I block all articles from or related to Chung (and many other idiotic

has a similar function.

He's been asked to many times before (by me, for one). I've just set up a
news rule in OE to delete anything with the word "Chung" in the subject.
I'd hate to have to killfile Bob (this one) as he sometimes offers helpful
cooking advice. But if this doesn't work I'll resort to doing so. (sigh)

I don't understand why he keeps doing that. You expect it from trolls, not
from a regular group member. I don't even understand why he's 'debating'
with the troll.

For some people, debating is a mental sport. My dad was the King.

More to the point, why does "a regular group member" do something that
he *knows* p*sses us all off? I have laboriously been kf'ing every
single responder to Bob (this one). It doesn't do any good to only kf
Bob this one), b/c his responders will show up like army ants after a
picnic. I often kf entire threads when it becomes apparent that Bob
(this one) is at it again along with his merry band of whack jobs, but
am annoyed at having to edit "my" own newsgroup! <grumble, grumble>

I kill entire threads for the same reason you do. I respect Bob's culinary
expertise, but like many others here, am considering adding him to the bozo
bin. I hate to do that. I generally have foods and topics in there.
Maybe Chung needs some company.

Geeze... take a few days off and come back to cross-post mania again...

I'm with the trollops on this one. ;-) Bob (this one) has surprised
me. I didn't always agree with his food related posts but at least
they were on topic. I think maybe his meds ran out?

I kill the threads but he's about ready to enter the bottomless pit.

I know! What did we ever do to him that he's ruining the newsgroup?

Exactly. I've taken to reading only what I want to and marking the rest
read. Normally I can just ignore that crap. He's got the trolls all in a
tither, they hooked a live one.

As consistent as the Chung posts are, at least they are
clearly Chung - which makes it very easy to delete entire
threads w/o reading.

What? It's mostly things that he has stolen or plagerized. Bob (that
one) has even admitted to impersonating a published author at a book
signing.

Now don't ask me to point out specific posts. I'm don't care enough to
Google for them. And IIRC in the post about impersonating an author he was
drunk as a skunk and wasn't he with or had been with Justin Wilson drinking
"lemonade" at the time? I don't remember but it was a fun read. Much more
fun than this Chung crap.

Dear BOB:

I'd appreciate it if you'd take a moment to defecate into your hat and
pull it down over your ears. You seem to have me confused with Sheldon
who has quoted with and without attribution rather often.

Yes. Justin was in town for a book signing and I had him on my radio
program where we began the day with a most tasty lemonade (I thought).
Afterward we went to the Costco store where he was to sign books. I
sat with him and continued drinking his "Thomas Justin Collinses"
(equal parts CountryTime lemonade and gin) as we had been at the
station. A woman asked me if I was "somebody" and he reached over and
tapped a book by John Grisham. She gushed about how much she loved
"my" books and said that this was the only one she didn't have and on
and on...

He picked up the book and told me to stop being so bashful and just go
ahead and sign the book for the nice lady. So I did. As the afternoon
wore on, he tapped several other books, and I think I was Dean Koontz
for a while, too. In addition to some others I'd never heard of.
Someone drove me home. Justin's "assistant" drove him somewhere. She
came to the radio station carrying two coolers with CountryTime logos
on them. Justin asked me how I liked her jugs. Guy was 83 at the time,
freshly thrown out of his house because his wife caught him messing
around (or so he said).

<lol> Too funny... ;-)

Do you look like a bood author or something?
Sounds like my kind of an afternoon...

Changing the subject here,

Pastorio, what do you think of the foreman grill?

I've been using it more and more frequently lately, but the damned thing
is too small! I'd like to be able to grill more than one little piece of
meat at a time, and I'd also like to try grilling sliced squash in it at
the same time. Being able to cook an entire meal on it at once would be
handy!

I've recently discovered just how _wonderful_ cooking fish in it is!
Catfish and salmon specifically. I just put a little salt free lemon
pepper and dried dill on top and grill it that way. No more corn meal
coating. <G>

I'd like to get a larger grill. Which one would you recommend in a
reasonable price range, say, $100.00?

Or have you ever used one of these?

Thanks!
Kat

I remember when you first posted that story. It was funny
then and it's still funny now. Justin was a character,
wasn't he? His show was appointment TV for me!

Is it just me, or has Pastorio completely danced around the actual

Good idea. I have, until recently, had Bob in my "watch" file because of his
knowledgeable posts and great writing. I don't want to killfile him over this,
but it *is* tempting.

Most people in my killfile are there because of an inability/refusal to trim
their posts, or for whining about their rights to top-post. Since these people
are unlikely to educate themselves or learn manners, they'll stay there.

That said, there are exceptions. When Bob was on his Sheldon-bashing jag, he
went into the killfile for a week or two. When un-killfiled, he was still at
it, so back he went for awhile. I guess what we need is a smart killfile that
tells us when this crap stops.

It's sometimes better to eliminate posts by topic content than by poster,
as the poster might write on many different levels, some of which you'd
want to read.

Or, with some of the more sophisticated readers, kill by crossposts. Even
limiting RFC to only two crossposts eliminates a lot of the crap,

That's the best way. I'd gotten set with Xananews for that reason, then
the cumpnee news server broke, so here I am using Google. No filtering
at all. Blech.

Xnews also has this capability and I also use it, in addition to the score
file.

SPAM and other undesirable posts are not always cross-posted.

That's what I do. I have Chung KFed, but when I see one of his posts being
quoted or referred to, I plonk the whole thread.

I agree 100% Jill! However, I guess my tolerance level is lower than
yours 'cause I killfiled Bob (this one) earlier today. I set the
filter to expire in 30 days so, we'll see what that brings. If, at
