Brian, I've seen this service in the past. Do you know how reliable it

is?

I use it, it's a lot better than my ISP's, that's for sure...

It does drop posts pretty quick, but if you have a chance to check every few days at least, you
don't miss a thing. I've been using it for a year now, and it's workin'.... 🙂

Hey! Thanks for taking the time to answer.

Michael

That's what I'm running now as well. Since they put up new servers it's not too bad.

Hi all,

I'll been reading this group regularly for the past 6 months in the Google archives, and it seems
like a fantastic group of people and I wanted to say hello.

The archives, though, left me wondering if it were "safe" to join. In the archives, I saw over and
over again that there was a rude, half-educated prat who used the name of PENMART01. His only
contributions were copying and pasting other people's work, which has little value, and viciously
attacking everyone else on the list with no provocation. Over and over again in the archives, I
saw this prat go out of his way to insult, hurt, belittle and abuse other people for no reason. I
didn't see any recent postings in the archives from him; has he gone away? Are the waters safe?

Randal Oulton

Are you using a different version of Google than I?

There are *NO* posts with "PENMART01" as tha author, and the last post with "PENMART" as author is
May 15, 1996.

Remember, Google is your friend, but you *do* have to use it.

I think this guy's a troll, and I'll tell you why. Sheldon's posts are not archived in Google.

How would he know about Sheldon if the only read RFC from "archives"? Is there another archive
besides Google?

Good point, and I just checked, see my response to Randy down below...

Dinner tonight is burgers on the grill, twice fried fries, sauteed mushrooms and onions. Oh and
steamed broccoli which I found on sale.

okie-dokie! ;-)

I had a house full of women doing crafts tonight. Threw myself together some steak, eggs, and
homefries. I'd forgotten that breakfast for dinner is actually pretty good!

Michael,

Tallulah was a first cousin of my father. The rare few times I had the opportunity to be in private
company with her and family, it was really a hoot!

I also think he's trolling. But to answer your rhetorical question, stupid people often quote
Sheldon's obscene or abusive messages in totality when they reply, and the reply gets archived
in google.

While I don't think too many people will disagree with you about PENMART, don't you find it a
little ironic that you come in wanting to be assured that it is "safe" and then turn right around
and attack someone?

Prat? Must be short for "immature". I'm not familiar with it being used as a noun, though, so "prat"
could mean "prattle" to the rest of us.

Prattle <aka: BABBLE>: to utter or make meaningless sounds suggestive of the chatter of (very
small) children.

It really is a small world, Terry. My father's family was originally from Cullman County which I
believe is adjacent to Winston County. They later moved to Birmingham then, later still, moved on to
NE Mississippi. The senator was quite a figure in AL in his day. Many local stories.

Exercise your killfile and you need never see a posting by him.

Learn how to use your Killfile and jump in. The group has a lot of pretty good ideas and even some
recipes. A word of warning however, if you get insulted easily, skip this one.
