Logging on to this group these days is a bit like lifting a rock or
finding a long-overlooked piece of 'leftover' in the back of the
fridge.

Weird life forms.

Running down today's topics reminds me of the Gary Larson ('Farside')
cartoon captioned: 'How nature says, "Do not touch". The cartoon
contained a rattlesnake, a blow fish, an angry cat and an obese human
wearing a Napoleon hat, a child's lifesaver toy and armed with what
looks like a recoilless rifle.

Well at least, following the Larson rule, you are unlikely look at
their posts! But we could do without the ordure cluttering our group
and the internet.

LOL - my killfile only contains about 20 names (rising) and that has cut the
crap by a huge margin. As long as I add them as fast as they invent them
it's no big deal and it does make the group much more readable. The only
times that I see posts from weird life forms is when somebody not yet added
posts a response to some piffle that would otherwise have been filtered
out - most serious posters don't bother any more. I have tried XNews to
filter on cross-posting but I prefer the OE interface (habit probably) so
now I just accept the dregs that come through as entertainment available at
the turn of a rock. It still amazes me that some individuals have so much
time on their hands that they can keep on generating apparently endless
streams of detritus - if only that energy could be harnessed to some good
end....

I suppose that without the leftovers in the fridge, Penicillin might never
have been invented ;-)

Those weird life forms are probably you since most fridge have such
fine surface that they act as mirror !

In any case your comments define you both as antipodean turdcads of the
worse kind ... the gutless ones

.... go back into my killfile now little beasts
