Keith, please feel free to post the missive that you're holding back!

Secondly, should I really *truly care* if anyone does/doesn't add me to
their 'killfile' [whatever that is: I can guess!] - like, do you or anyone
here think that it's really going to offend -or- upset me in the slightest
if my 'articles' are automagically deleted by some 'clique come quango'
before the members of any subscribing factions 'dain' to read what I might
add, or contribute? Life's too short!

And anyway, what's with this term 'article' ---- oh, please don't post
another 60s/70s/80s etiquette URL! Replies are REPLIES, they're really not
'articles' you know. Um, maybe the usenet (c.l.c) should =relucantly= drag
itself into the 21st century here?

BUT, [deep breath - and I really did that then!] thanks for informing me of
the long sought after and erstwhile 'killfile' term [Q. Ok, how might I
create one of these myself: as I'd like to add certain people to it]?

Fact: I've only been posting here 'recently'. Fact: when I first posted
here, I thanked you for being 'constructive' - and I think you're trying to
be now too?

> ... and, frankly, you're not going to win

Who says? It's surely a matter of opinon/time - and whose killfile I might
end up in?

I stand by what I've said, although, in 'female speak' it's not a good time
of the month right now! No shag for you then!
