Who do you think you are talking to? What you were 'trying to be'
was anything but 'helpful.'

What 'actions' are you talking about? Let's get this straight first,
shall we?

You mean your friend Paul Pomes (the junk-mailing-specialist-postmaster
of UIUC.EDU) was 'utterly unsuccessful' and he wanted his 'local friend'
to try 'some form of censorship' ('communication' for 'utterly unsuccesful'
that is)

Same is true for you and millions of people on Usenet, so what is
the point you are trying to make by repeating obvious facts?
That you are a 'helpful guy' in search of 'communication?'

What was it that you wanted to 'communicate' anyway? Ah yes, you
wanted to 'communicate' that you couldn't 'communicate', and now
that we are in 'communicado' you talk about 'my killfiles'.

You have strange 'communication' habits, don't you think so?

>take care

I am taking care, of you that is...
