I've always stuck mostly to cooking with a few tagents here and
there. But even my quips (and worse) are all cooking related - aor
at least start out that way. You won't see me arguing Rogaine or
hair implants.

More irony from the male bitch of RFC.

Calling my post drunken didn't help set the tone for your ironic
post. Andy, OTOH, really *is* drunk. And you folks are just
encouraging him to drink even more.

So back to being OT :-)

What was your favorite drink over the holidays?

I decided to quit drinking alcohol all together a few weeks ago, so mine
is a bit tame. Earl Gray tea with honey & lemon.

Hey, Steve, we all decided to chip in so as to buy you a blow job, hopefully
that'll make you LESS cranky...

Okay, folks, Steve's *already*won the tin foil hat on this one but here is
the poll question:

Who would you rather be:

- Steve the Spinster Grounch

- Andy the L'il Happy - Go - Lucky Leprechaun

i think it can be done, but the overhead is pretty big, since the software
would have to examine every word of every post until it hit something
verboten.

Messing with bittorrent is also an excellent way to pick up viri and
trojans. Aside from movies, a wide array of software is also available via
bittorent. Or so I hear.

Yes, the overhead could be huge.

Really, Blake, I have always found older men sexy. As I get older, this
poses a real problem. I mean, I still want them with teeth and such, you

Man, now we're going to need the Professor's Way Back Machine. I know
I've used Outlook Express and Google <shudder> XNews and, IIRC,
something called Giganews (?). There are a lot out there, I suppose,
but I've gotten comfortable with Agent and its one "blind spot" isn't
that big a deal for me.

GG is a web gateway used with a web browser, not a news client.

Giganews is a news server, not a news client.

In summary, you've tried fewer news clients than I currently have
installed.
