Actually, they completely don't.
But don't let simple facts interfere
with your dreams.

How 'bout we say that whether or not we post here is actually none of your
business? And as it happens, THIS discussion (which you started, repeatedly)
is off topic in almost every newsgroup. In the early days of Usenet (and AFAIK
it's still the case) special groups were set up for the discussion of what is
and isn't on-topic. This was done precisely so that other newsgroups wouldn't
get cluttered with arguments like this one. Find such a group, and go rant
there to your heart's content.

35mm is an arbitrary measurement, that's all you stupid ****. Now go away...

 

Please point to anything related to 35mm film that you've poste here,
asswipe.

 

I don't see that option with an updated Tbird on a PC.

Ah ha!
Normally I click the email to create a filter. Too bad they can't be moved.

35mm could also refer to a focal length. The newsgroup name doesn't
specify.

So, no 70mm lenses here!

 

My DSLR's remote is about 35mm long... my CF cards are about 35mm on the
long side... I guess they fit, under your interpretation.

 

No, you stupid shithead: you act as if "35mm" is just some disembodied
arbitrary *number*, when in fact it is a well known *term* that refers
(by implication, not necessarily explicitly) to a certain size of
*film*, used in both still and motion picture cameras. "34mm" or "36mm"
would qualify as such an arbitrary number. But when one says "35mm", one
is assumed to be referring to 35mm *film* by the vast majority of people.

"In 1964 Barry Goldwater declared: 'Elect me president, and I
will bomb the cities of Vietnam, defoliate the jungles, herd the
population into concentration camps and turn the country into a
wasteland.' But Lyndon Johnson said: 'No! No! No! Don't you dare do
that. Let ME do it.'"

- Characterization (paraphrased) of the 1964 Goldwater/Johnson
presidential race by Professor Irwin Corey, "The World's Foremost
Authority".

 

Thunderbird is rather annoying because adding an e-mail address or
subject words to the global filters takes several steps, unlike as in
outlook.

However global filtering a relatively small number of e-mail addresses
(in my case less than 100), and subject words, filters out (daily)
hundreds of useless, off-topic, and troll posts, in multiple groups. The
effort is well worth it (IMVAIO).

Do they take photos? No. So why are you bringing
in such an idiotic argument?

That much is blatantly clear.

Bullshit.

 

I want to see a post, right click the e-mail address, and add it to a
global filter that covers all newsgroups. You can do this in Outlook,
you can't do it in Thunderbird. In Thunderbird you can right click and
add e-mail addresses to the filter list only for the group you're
reading at the time, and adding global filters is more time consuming.
It's okay to filter by newsgroup, but I really don't want to have to
create filters in multiple groups for people like ""
(Rita Berkowitz) and "" (David Nebenzahl); these
alleged people need to be put out of service no matter which group they
troll in.

Another feature of Outlook is that you can do a "Run Now" on the filters
for Usenet, but you can't do this in Thunderbird (you can do it for
e-mail, but not for Usenet).

 

I use TB too, but it sure would be nice if they added a couple of
Outlook's news reader to TB.

Thanks! If I didn't get that reaction from you, I'd probably conclude that I
hadn't made my point.

Screw the Thunderturd/Lookout news filter features.
Killfiling is easy if you aim your news reader to a hamster server.
Hamster fetches from the news server and will K/F-score on ANYTHING found
in the headers/body, globally or locally, regardless of local newsreader
features.

To reply: newsgroup only, what's posted in ng stays in ng.

Some choose to swim in the potty bowl of nan-ae rather than flush it
down :0)

 

personally, I use Hamster if the s/n becomes too low. I can stick any
old filter/scorefile in and it will look for *anything* you want that
appears in the header (no matter where it is).

kill off all anonymous posts?

I don't have to use that here, as there's no point yet.

you're most welcome. I like to point
out where bad smells come from, rather
than let them waft around.
