It now appears to me that there are none left on these fucking cycling newsgroups except for idiots, morons and imbeciles. That is as it should be since these newsgroups are without moderators. Anyone with any brains has long since left Usenet. It is for the mindless only.
I will only look in on these newsgroups occasionally to make sure that Tom Sherman is not spouting any liberal nonsense. He was the most notorious liberal ever to infest these newsgroups, but he was also intelligent which made him a worthy adversary for me. The rest of you are all too god damn dumb for words - which is why I will no longer waste any on you.

I had just switched newsreaders, forgot some of the subjects I had filtered and people (sic) I had plonked previously. But within a day, 'ol Ed was right there to remind me. Regards, RL

Tom Sherman seemingly drops out of the newsgroups every now and then leading to me to believe that he has left for good, but then he always returns. I can never leave these groups for so long as Tom Sherman remains, no matter how ghostly his appearances.

No, I wanted the entire phrase following the hyphen to depend on "words" which I believe it does. Maybe a comma would have been better though.

Excuse me, Great Ed, but if there are "none left except for idiots, morons and imbeciles," as you claim, who are "the rest"? Surely, if there are "none but the [specified set]" there can be no remainder, what you call "the rest". It is a logical absurdity. Not that logic or the lack of it has ever concerned you overly much, of course.

Then you shouldn't use a hyphen but an en-dash, normally rendered on the net as two hyphens together with a space at each end of the construction like this -- which when printed will be a single en dash without the spaces.
Very theatrical, these long speeches about syntactical niceties which you deliver while holding the fire door open for a quick exit.

Thanks Ed, I was wondering why their are so many of your posts cluttering up these boards. But you explained it perfectly.

As Oliver Cromwell said: "You have sat too long for any good you have been doing lately ... Depart, I say; and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go!"

You are just an occasional, almost rare, poster to these cycling newsgroups. I am only concerned with the regulars - all whom appear to me to be cretins. In my hierarchy of rankings, idiots, morons and imbeciles are not the dumbest of the dumb. The dumbest of the dumb are "all the rest of you". I leave it to your imagination who that might include.
But of course what matters on Usenet is not what you say, but how you say it. If it doesn't make much sense, so much the better!

I should have used a comma. I don't think any kind of hyphen is ever appropriate for sentence separation. Any hyphens in Shakespeare?
>>> Very theatrical, these long speeches about syntactical niceties which

I stopped caring about syntactical niceties on Usenet ages ago. It is rare that anyone finds fault with how anyone says anything. As you can tell, I do not waste time or effort trying to get things perfect.

The only good I ever did on Usenet was to get rid of all the liberals who were posting rubbish and nonsense on ARBR. It took me several years to accomplish this rather mundane task. They all appear to be gone now. I think what happened is everyone got sick and tired of politics, even Tom Sherman, the most noxious liberal ever in the entire history of Usenet.
By the way, this is my 12th final farewell. I do this about twice every year.

Finally, confirmation of what many of us have long supposed - Ed Dolan the Great and Tom Sherman are inseparable. If not the same bodily incarnation, then they are two opposed manifestations of the same entity, neither capable of existing without the other: yin and yang, good and evil, Jekyll and Hyde, the two faces of Janus, Ahriman and Ahura Mazda, Jobst and jim, Shimano and Campagnolo.

When it comes to Usenet, you are not far from wrong, but there are some few other posters that I also enjoy. What I truly do not enjoy are name callers, but I am determined never to let them have the last word. If you permit that, then the lowest common denominator will prevail.

Well, Hello, Ed... it's good to see that some things remain immutable. I have been in and out for about ten years or so and I have yet to see either of you come anywhere close to making some point... but, then... I do not see anything that compels you to do so.
You may be the local kook... I have no intention to try to unseat you.

Andre Jute has not got this wrong. I am usually in a rage whenever I post anything to Usenet and I do not take the time to get my syntax or even my logic always right. But I think my animosity comes across just fine and that is what I want to come across.
If there were more posters like Andre Jute to Usenet, I would not be in such a rage all the time. But it seems I am always having to deal with name callers and other assorted morons and numbskulls.
The fact is that we all need a good editor from time to time. We all have our blind spots which we cannot see no matter how hard we try. That is why a good editor is worth his weight in gold. Even very good writers need editors, not even excepting Tom Sherman. [...]

Usenet is the greatest frustration of my life. It desperately needs moderators, but still I can't stand moderators because they censor me and ban me after only a single post. How do you ever get all the idiots off of Usenet? Well, it can't be done, but that does not mean we have to let them rule. We have to fight the good fight even if it goes on forever.
The only other poster to these cycling newsgroups who has ever approached My Greatness is the Great Mike Vandeman. He is a one note Johnny, but I think that is the only way you can ever accomplish anything in this world. I am a dilettante who is all over the map and who abhors specialization. I will never accomplish anything but I hope at least I make the world more interesting and amusing for those of us who merely want to have some fun before the Grim Reaper claims us for his realm.
I will admit I would never have stayed on these newsgroups for as long as I have if it had not been for Tom Sherman. He constantly infuriated me with his liberal-socialist-communist posts. These alien ideologies have never worked anywhere in the world in advanced societies, yet these sentiments persist seemingly forever. I tried to educate him, but there is no way you can educate a liberal. They are true believers like the early Christians who wound rather suffer martyrdom in the Roman coliseum than renounce their foolish beliefs.

Oh, just one idiot on Usenet to another... I can't imagine why they would ban you. I personally do not care for the idea of moderation as it tends to get carried to extremes. Usenet is the proper forum for idiots such as you and I.

A moderator will ban anyone who says anything the least bit out of the ordinary. Me ... ordinary? Get real!

Saint Edward the Great is way beyond Jesus. In fact, He may even be beyond God!

Please read more carefully, Ed... I implied in no way, shape, or form that you were ordinary. In fact, I believe that I explicitly argued that you are an idiot, did I not?
It took you exactly 7 minutes and 14 seconds to reply. You must be an addict! Is that so?

I am a genius of course as everyone on Usenet knows. Who knows about you.

I am always doing other things on the Internet and it is easy for me to look in on Usenet to check on the latest posts.

I'm a genius, too... now, *you* know about me.
But, that's not the issue. Here's the real question: if Jesus had ridden a bicycle, what kind of bicycle would he have ridden and would he have worn a helmet?

I found Him. Turns out he was between the couch cushions the whole time.
Seriously though, Christianity would be a whole lot better if Christians followed His teachings rather than worshiping Him. It was only 4 chapters out of the Bible people, how hard can that be? His entire recorded life would only make a tabloid newspaper. Ignore the rest, the Old Testament can be summarized as "Jesus is coming, look busy" and after Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John the rest of the New Testament was written by Paul to destroy Christianity, which I think he did a wonderful job at. The only thing left intact was Jesus' name and the Gospels which Paulists ignore anyway except at Christmas and Easter when they trot out the birth and death stories.
