Dave, the account is there, but Google is easier to use right now. Your
filters may be eating my posts.
I'm in one of those catch-up phases, too many things changing or going
wrong and a couple deaths in the family (elderly relatives--92 isn't
that bad an age to get to, especially healthy and active most of the
way)--and trying to change some article emphasis and.... Basically
little or not time to learn new things and change to new ISP (that WILL
happen in the next two or three months, though).

Well, I asked you for a source for a statement that appeared to
be a patent lie. I did not think you just made it up, rather I
thought you were being gullible. But you never responded.
What should I think now?

I set up a shell account with Usenet access for him on one of my servers,
but he hasn't connected to it this month. Charlie, you out there?

No problem, it's there when you need it. It'll physically move at
the end of next month so it may be down for a day or two, but it'll
come back up on a different IP.
I didn't notice that you hadn't been around, and I'm apparently not
filtering you ;)

Yup, sometimes life takes priority to online.

Well, they _can_ quote with context if they'd bother to select that
option. Google has been asked to make that the default behavior, but
here months later, we still see ...this...

Many/most people only display unread messages when reading Usenet.
If you include enough context to know what and who your response is
to, then it helps people who read your message to know what you're
talking about.

No, I think it's just a brain-dead decision on how to set a default.
They archive an insane amount of data; quoted text from Usenet posts
probably doesn't make a 1% difference in that.
He's Bush-bashing in the OT thread with regularity. You must be filtered.

Charlie appears to be posting via Google Groups. A while back it was
suggested to filter out google (such a broad filter is a poor choice in
my opinion, but everyone is entitled their opinion even if they are
wrong :) ) I think the troll filter set kills google (could be wrong
though). Perhaps he is filtered?

That seems to be it. I have the politics and the Google filters engaged.
Thanks, folks!

One can always tell the google posters - they carry on conversations with
themselves.

I just did a "find" on him in OE, he's made 168 posts since 1/20/05, 5 of
them on 3/20, 3/21.

Those on the cutting edge bleed a lot.
Maybe he retired.
All he did was complain about all the troubles about demoing machinery.
What a job!

Yeah, I asked him to quote something to get a sense of who
and what he was talking about but he doesn't seem to think
it necessary. C'est la vie, wot?
