Definate mod quote material here. I've only got one question though.
How do you know about the "in public" stuff? :^)

I have two words for you: Bob and Slack.

Not that I expect you to get the reference since it flew completely over
your head when a certain special someone tried to explain the pipe toting
Slackware penguin to you.

Sorry for jumping him out of the killfiles guys, but I've been chuckling
ever since seeing he didn't understand Slackware's little version of Tux.
It's so integral to the name, that to not get the reference is just...
well... it explains a whole lot about Mr. Al C's inability to understand
the dynamics of the Slackware community.

Because YOU say so?

Yeah, right.

I'll post what I want, without your permission.

You got a problem here?

I can live with that.

Learn how to killfile. You will be a happier person for it becasue I'm not
going away any time soon. (Just tears you up, doesn't it!)

Allow me to bask in the glow of that most excellent flame surely
deserving of a reward. Two BOZO points for you.

Yup, I was right, he can't do it!

Surf the web.

Read the manual.

Ask politely for an explanation of what you have found from the above.

Perhaps someone will tell *you* how to do it and then you wont have to
have all us nasty regulars forcing reality to intrude into your world.

oh i think we've seen some pretty disgusting behaviour
here recently ... you probably missed it if your killfile
is setup proper. google the top of this thread for a
typical example, you even get honorable mention in it.
on a second thought, don't bother, you'll only be
disgusted, as the OP troll intends. move along now,
we've got work to do :*)

I don't believe for a minute that Hicks has killfiled me or anyone else. The
man LIVES for conflict. Same with notbob and a few others.

I hear all the time that about killfiles, but with this group of reprobates, I
have my doubts. The guys who claim to killfile everyone seem to enjoy the
hell out of the threads where they SAY they have killfiled the OP. Yeah,
right. I might have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.

I think that's what all of us do. And while you (Ravens) are more
even-tempered than most of the regulars here, you have to admit that in your
heart of hearts you believe in the "don't dare ask until you've researched"
theory... the one that I reject and which seems to be the constant source of
contention to you and ypur 'gang of bozo.'

I accept your position. I think you and your firends have valid reasons for
trying to enforce this rule ... or trying to make it part of the 'culture.'
But I still reject it.

What you and Hicks and notbob and other fail to do is to give 'the other side'
a fair hearing. Anyone who dares to stand up to 'the gang of bozo' just gets
hammered.

Well fine. I can hammer back.

You guys (collective) don't want to discuss anything in a rational manner. All
you want to do is issue insults.

Well, fine. In can insult back.

As I said earlier, just ignore or killfile those individuals whom you disagree
with. There is no need to beat the hell out of them.

Oh, silly me. I forget. You guys LIKE doing that. Well then, I'm your guy.
You've been pounding me here for over a year now and I'm still here... and
you're still pissed. What does that tell you?

Not in my heart of hearts, on my sleeve, and yes I am indeed one of the
the gang of BOZO's No. 8 and the 5th European (on the Blue European
List).
