I don't know about the rest of the rfc regulars but I'm about to killfile
the entire gmail domain. And it will only get worse since school is about
to let out for summer.

Because they'd rather make cooking shows that are meant for entertaining.
They're more profitable. It seems most people would rather watch that kind of
thing as they are eating their McDonald's takeout meal. A BigMac tastes better
that way. The true gourmets of the audience get Outback "take-away" meals
instead... they're a higher class of people! ;-)

I'll remember that, Jill. At work, I have no other access, and at
home, I have no time.

Try PBS. They have a whole slew of shows where they show you how to
cook.

Why don't they make people who pay attention in English class?

I only found two problems with that sentence—teach should have been
"teaches" and there is no question mark at the end. It's not really
that bad considering some of the posts I see on Usenet.

Hmm, one would think that it'd be at work where you'd have no time...
because you are supposed to work at work... probably the reason they
supply no access. hehe

Actually aside from a very minor tense problem (teachES - easily
attributable to a typo ommission) the poster's English is quite
intelligible, and the question quite valid. In fact it's your
sentence that's not well constructed and not very intelligible nor is
your question intelligent or valid.

Ginny, no offense. Let's just say when I was working I had NO time to
peruse newsgroups or even personal email, let alone post stuff to
newsgroups. In fact, our IT department blocked access to anything like ICQ
chat, AIM, Yahoo Messenger and ng access). Nothing against you personally;
simply a fact. They are, after all, company computers.

If you don't have time at home I *sincerely* hope this means you have a
great quality life at home with your family! This isn't against *you*; it's
against the idiots posting about Britney Spears' boobs, and stupid questions
which equal "Does anyone have any recipes from Europe?" And trust me, Alice
Cooper is far too old to be singing about "School's Out For Summer". Old
rockers never die... they should sometimes fade away before their makeup
cracks.

My work does the same thing. I don't abuse the internet, in fact my
work blocks things (like google images) that I used for eduactional
purposes at work. I know how to get around that one, but I still am
offended that I am put in the same category as middle and high school
students.

I have very few filters set up, so maybe giganews does a good job at
filtering out "crap" after all.

People at work have breaks, lunch time and time after work (if they
are trying to avoid the rush hour) to diddle around on the internet.
Personally, I can get google groups at work.... and they are not as
interesting as they are when I'm at home using Agent as a news reader.
I can't stand the Google interface, so I use it when I'm either
waiting to be picked up from work or replying (at home) to a thread
I've deleted all previous posts to.

Google groups should not exist as an "alternative news reader". It
should only exist in the same way DejaNews did.. for research
purposes.

I never said I blocked Google GROUPS. I said I blocked gmail.com as a
domain. That's where the "look at Britney's Boobs!" stuff is coming from,
among other things. I have some nice boobs right in front of me if I care
to look at boobs. Who gives a rats ass about Britney or Paris or any of
those other ho's? That's what I'm blocking, not google posts.

How many subject lines does it take to make a killfile? Britney? Boobs?
It's the new AOL. The new WebTV. So much easier for now to get rid of
gmail.com, then wait until school is back in and let it go again.

You have my personal address, but I post using gmail as the return.
How will you block gmail.com without blocking me too?

Frankly, I get so little of that stuff, I barely notice it. I have 22
specific filters (many should be deleted, I just looked) and NONE of
them are for Britany or Boobs. Penis, yes... boobs, no. My criteria
is - if it doesn't reappear soon after the original post (I'll give it
24 hr to die a natural death), it's not worth my time to filter it.

Actually, as far as Usenet is concerned, Google Groups is the new AOL --
partly because when AOL dumped Usenet they advised their subscribers to
move to Google Groups. I say "partly" because surely not all the Google
Gropers came from AOL.

I don't have a problem with people using Google Groups to post. It's the
myriad of kiddies who have discovered @gmail.com addresses that are creating
lots of the ignorant cross-postings regarding race, sexuality and just plain
idiotic posts akin the lines of the old "Anyone have any recipes from
Europe?" It's the new AOL, or the new generation of WebTV'rs. Summer
hasn't started and I'm already tired of them

Your return address doesn't matter, just the original posting address.
@gmail.com.

.

So, if I go to google groups to look up a deleted thread (like the
artichoke heart one) and post from there, I am not only using my gmail
return address - I am posting from google groups, which means you've
effectively blocked me.

I'm sure I'm not the only regular who posts from google groups on
occasion.

I read rfc daily, but I'm still not understanding why anyone would
find it necessary to block an entire domain. I didn't participate in
all the chest beating when AOL and WebTV were unleashed on the masses
either. There was a learning curve for some, but mostly the ones who
tried to be jerks left due to being ignored. This group has so much
legitimate traffic they get lost in the crowd.... unless someone
hyper-focuses on them. Frankly, I hadn't even noticed anything until
you complained. When I see a subject line that's remotely teenybopper
titillating, I delete it unread. It's easy enough to do in one
keystroke.

Whatever! I get tired of the teenybopper threads. I'll resinstate the
domain after things settle down. I did the same thing with AOL and WebTV
for a while.

Aw, what else should I be doing on breaks? <g> I don't like watching
poker games, talking about fishing, boats, or lawns, or watching
