OT postings & kill files
 

I don;t wish to patronize, but I wanted to share a 'problem', and suggest a
solution.

Some on this group recently advised me to change my newsreader to one that
has a kill file. I did - and I am forever grateful. Whenever I see one of
'those' posts (you know the ones I'm referring to), I put that sender into
the kill file. It has helped. I was doing that yesterday when I caught my
self ALMOST kill filing one of our regulars on this board, whose posts I
would regret blocking.

The point - the suggestion - is; I think those of us who are actice
participants on the winemaking forum should avoid responding to any of those
obnoxious OT posts - lest we get 'kill-filed" by othershere inadvertently.

Just my $.02 ... hope everyone is avoiding the heat. Heat here is terrible -
have the vineyard drip lines running for an hour EVERY day ...

I'm sorry, but I want to be sure I've understood you correctly. You
have switched from another newsreader _to_ Outlook Express?


Cheers,
Ken
