Been Gone Awhile

[Dudley Henriques[_2_]]

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

You wouldn't believe the mess I've been through with computers this month

Glad to be on board again.

It's amazing that I think I could live without my computer - no
problem... Then something happens that causes me to not have it and I
run around like a madman until I get it going again... :-) Welcome back

Read on; you have missed one of the most unusual times that I have ever seen
on Usenet.

The art of the troll has been extended, further than this person has ever
seen before. Your observation was correct.

I no longer read any thread past his pollution and hijacking. There is a
good way to do it for outlook express, if you are interested. Just ask if
you want the how to's that a few of us are using.

Welcome back. I _was_ beginning to wonder <g>

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

I loaded your previous info into one computer, and it works great. Would you
send it offline or repost? The invasiveness by MXS keeps getting worse and
worse.

The majority of posts no longer even involve flying.

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.

Good to have you back

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

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

Smart move.

Dudley,

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

I just ordered a Dell on a Sunday night and it was on my doorstep that
Tuesday evening. I am spending more time get it configured and all my
other applications loaded.

You just cost me $5.

I bet someone you were dead - or permanently stuck (inverted) in a doorway,
wearing gravity boots. Either way... :-)

Welcome back.

BTW, how is the back?

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...

If your bios was either DIP or PLCC and Removable I have chip high end
programmers you could have just called me I would have programmed your bios
chip for shipping costs!!!!

In MS OE, highlight on "tools" at the top of an open program

Highlight "message rules" and from the new drop down, click on "news"

On the right side, select and click on "new"

In the new dialog box, in 1), check the box "where the from line contains
people", then go to 2) and check the box "mark the message as watched or
ignored"

In the next box down, where it has a link that says "contains people" and
type in Mxsmanic, then add, and OK. A new box will come up and where it
says "watched or ignored", select it, and a new box will come up, put a dot
in the box that says "ignore".

You can then follow the procedure to apply it to the correct newsgroup.

You will have to feel your way around on the next step, because my computer
is already modified, and It will not show what I did, without a lot of steps
backwards.

Go to the "view at the top of a program page, and I think you click on view,
select current view, and go down to customize view, and here it is foggy,
but you go down and check hide read or ignored messages, and go on to click
on hide ignored messages, and it should bring up a new selection in the drop
down menu from the view at the top of the program box, that says hide
ignored message. Select that box, and you are finally done.

I hope you can get it done from my so-called description. It does make life
much better, and it is worth the time.

Cue "Mission Impossible" music! <g>

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

L-f-s-t <ret>

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...

,----[ (info "(gnus)Summary Score Commands") ]
| `f'
| Score on followups--this matches the author name, and adds
| scores to the followups to this author. (Using this key
