Yeah but if he picked up the AK the cops would likely put us out of our misery. -- To find that place where the rats don't race and the phones don't ring at all. If once, you've slept on an island.

Mostly he's just here rather than on a street corner, standing on a packing crate, wearing a mostly misspelled sandwich board. And shouting at passing traffic.

It takes a nanosecond to figure out it's him. I'd rather not see them at all.

Never mind. ;P ) You seem to think I am constantly updating them or something. That's not the case. If you filter on the right information, no matter how often he changes his nym, he still get flagged. In fact I can't remember how long ago it was since I updated them for doofus. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

If you pick the right header, he simply cannot avoid the filter. One reason to flag him instead of just killfiling him is to have fun watching him try to evade the filter... and fail. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.
