Does everything have to have a point? Can't some things be posted simply
for the human interest?


Sure, but can you learn to SNIP ****? Maybe keep only what is RELEVANT.??
I really don't understand people's lack of basic deletion so that you don't
have to look throguh tons of CRAP just to see someone one line BS.

Learn to use DELETE!

Occasionally there are cross posts that are very educational. For example,
with this thread I didn't realize there was a newsgroup devoted to
truckers. When I picture a trucker I picture someone not familiar with the
Internet or specifically, Usenet. Now I know better.

In that case I must say you are very short sighted. And no it's not a
flame. But I know people in thier 80's that could show people about
computers and the internet. And not just in thier 80's. Never for one minute
assume that there isn't a boundless amount of people of ALL background types
out here, in and on usenet, as well as the internet. That included less
desirables as well.

FYI, I'm an over the road driver, somewhere in -any- of the Lower 48, 28
days a month or more.

I have about 20,000 posts /10 yrs on Usenet (primarily in Rec.scuba), and
I have broadband PCS in the truck.

As a wildly unsupportable guess, I'd say about 40% of OTR drivers have a
notebook in the truck.

They are, at least, far from uncommon.

We use them for work as well as recreation.

Mapping routes and destinations, book keeping, and locating facilities
like truck scales, maintenance facilities, and fuel stops, all on the
internet.

For recreation I dock my iPod, and download books on tape, and play then
via the truck's sound system.

DVDs of course.

Mounted on a Jottodesk made specifically for Freightliner.

Also many truck stops offer Wife, as well as some state rest areas.

Could we drop rec.radio.shortwave off the news group header where this

Or instead of being a whining, ****head Usenet prima-donna, you could just
ignore the thread.
You're welcome.

[Telamon is] "a whining, ****head Usenet prima-donna" works for you.

"sanctimonious hypocrite" works for me...
