It is just after Christmas, new computer (probably first one), and whamo, a
new group moderator/expert on group politics, I'm seeing it in several
groups.

Same thing happens early summer, schools let out and all hell breaks loose
in some groups, year, after year.....

Tom Watson may be a number of things, but he is no spammer. He has
contributed to this newsgroup for a number of years. I may not agree with
a number of his views or outlook, but he is a woodworker and has provided
valuable information to users on this newsgroup on numerous occasions.
Pinewood derby is one of his pet projects and it certainly is on topic for
rec.WOODWORKING (wood, pine, get it?0

Just the kind of answer I expected. No substance, single-minded
[mis]-focus.

Well, as others have said:

<plonk>

Once in a while, public plonking is well-deserved; it serves as a notice
to the plonkee that maybe he/she/it is not playing well with others and may
someday come to the realization that there are better ways to communicate.
Kind of the Usenet equivalent of shaking the dust from one's sandals and

Just a minot quibble, Charlie. (Hey... you said you >>love<< them !)

Google has the oldest *plonk* software around. You. If it looks like
shit, it reads like shit, the actual post is shit, and you know where
it came from...

Ta da!

It's a good post to skip. No configs for me. Most of us here have
been around this as well as countless other newsgroups, forums, etc.
It's just plain easier to me (YMMV) to flat ignore the idiots
altogether. I ofter scan long threads to see who is participating
before I even read them.

Long tangle threads on the poster opinion of the minutae contained in
their interpretation of the constitution leave me along about reaponse
#50.

I go to the next subject.

I visualize a proper plonk to include fanned-out fingers a la MAD

I'd hope the "plonk" would act as a reminder to stop feeding the trolls

Pretty much of anyone who is afraid to read something
they don't agree with, and feels the need to demonstrate
the histrionics of the public plonk. It's the NG equiv

And the plonk-ER just HAS to make a big,
histrionic, public display about who they
personally think is "not worthy". Obviously
seeking the approval of others. Obviously
not enough of a man to stand on his own
two feet and simply plonk the guy. He wants
everybody to know that he's not afraid to be afraid.

It may serve as notice that ONE particular
reader is threatened by the plonkee. But the
plonk-er hardly speaks for the hundreds or
thousands of other readers. They're simply
trying to make their dick just a mm longer.

Now, there's some really relevant info; something any idiot could (and
one did) count up. So I guess you've only been here this month then,
eh? That's interesting; so has your spam.

You should count up the BW you and your other spammer friends have
wasted.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem. So far
you've only been a wart on the ass of progress and have nothing to do

I presume you'll be making the same criticism of 'GarageWoodworks', who also
publicly plonked Twerp at the same time for the same reason...

Your sig is malformed. It should be preceded by two hyphens, a blank, and a

I suggest we pour a little water on Tom's drag to try to stop it from
overheating and melting the 20# test.


I would be the courteous thing to do. :~)

On a different "on topic" subject, I know you have the Rotex and I am really
wanting to get the Rotex 125 to help with dust control and to replace my 18
year old right angle PC. Unfortunately that would only correct half of the
problem . I also have a PC Sped Bloc that puts out a cloud all on its own.
Do you use any of the other Festool sanders such as the smaller finish
sanders?
Lastly, do you use Festool sand paper?

Nah, I think Lumpy wound up doing that after hanging around with Eddie
Haskell; he wound up not amounting to much. Eddie of course did well
because he was a trust-fund kid (Lumpy wasn't). Wally and the Beave see
Lumpy on weekends that they go fishing; Ward and June made sure they were
successful, stayed in school and got good jobs.

Oh great wise one, what is he spamming? What is he selling?

Anybody who knows anything about Tom Watson knows that he USED to own a
shop. Which he shut down and is now working for someone else.

And he does spend time with us each year talking about his son's pinewood
derby cars.

If you don't know what a pinewood derby car is, it is a massive communist
conspiracy.

One thing it has shown is the number of people who read spams. It's
high in this group. That's a bad sign. There is absolutely nothing in
any spam that bears reading unless the reader is planning to use
information it may contain based on the source code of the spam. Only
suckers and desparate people read spam seriously and they are the ones
who provide the spammer wtih his paycheck. Just reading spam for the
sake of reading it is just plain stupid. But it seems to be done very
often in this group.

If you think "plonk" is a threat, you're as wrong as you are stupid for
using it. I could not care less whether you read my posts of not - you
are irrelevant. If you're not smart enough to look at a post and decide
it's not worth reading for you, then you probably also read spams
regularly. You will be one of the reasons servers decide to drop the
group because of the excess traffic spams and readers such as yourself
create by reading them.
>

No, I won't use a new post as my current first two posts were on target
and meaningful. Since then I have entertained myself by simply
responding in kind to those who bothered to read spam and were upset to
see someone has the guts to do something about it. You're the kind who
will sit around and wait for things like the Can-Spam Act to fix
everything for you; 'snot gonna happen. Had you not read the spams, you
would have had no hint of anything that was in the thread. But you did
click, didn't you? That was not only senseless to do, but stupid also.

It's been in interesting social sciences demo here watching the opinions
of those who read spam and the silence from those who know better and at
least don't admit it, or actually never bothered to click on anything
that looks like spam.

I probably should apologize for "using" the group as I did/am, but from
the lack of displayed intelligence I see, it's not worth the effort and
would be on no value. Not being a follower, I will post anywhere I
please and here at least the knowledge that some of the group of
spammers and mongers won't be assessing respnses with the stupid
misinformation they've presented over the last about 5 months here.
Newsgroups get a reputation for accepting spam without consequence, and
this group now has that reputation. It's precisely why I chose this
group to post some of my reports in.

Just as you do personally, you don't really know if people in this group are
reading the spam or clicking on as you are doing.

Plonk is not a threat by any means. Simply a warning that if you ever want
to get an answer to a question that you may post, you need to be seen.

The rest of what you have to say is a load.

So I take it that Spam is a large source of your entertainment. With out

What ever you think and works for you. We really do not need your help, you
are not showing us any thing that we do not already know. For most of us,
spammers are usually a short term and or one time nuisance. Then there is
the troll that is far worse, like a disruptive kindergartner that society
eventually shuns. You seem to be filling that position.

May I suggest that you either contribute or do us all a favor and go away.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt a little bit longer and then for me
you will disappear if you are of no value to the group.

You sure as hell aren't providing anything but sturm und drang. You
might announce who you REALLY are, if you're such an all-fired
expert...and then show some proof of your expertise, something Tom
Watson has done time and again for years. So far, from you, all we've

Google doesn't ahve a plonker, but being afraid to read somethign I
disagree with has never been one of my faults. I love a good
disagreement. But there is an old New York saying, "Money talks,
bullshit walks." Neither you nor your pal are saying anything, and
you're both hoofing it.

Never saw the 'noobs' reply until the furor. Must've plonked him a long
time ago, although I don't remember the reason, or even having plonked him.
Based on this post alone, I remain happy in my decision.

It's not a matter of being "afraid", it's a matter of deciding not to

If you're going to be confrontational about a suggestion that you

More than half of your nine posts to this newsgroup have been

Amen to that, John. Essentially what

I'll take a piece of that. 103 posts since the 23 December 2007
incarnation of the name makes you one of the newest of the new.

Now if you are someone else who really has been around longer than
Leon (which I doubt), pony up your longtime nom de wreck and let's
just see.

By the way, the dozen posts you've made today either alerting we poor,
ignorant, veteran wreckers as to what spam is (I think we've had a
pretty good handle on that for a long time) or laming back at people
pointing out your deficiencies (which are legion), is frankly, worse
than the spam. They certainly waste just as much bandwidth.

Well, this is very interesting.

A thread that started with a blank post (except for the sig) has gone
on for almost forty replies.

Of course, this is mostly due to the Trollbitch, Twayne, or, "The
Trollbitch formerly known as Pop", without whose assistance this
thread would have died an early and deserved death.

TrollbitchTwayne has been busy, posting in 124 different groups,
usually with the same level of knowledge, insight and intellect he
has demonstrated here.

It's too bad our Trollbitch filters don't have an olfactory component.
Guys like TrollbitchTwaynePop would never get by them.

What's a "dweb?" Do you mean dweeb, by any chance?

You should probably check around for the many contributions Tom Watson
has made to this group. He is your intellectual superior, and that of
almost everyone here. He is certainly your woodworking superior, even
in retirement.

You should get down on your knees and beg foregiveness for your
ignorance.

I'll bet I've been here longer than you have. You don't ID a spammer by
