Google Groups and Gmail Accounts
After some "soul searching" I finally decided to filter both Google Groups
and Gmail Accounts. With the volume of spam and generally unwanted posts in rfc and other newsgroups, it has become just too unwieldly to ignore or bypass posts from either. I apologize to those posters to rfc who legimately post using Gmail. I had been posting listing a Gmail account, but several folks here asked that I change it to something else so that they would miss my posts. I did so a while back. Probably not a bad idea for others. -- Wayne Boatwright ------------------------------------------- Monday, 03(III)/24(XXIV)/08(MMVIII) ------------------------------------------- Today is: Easter Monday (Canada) Countdown till Memorial Day 8wks 6dys 5hrs 55mins ------------------------------------------- A closed mind gathers no intelligence ------------------------------------------- |

I've stopped reading/posting to rfc because of the spam and ofttimes ugly postings. One day it might return to on topic and polite discussions about food and cooking......not holding my breath. Kind regards though to you and the other ' goodguys'. (I'm busy quilting, travelling and appreciating life, friends and cats!) Bronwyn Oz |

I killfile spam posts by email address, individually. It is as satisfying as weeding the garden can be.

I've thought of you often and wondered what you've been up to. It's a shame that some of the "goings on" in rfc have caused some of the good and long time posters to leave the group, but I do understand. It seems to be somewhat cyclical, though, so you might pop back in again from time to time to check on the "temperature" around here. I'm glad to know that you're busy with things that you enjoy, Life is too precious to squander it on things that you dont.

Huh? That was NOTHING compared to what I'm really capable of. I read that as a, "You all suck and I'm fine without most of you anyway. Neener, neener, neener."

Probably not a bad idea for others. And absolutely certainly impossible for some others. I used Google Groups for months because my ISP does not offer email addresses/accounts nor news. Until I could get U of Berlin to accept a payment mode I had no choice. I agree that the spam is irritating, but what I think is that if you are going to put everyone using those various addresses and services on ignore you should just do it and not announce it. Announcing it does nothing but increase the frustration for those helpless to change. And frankly the advice each of you tacks on the end of the announcement is a bit clueless and superior sounding. |

There tends to be two, maybe three email addresses a day, tops. So I do six clicks, no spam for the rest of the day. Yeah, I know, OE thucks and all that, but I like having my mail and news together. It works for me. (I have tried T-bird, Free Agent, Gravity and some others. Of them, I liked Gravity but not as much as OE. |
