It's him (or anyone else for that matter) that I'm referring to. Just pass
over him if you don't want to deal with him. What could be simpler? Of
course, if just seeing the name "Mxsmanix" causes some kind of traumatic
syndrome or physical pain to set in

I'd just like to make him go away. It's like driving by an accident. It
takes alot of effort NOT to look. I don't want to expend the effort. I just
want him gone.

that has to be drowned out by a bottle of Jack Daniels or something,

That 'something' would be John Powers Irish Whiskey

hell, forget the kill file and leave him up and showing as I've suggested;
then invite me over and we'll BOTH get hammered together and forget the
crazy SOB ever existed!!!!! :-))

How about at Oshkosh? I'll bring a couple of bottles.

Hey Dudley,

If you are ever out my way, let me know (contact by e-mail--give me some
advanced notice, I do not check yahoo that often :-))) ). I have a bottle of
Cutty Sark and one of Johnnie Red, stop by anytime. Would love to talk with
you over some "quaint libations". Tell old flying stories (ok, liesLOL)
and spend a quiet evening. The wives can compare notes about living with old
farts like us!! We will most likely come out on the short end of the
discussion stick, but after all these years of married life, what else is
new!! )))))))

Regards,
Paul

Save yourself the trouble. I use Outlook Express 6.0 myself and have
absolutely no problem whatsoever with avoiding people I don't want to
deal with. I just scroll right on past them and go on to something else.
This works instantly for all situations as the unwanted poster's heading
stands out like a sore thumb and is extremely easy to avoid.
Saves the trouble of setting up kill files. filters, whatnot.
Works like a charm too :-)))))))))

I don't want to avoid people, only posts replying to mxsmanic, as if they
never existed.

Outlook Express does not appear to support a text search withing messages as
part of a message rule.

If you really feel compelled, you can type most of the header into a message
rule as a way to delete any further entries to a thread--since OE won't let
you just copy and past the headers. But that will also discard the good,
bad, and ugly together.

About the most that you can do, that is productive, is to do as Dudley
suggested--and if an entire thread has become insufferable, you can
right-click any header and "mark the conversation as read".

Really the biggest thing you can do is simply to think for most of a minute
about whether any further response is *really* needed--because it does not
take long to glance at a post, or even read it, but composing a reasonable
response is a real time consumer. I did not think much about it until
someone posted a list of the top ten contributors for most of December, and
I saw my name on it. I then did my own research, and I am sure he was
wrong; but it was clear that I was spending *way* too much time--so I have
cut back and will cut back much further--and I will especially refrain from
challenges that demand a rebuttal, since they are guaranteed to double the
time spent.

All of that is a really long winded way of saying that it takes a lot of
time to compose a message, even without finding and correcting all of the
typos, and that if just a few people budget the time they spend, the group
will probably become much more readable.

Hey...that's good Irish booze you're talking about there!! You know God only
invented whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world!!!

Sounds like fun PR. God knows my wife has a few "stories" about me she just
LOVES to tell people :-))

He is obviously lonely and a social outcast. He posts so frequently he
probably rarely enjoys any face to face interactions with people. He spends
so much time on the computer he probably doesn't have much of a life other
than cyberworld.

Yet, his confrontational and argumentative responses get him the attention
he seeks in his own personal life, all of which is pretty sad.

Unfortunately, most of the people who participate in this NG enjoy flying as
an avocation. It is supposed to be fun and enjoyable, and much of this is
taken away when someone argues simply for the sake of getting attention for
themselves. A brief look at his website makes it obvious that he only refers
to himself, and that all of his focus is inward. He's so self absorbed it's
no wonder he alienates people and doesn't understand why. He simply isn't
capable of looking at himself as the root cause of his own problems.

I would ignore you before him.

Howdy!

In article .com you
write:

from Mxsmanic?!!! His postings are spamming up this group to no end.
Gerd

At least his postings pertain to aviation, unlike your post which
simply takes up space. Your post is far more like spam than his.
Thank you for taking up space in my killfile.

yours,

If you really think this plea will have any effect, you're delusional.

Okay, that one set me off.

The irony of applying the word 'delusional' to a critic of the manic!
Oh the critic is the bad guy, rebelling against the right and proper
wants of this news group. He can't think straight, imagining things.
Right...

'Delusional', huh? Looks like a spit couched in hateful cynicism;
would be easily seen, if it weren't for the lack of clear motive. So
what is it? Just plain evil?

While the posts you are referring to are undesirable, I'm not sure
"spam" is the right word for what you are talking about.

You're so discerning. So what is the right word? "Instruction"?
Little is resolved in his threads. I read those on trimming (w&b) and
leaning, unfortunately. Mind-bending from a bent mind. Futile
non-resolutions ad infinitum. And if he is then so must be his
critics, sadly.

Your use of the word 'undesirable' wrt Mxsmanic (or just his posts),
and putting it between the opposing views forces me to believe you
didn't really mean it. Or undesirable is what you like. Or its what
you and a few others demand us to accept. What is your ulterior
motive? Frustrated aviators? Anarchy? Always a few of those around.
That is not acceptable. Acceptibility must not be universal.

Seemingly, (and if so then cowardly), you defend him from angry words
from those who likley would do him no harm. You defend one who serves
no useful purpose to this world. You defend one who has, and quite
stubbornly (with a certain amount of talent), managed to drag a number
of professionals into his own dark world they are not trained to deal
with.

Some just like to argue, so they have Mxsmanic. Some like to watch
others argue, so they have him & this news group. The rest of us get
little use out of that parasitic relationship, which only serves to
realize the simulator to Mxsmanic, when what he really needs is to get
out and deal with the real world, or be put away by it. It is queer,
psychotic. It isn't difficult to see that the mismated thing should
be avoided, or more.

The OP was not a critic, it was a plea. My response was not intended to
to be a critic on to worthiness of the plea, just the effectiveness of
it. Any one posting any message that says something like... "Could
everybody PLEASE not post this that or the other thing?", would have
received a similar response from me. If you think any such plea will
have any effect on posters, you are not just delusional, you are
pathetically delusional.

Cynicism? More like realism, such pathetic pleas will never be useful.

I don't know but if you label every piece of undesirable email-type of
communication spam, you devalue the meaning of the word.




"Instruction"?
Little is resolved in his threads.

Again my previous post didn't even attempt to address the worthiness of
the posts by the subject of this thread. However I will say that while
his contributions seem to be pretty worthless, I have learned from some
of the other posts in those treads.



Some just like to argue, so they have Mxsmanic. Some like to watch
others argue, so they have him & this news group. The rest of us get
little use out of that parasitic relationship.

Then you only have one logical recourse, ignore any such postings. No
other course of action (short of killing someone or physically
destroying their ability to post) will have any effect and once again if
you think . . . never mind I think I made my point already.
