Charlie Self will return

Charlie emailed me to say that since AOL dropped newsgroups he's in ISP
hell, and that he'll return ASAP. Meanwhile he wishes he could post a reply
to the Titebond III query saying that Lee Valley's glue is neat stuff.

Tell Charlie to try Google Groups. Now the easiest to read, but pretty
darn convienent.

Got to agree, but it's what I'm using right now. I could not get Google
to open decently yesterday and the day before--I could read, not post.

Now, if Dave will only come up with some sort of filter...with filters
in place, we probably all forget just how much CRAP is posted to the
Wreck by the idiots running around loose in the world.

He requested your email addy and I sent it to him.

Bob, can you pass an offer from me to Charlie? I can set him up a
shell account on a box he can use until he gets this straightened out.
My email address works.

Right, that's what I'm using for a newsfeed. I'm just saying if he wants
a shell to get to it, I'll give him one.

Actually, news.individual.net does a great job of cancelling the blatant
spam/multipost crap. OT, of course, is impossible to automate. (you've
got mail, by the way).

Or he could go to news.individual.net and get a free account--only
limitation is no binary groups.

I'd say there're pretty da... <in>convenient... Other than the fact that
one can access them, there's nothing convenient about their interface
whatsoever, imo. :(

So, it wasn't a hoax?
