ISP-hosted newsgroups are so 1985. Welcome to 2006.

I did conduct a basic search earlier, but unfortunately you seem to
have subscribed to all of them. I was talking about *quality* lists,
not ones full of trolls.

That's a very windy way of saying, "I didn't get it".

p.s. how long until you subscribe here under a third email address?

If that is the case, why are you making such a big deal about an
insignificant outfit like Erath being taken over anyhow?

Um David, wineries are buildings; viticulturalists grow grapes - so that
winemakers can make wine.

Wineries do not grow grapes - unless you have some really clever and mobile
wineries in Oregon.

And isn't the global wine industry so grateful that you did!

Perhaps you could list your credentials that you can analyse the global wine
industry with such authority.

So far YOUR thread has run to 80 odd posts (with you making nearly
alf!!! - I suppose because it is YOUR thread!!!!!)

And I have seen nothing whatsoever which indicates that your interest and or
experience gives any indication that you are a global authority.

So much for your lovely kill-file. Guess that was just another idle
threat too, eh?

You lost me on this one. I'm not a computer whiz and have no desire to
become one. All I know is that I download a list of NG's from my ISP's
news server and then select the ones I want to subscribe to. If
there's a better way to do things, I'm willing to listen, but I'm
pretty satisfied with how I do things now.

Again, you lost me. I know next to nothing about the nitty-gritty of
NG's, particularly the ways in which they can be manipulated,
searched, mined, etc. Nor do have any desire to educate myself on such
a topic. I AM amused that you seemed to have spent a fair amount of
time investigating me. Have you found out anything about me that I
have not already made known in this thread?

OK. Point conceded. I didn't get it.

Maybe when I get a third computer (not likely anytime soon) and manage
to keep straight which one I'm using for which purpose at any given
time.

At this point, this discussion has gotten so far OT that, out of
respect for the other windbags (again, your term, not mine) here, I'm
going to take leave of this thread.

Mike, that is hilarious. Thanks for the laugh.
