I've been absent from this group for something like three years. I come back
and the same pack of trolls is still living under the bridge.

I just spent an hour installing kill filters and I think I got most of them
except for that assenholer O'Donovan. Any advice from the old timers?

The piece of crap formally known as Runge is another one to add, if you
haven't already.

I finally got around to figuring out how to kill crossposts, added
alt.activism.death-penalty to the killfile and, voila, the stupid
political threads are gone.

I simply scroll past the idiots, while deploring the sad state of our
American education system, which produces them!

I resemble that remark.

On the other hand, my education was at the hands of the Christian Brothers, so
maybe I -don't- resemble that remark...

Is that like the Blues Brothers, but without the good music?

This may be the first time I've heard "Blues Brothers" and "good music" in the
same sentence... ;-)

Cab Calloway sang a bloody good song remarkably well for a man of his years

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
