Bush will not secure our highly vital borders and ports, nor sweep our
nation free of illegal alein sleeper agents waiting to kill US ... but Bush
persecutes patients for medical marijuana to die in jail as the cure for
their suffering.  So folks, ya think here are some more wrong beliefs here?

I have found that plonking Mac Farlane provides lossless compression
of the news feed.

Clifto, can you please explain what you mean?  Is plonking him a good thing
or bad from our standpoint?  You'll have to 'scuse.  I'm a little 'taxed
out' tonight.

Fig. filling out forms, weighing envelopes, writing checks...

My news feed became smaller ("compression") without me losing any
desirable data ("lossless") when I plonked him. Try plonking him
for a year or two and see if you miss anything. :)

No wonder! Kick back for a while and have a malted milk, or better
yet some nice malt with no milk in it.

I'd always thought when you plonked someone all that happened was: you
didn't see their posts.  It's kinda weird when people reply to what
you're not seeing, but most people don't seem to respond to these.  

The only non-plonked person whose posts I never see are Araik's.  I only
see him on Google Groups.  I use X-News.  Does he come thruogh for you?

I got something even better as my reward :-)  Did you get plenty of
chocolate bunnies?

I'd had everything roughly figured, but I'd counted on our usual capital
gain & loss carryforward.  When I got into putting the taxes together, I
saw Socks actually sold some investments at a gain last year & wiped it
mostly out. So I got to pay on $3K I hadn't counted on :-(  I guess it's
a goal not to have that caryforward, but I was sure happy at tax time
every year.  Now I'm wondering where those proceeds went; hope he enjoyed
them.  I always asked him to do Sch D & I never looked at it.  Now back
to real life...

Don't you have another scan today?  Be sure to post.  I've got everything
crossed.

Yep. That, of course, means your news feed is then one message
smaller. (Or however many the plonk rejected.)

Yes, I've had that experience. Of course I sometimes get nutsy
with my killfile.

Yes, he does. Are you sure you haven't plonked googlegroups? I did
at one time and didn't realize fully what I'd done.

Until my taste sense returns fully, I can't stand chocolate. I'd
have bawled my little eyes out all day yesterday, had my sis-in-law
(who invited us for dinner) not made a batch of deviled eggs for
me to scarf.

Tax time is such fun. We're waiting on tenterhooks for our
accountant to call us and let us know whether we have to file
a 4868 for extra time.

4:30 CDT I'll be in the donut. Somehow I always preferred putting
donuts in me, but there you go. Probably get the results tomorrow.

Sometimes I post from GG at work.  I think those posts come through & I see
them from XNews.  Will try a test case, but I don't think that's it.  Does
Araik post from GG?

Good luck Clifto with the "donut", I know it's tough for you but soonest
done, soonest over.

Warm Hugs

It turned out not to be so bad. (I kept my eyes shut.) Slid in feet
first, a mechanical voice told me to take a breath and hold it,
there was a whizzing noise and the voice said to breathe. Then they
slid me out and injected some contrast medium, slid me back in for
another of the same. Took longer to get the contrast stuff in than
the time I spent in the donut.

Of course, it was a 32-slice machine. That probably sped things up
by a factor of 32 over an old-technology machine.

Results whenever. I asked them to fax me a copy too, but if it
shows anything abnormal they'll probably ignore that and wait for
the doctor to call me.

Some other ordinary posters several times expressed similar questions.
Even I sometimes would not get back my own postings. Meanwhile I use a
respected newsfeeds.com.
I noticed many strange irregularities happening with my postings;
Before my illeness I would point too much to surrealities around me; Now
most of the time I don't care; try not see "irregularities" and hope it's
accidental.

Hi Araik,
I wonder if she's double-checked her killfile yet..
I've left the signatures, in case one of them is the problem for her (seeing your
posts).

I just saw some recent posts, other newsgroups, saying that newsfeeds.com
doesn't always properly propogate to other newsservers.

That seems accurate...he never shows up on mine.  You were testing Xnews
for awhile.  Still got it running to see for yourself?  Just in case I've
got something odd in my set-up?

Good thinking.
It can't be newsfeeds.
I can see his posts, both in Netscape and xnews.
So what's left is your newsreader or newsfeed.
