Is that like the British definition of "sunshine"? :-)

I wish I had a nickel for every time you've posted to remind us you've
killfiled the Maxons... :)

OM, each Maxson post seems to generate five from you (I figure you
reply once to each Maxson post, and then get into a one or two-post
exchange with others who respond to either the Maxsons or to you).
Killfiling the Maxsons thus reduces the noise level by only 20%, at
most. After what? six or seven years? I'm now placing you in my own
killfile for a couple of weeks just to see what happens.

Hmm... Let me work the numbers a little bit:
Case 1
1 Maxson post
1 OM reply to Maxson
1 reply to the Maxson post by "Other"
1 OM response to Other, telling him to killfile Maxson
So, killfiling Maxson, alone, cuts the noise by 25%; killfiling OM
cuts it by a further 50%.
Case 2 (OM really does have Maxson killfiled and can't respond
directly)
1 Maxson Post
1 "Other" reply
1 OM response to Other
Killfiling Maxson and OM cuts the noise by ~33%, each.
Case 3 (OM again has Maxson killfiled)
1 Maxson post
2 Other replies
2 OM responses to Other
Here, killfiling Maxson will reduce the noise by 20%, but killfiling
OM, AND OM ALONE, would reduce the noise by 40%.
So, by my back-of-the-envelope calculations, OM is solely responsible
for anywhere between 33% and 50% of all noise generated by a single
Maxson post. What's more, OM's percentage rises considerably for
those of us who already have Maxson filtered. In *this* case, OM's
numbers are ~66%, 50% and 50%, respectively, while Maxson is 0%.
So, what would make the most sense by the numbers?

OM getting a fscking clue and realizing his flamethrower tactics don't do
squat? No, that's being nice. The flamethrower is an obvious and
demonstrable 50,000 watt PA. That sure as **** ain't part of the solution.
