUNTAINS or RIVERS or other such vile
and hideous natural thangs and as they might take up 0.001% of the hard drives
around the world, which space is now generally reserved for Blackjack,
Solitare, Screensavers, Doom XXXIV, Zork CXII, Lara Does Mars LXIX, and other
vital programs without which the world would cease to exist as we know, and
Iraq will probably get bombed anyway since gas prices are down..."

Yeah, rake ALL of us appies over the coals for someone else's e-mail to ya.
By the way, who gives a rat's patoot whether its fair or not, we're having
way too much fun with it, right Guv??

Now look Chessy, I did the same dang thing the 1st time I came into this NG
and I got soundly "put in my place" for doing it. Yeah, it hurt my
feelings that I could summon such "aggression" from what seemed like a
friendly bunch o' people. Yep, my dignity took quite a tarnishin' from it
(poor, poor pitiful me!) but LOOK! I survived and I'm still having fun and
all these people are still what I consider good friends (scarey, huh?). So
just simmer down, wipe the fevered sweat off'n yours and your girlfriends
brows and get over it. The quicker you do, the quicker you'll start
enjoying yourself (and us) here in alt.appy. Now, let's order pizza, pass
I'll have some pizza and a see-gar, but hold off on that whiney-voiced
HarMonica music until I've got something in my stomach, would you boys! LOL!

Too bad AOL doesn't offer a choice of sex or no sex related binary ngs.
If'n ya choose the "sex" option, you'd only get those binary ngs of the
sexual topics. If ya choose the "no sex" option, you'd get all the
other binary ngs! Bet a lot of parents would choose the "no sex"
option!
