Since we are all the same person to ''Sid'', every entry in his killfile is the same person. Indeed, every post not by ''Sid'' is made by the same person! Don't ask me why I'm following up to myself; it'd just confuse me. --keith -- kkeller-usenet(a)wombat.san-francisco.ca.us (try just my userid to email me) AOLSFAQ=http://www.therockgarden.ca/aolsfaq.txt see X- headers for PGP signature information

I/we all know that there is only one person who has nothing better to do than haunt the same newsgroups as Sid, posting under hundreds, if not thousands of pseudonyms, just to express an opinion that differs from his. I/we know this, because Sid has said so, on numerous occasions. And of course, Sid by his very nature can *never* be mistaken. Be careful when replying to him, lest he find out that you too are a part of me/us. TJ -- 90 per cent of everything is crud. - Theodore Sturgeon

On 8 Mar 2010, in the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.misc, in article <7vlaq4Fb0dU1(a)mid.individual.net>, Bud wrote: >You all got me to thinkin' of just how old I am, and why have I lived >this long astounds me; to be in good health too with a touch of BP >medication. I'm far from the oldest person reading this group. But medications seem to be a way of life - you know you're still OK when you can recite the brand name, generic name (pronouncing/spelling them for the nurse), and dosage of each one you are taking. >73 damn years and seems like I'm still learning a bit each day and >would enjoy a person to person chat with ye old farts any day. Well, 75 is now the life expectancy at birth, and if you survive that long, there are still insurance companies that want to sell you a life insurance policy with premiums such that they won't make money unless you continue to pay more for more than 12 years. >Made my first crystal set when I was about 10. with a piece of real galena, not some pre-packaged diode. >I was thinking of those old radios I tore apart for parts, the really >old readios with twin variable capacitors Were they really twins (identical physical size) or mere duals (with the back section usually about 2/3 the size of the front section). True twins would be a TRF, or a [super-]regen with an RF amp for isolation. Duals, are a common super-het. Old broadcast radio freaks should be able to list at least three vintages of the so-called "all-american 5" radio - the original octal, the later octal, and the miniatures - citing specific tube type numbers. Was the filament on pins 3-4 or 2-7? What does it take to substitute a type 80 with a 5Y3? Or a 7C5 with a 6V6 for that matter. ;-) >I was given by an elderly fellow who had it all stored in his garage. >That was a crime! Yeah, his wife screaming at him to get rid of all that old junk so she could store the dress-makers dummy out there. Old guy |
