For those who want advanced article screening, I suggest GNUS running
on Xemacs. This works on Windows, Macs, and Linux, is free, and not
hard to setup. For instance, I can ignore posts started by a given
author and *all followups* to those posts. Really makes Usenet
readable again. And Xemacs is an extremely versatile text editor for
those with a need for something beyond Notepad.

May I ask how you teach gnus this trick? I use gnus, but have not
delved that deeply into the documentation...

As you might expect, it's already built in, but obscu

which Lowers the score on followups, substring, temporary.

IIRC adaptive scoring probably needs to be enabled for this to work.

See the manual for details...

Hello everyone;
Sorry about the absence. Our PC went for a deep six on the 15th of January
with a bad bios update. Had to order a brand new system which just got here
today. (No sense doing the chipset replacement as the new system was to be
ordered anyway.

Please, Please, Please tell us you haven't gone VISTA on us? :-)

Looks to me like he went to a mac: Microsoft-Entourage/11.3.3.061214

Smart move.

Mike,

Smart move.

Well Dudley, you did miss a few 'minor' items while you were gone...

The FAA was made independent of the NTSB and is now a cabinet seat in
the White House...
A new head of the FAA was appointed and he is a GA pilot and CFI from
Iowa...
A Special Master was appointed to review FAA regs and he immediately
ruled them to be unconstitutionally complex... They have been voided
and the FAA has 90 days to rewrite the regs in plain language
understandable to a high school graduate...
Once awarded the pilots certificate, exercising those privileges is a
legal right...
All adverse certificate actions by the FAA to be reviewed by the
Courts...
Airports have been declared to be crucial to the national
transportation system and it is a felony crime to close an airport...
This rule is retroactive five years from this date and all airports
closed since then have to be reopened within 6 months... Any
interfering structures within the airport traffic area and its
approaches will be immediately bulldozed... It is a felony crime to
interfere with or file a lawsuit against any provison of this rule...
All state and local airport noise ordinances and/or other local rules,
laws, and regulations impacting pilots, are declared unconstitutional
as the FAA has jurisdition over aviation...
The airman medical is self certification based on having a valid
drivers license... Special provisions for those lacking a drivers
license for non medical reasons will be promulgated...
The aircraft condition inspection is now biennial...
All aircraft parts and equipment must have a source of at least two
independent manufacturers before the aircraft may be produced.. Any
willing supplier may produce airplane parts which will be considered
airworthy as a matter of law...
And finally, all high school districts must offer pilot training
similar to drivers training, or lose federal funding...

As I said, a few minor items in your absence...

That one with the BIOS problem wouldn't happen to be a Dell, would it?

I bought one and it lasted four days before calling for an RMA. Even that
they screwed up.

I hope everyone has remained in good health and good spirits while I've
been
making this changeover in computers :-)

Good to have you back

BTW, are you still looking for equipment for that Young Eagles program you
were teaching?

Dudley,

Good to have you back.

Our PC went for a deep six on the 15th of January
with a bad bios update.

Well, I take it you just pulled the back-up you do every day or so and
everything went smoothly from there-on...
