So lacking in willpower to just not respond to my posts, the old biddy
has to resort to the killfile so that the temptation is beyond it.

Of course, I've had people *claim* to have put me into their kill filter
only to have them respond some more. Will the old biddy be one of those
weak-willed souls?

And yet here you are responding AGAIN - even after you claimed to have
put me in your kill file...


LOL

Do you honestly think you caught me more than once with that trick? You
didn't even catch me with this iteration (rec.food.veg.cooking,
rec.sport.baseball.college) of your trick. See signature.


Promise?

It is pretty lame to tell someone they are in your kill file and then
respond to them (when using the name that is supposed to be KFed. I am
not sure if that is more or less lame than being thrilled about being in
someone's filter. But the all time low is to keep changing usernames to
avoid filters.

I have two e-mail addresses (that I use on Usenet - I have several more
besides those, but do not use them on Usenet). I rotate them. I have
done so since 2007 and I have done so throughout this thread from the
start. Anyone with at least half brain to work with should have been
able to see that. It has to do with a major illness and the fact that I
thought I was going to lose the mindspring address and the use of
Giganews as my NSP (due to loss of income caused by the major illness -
I did, in fact, end up having to put my Giganews account on suspension
for three months). You can look it up if you want on GoogleGroups (look
in rec.sport.football.college and rec.arts.sf.fandom).

Of course, one of the more amusing types of responders is the one who
puts someone in their kill filter and then responds to the "killed"
poster when other posters quote the "killed" poster.

Until you can figure out how to keep killed posters out of every bit
of usenet communication, you're still going to see it happen.
Consider it a cheap laugh.
