You know, Bob, I'm getting a sense that maybe you don't like Sheldon.

:-)

Try reading the Bag o' salad thread, to see a whole different side of
him.

Mebbe so, but one side does not necessarily balance or legitimize the
other. Unacceptable behavior is still unacceptable, nonetheless.

Would you say that a doctor that saves lives in the hospital but
commits murder out on the street strikes a balance?

I'd duck if I were you, Wayne -- I suspect someone's about to lob
the "it's just Usenet" gambit your way...

I'm sure you're right, but I won't be responding to it. :-)

In all fairness, Sheldon has made the very rare postivie response or remark
to me on occasion, but so might a murderer on death row. There is almost
always a tiny slice of nice in the worst of people. That gives me neither
cause nor desire to embrace them.

There is absolutely nothing that anyone could do or say to sway my opinion.

There is no justification...period.

I *would* say that a doctor strikes a kind of cosmic balance in that case,
though it would be even more balanced if the doctor murdered those same
patients after they were released from the hospital.

But let me give you a more ludicrous example of "striking a balance."
Imagine someone who goes on a killing spree, then for each person he's
killed, he rapes women until they get pregnant: For every life taken,
there's a life created.

I think the whole "striking a balance" concept is feeble and fallacious when
it comes to defending Sheldon's behavior.

Precisely. There is no "balance".

Some of us are such good cooks we don't need no steenkin' recipes :o)

<lol> Yeah, I most often make up food as I go along...
Ths soup simmering on the stove right now is a perfect example. ;-)

It's basically a garlic chicken egg drop soup with tofu, but it ended up
more elaborate than I'd planned.

It smells wonderful but the flavors need to mellow a bit more so I'm
going to let it slow cook (simmer) for at least an hour, then taste it
again before adding the eggs and thickener (arrowroot powder).

Sounds good. It's a cool fall evening here, sounds like mac 'n cheese
weather. I love these autumn temps and cloudy skies, I grew heartily
sick of hot weather this past summer...

Now all I need is a sweet cuddly furry little [censored] to keep me company
;--p

Check your local animal shelter...... :-)
Lots of furry little pussies need rescuing!

Cheers!

Best advice!!! ;-)

If you can survive Sheldon's "trial by fire" that's all you need to
survive in the Big Bad World of Usenet!

Actually, there _are_ worse trolls than Sheldon.
He's a cuddly little teddy bear compared to some of them!

You are getting better Greg.
Keep trying.
Soon your writing will be 'as good' as your hero Sheldon's is.

Hey, I'm just havin' a bit 'o fun. And you?

Yup - without resorting to locker room language.

Ken.

<cough>
Thanks. ;-)
I nearly choked on my snack over that one...

Pandora, get yourself a decent newsreader and experience the zen of
killfiling. http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php

I use MT newswatcher.
The filters are a dream...... :-)

I rarely killfile authors, I generally just killfile subjects or
keywords.

That was my policy until a little while ago when I actually decided to
do this. The reason being I read this and a couple of other ngs for
enjoyment. I used to think that ignoring was enough Trolls & obnoxious
posters or nasty posters are no longer worth my time.

The problem is that the deliberate trolls often morph to evade killfiles.
Fortunately, MT sets up a new file in a matter of 2 seconds.

That helps!

The filters on Mozilla are pretty good. Easier to use than on Agent, I
think.

<snicker> I know what you mean... :-)
The trick is investigating an ongoing thread at just the right point
when you thought it was going to be boring. I've learnt that if a thread
seems to be going on forever, the subject has probably changed for the
better and the folks, as usual, don't change the subject line! <lol>

Right click... filter > author or subject. How hard is that?

I seem to recall having to then fill in the author's email address or
some such. At any rate, I like Mozilla fine.

Position your cursor over their email address in the header. Right
click then choose create filter. A filter window will pop up with the
email address already in it. Choose how you want the filter to behave
and you're finished. For a few you might need to attach a second filter
to the email filter but you can do that in the first filter window and
just put an additional one under the email one. This is likely as clear
as mud. It's easier to do than to explain. HTH
