How about never replying publicly to a troll so people like me don't have to
read troll trash?

But that's the problem, Jeff; regardless of what the people in this forum do,
there'll be people from outside this group who will post - so you have to kf
the thread. That works until someone changes the subject line and you start
all over again. One recent example was the posting about "not Earth, but
another planet" or something. Another poster changed the subject line to "why
do I get the felling this is a troll".


I just checked, it takes two clicks of the mouse to skip past threads
you're not interested in. Two clicks is one second. You guys are
obsessing over what exactly? The click or two annoyance, or
is it aesthetics? Please tell everyone just how petty you are?

Personally, I find these threads about killfiling to be embarassing as
it shows everyone how childish the people here are.

People like you and OM drive people away from these ngs.
Please grow up. Or at least face the simple reality that fillfiling
means you'll never know you're being criticized and being made
to look like a fool. Which becomes very easy when you don't
defend yourself.

Besides, everyone knows you read the posts anyways.

you for your consideration for the rest of us, Alan. It *is*

would top it is if "jonathan" offs himself in a most painful way.

See? Told you he was okay.
Considering how "jonathan" was so heavy into some sort of Chinese

You're very welcome.

You forgot, I found God, Nature and all that stuff through the latest
mathematics.
I am the most contented person alive.

I make you this promise, I will go away when the next administration
cancels the "Vision". Something about our national science goal being
nothing more than a gold plated safari for the elite, while the world
is burning, strikes me as just plain wrong.

I'm not going away until NASA becomes relevant again.
Oh, and when they finally find life on Mars, that too.
Once those two things happen, then I'll go away.


Get used to me, as annoying as I can be, I mean well.

I heard that. That tragedy has taken the steam out of the anti Olympic
movement. Somehow for a couple of years I've had the feeling
that Mother Nature would play a role in whether the communists
survive the Olympics. I thought it would be the incredible pollution
in Beijing might be the last straw, provided the winds were just
right to choke the city. But maybe not, maybe this earthquake
will somehow play a key role.

Or maybe the hurricane in Burma, and the dictatorship letting the people
starve to protect their own asses has proved a point
about the 'legitimacy' of dictatorships.

I don't know, but I plan to keep on trying.

Or indeed vice versa.

Can additional groups be added to the sci.space hierachy?

Sure. It's a well defined process. But do you really think that will
solve the problem?

It may not solve it, but it will aleviate it.

It will neither solve it nor alleviate it. The denizens of
sci.space.* are not well known for the ability to post messages into
the appropriate groups - rather they routinely post wherever they hell
the feel like.

Was that last bit supposed to mean something? Are the 'they' and the
'the' reversed, maybe?

Actually, I'm more curious as to why you never acknowledged my
correction of your claim that the Orbiter never landed on the lakebed,
only on the paved runway, at Edwards AFB.

Yes, they got reversed, poor editing.

I did send one out. The Great Usenet Ghoul gets another one...
