Almost all of mine and most of the others threads are marked OT, off
topic. Anyone can make a filter so they don't see off-topic posts. Even
when they are not marked OT, people can quickly see when they are off
topic.
Usenet use is decreasing and there aren't enough home repair posts to
keep the ng interesting.
I agree. I prefer most any traffic to a dead group which the Android group I
monitor is much of the time.
Please note that my citicism is *not* about off-topic posts, but about
*crossposting* to totally unrelated groups.

net-cop.

Exactly *which* part of the "*AND*" bit did you miss / not understand!?
Sure, a 'cop' *might* 'correct' and commend in the same exchange, but
that's not very likely, is it!?
But I get it, any time anyone says something 'negative' and something
positive, (s)he's a 'cop'.
From now on, only positive feedback on these groups or you'll face the
wrath of AJL, or worse, his 'humour'.
I think were done. Agreed? I'm a net-cop. You act like a jerk. News at
eleven.

micky, I'll drop this, because there's just no point.
As I've said, you're an OK guy. Because you're an OK guy, I have
helped you on several occasions and got the thanks for that.
Continuing this discussion would only lead to more aggravation,
because we're on totally different pages and are only get more apart
instead of closer.
See you.
Alt.home.repair does not count because we have a well-established
practice of posting non-political stuff like what I post.

Who agreed to that? I've been reading alt.home.repair for ages and never
came across such an agreement or discussion to pollute that newsgroup.
In fact, for a long time it was one of the few groups that mostly stuck
to home repair topics.
However, I've decided to filter you specifically from a.h.r since you've
made it clear that your posts will deliberately add noise.

I post on topic as well, a substantial percentage of new on-topic
threads. And I mark the off-topic threads I start as OT. So you only
have to filter on that.

I still see you on newsgroups where you post appropriately. I just felt

I started posting in a.c.f in 1998, even before you, John Corliss and
the notorious BearBottoms were a thing. I changed my handle to kelown
about 2 years ago due to a malicious spoofer using my old handle.

So what were you called before?
I changed my handle one or more times, iirc something to do with getting
a different computer and not remembering how to make it like the
previous one. I know I was mm for a while, and before that I don't
remember what I was. Sometimes when I'm searching the web I come across someone with the same questions or opinions I have. That's very
pleasing but after a while, I realize I'm reading my own post.

BTW, I assume the same goes for 'T' - i.e. two different T's, or do

I have seen the other but I don't think I've checked the T's to see if
they are the same. I mean AHR's T.

IIRC, I've had 3 handles but I don't quite remember the first one (that
I used the longest). I switched to "M.L." after getting a new computer.
I kept that handle until someone started impersonating it (impersonated
other posters too). So I changed to my current handle.
