I thought it was cos they thought they'd get the most support from such
groups as gardening, birds, veggies etc.

Shows wot I know.

The animal rights people don't do themselves any favours with all this
off-topic posting here (in my opinion). The mixture of facts and
misinformation zealously shoved in peoples faces is just a turn off for
their message. Like the people who thrust leaflets in your hand when walking
along the street. They just get stuffed into the next litter bin.
I generally skip any such posting in the group. They don't even irritate me
anymore - they are just part of the ignored background noise, along with all
the bitching and infighting that goes on here.

That wouldn't explain the cross postings to the food groups or sometimes, to
genealogy groups.

Well said David, on all counts.

They are a lot easier to ignore than the SPAM I get, sadly.

Luckily, the perp is usually easy to spot, such as Dr Someone, etc, or with
a daft subject like "good news for ....".

Anyway, I think on the strength of the claims of the veggiebreatharian
brigade, I shall go to the kebab shop tonight :-)


I have to admit that this cross posting lark puts me entirely out of
sympathy with the aims of the people perpetrating it. I suspect that it's
counter-productive with most people and goes straight to a kill file.

I don't see any of it because I have set things up so that anything
crossposted never gets to me. It's easy with the application I use but
I expect the same facilities are in most readers these days.

I can't see a way to do that using Entourage on a Mac, unfortunately.
Perhaps when I get my new Mac........ ;-))

I don't mind them as such, it's like a newspaper, you read what you
want. It's in the title, you usually get the idea of the thread by the
title. What is annoying is when an urgler respond to them just to be
rude. I hardly see the point. Best to read if you want, but don't
respond. If they don't get the feedback they won't post here again. I
think.

I haven't used a Mac for a long, long time so I can't help but I'm

It's the net nanny who craves attention that's the problem, going
round from post to post protesteth much and boring the pants off the
rest of us. I suspect most are too stupid to use a kill filter, or
ignore posts that get up their noses.

Avoid the rush at the last judgement. Be converted now instead!


PRAYER FOR A NATION


When Pastor Joe Wright, of Central Christian Church, was asked
to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting
the usual politically correct generalities.
But what they heard instead was this:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness
and seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,
‘Woe on those who call evil good,’ but that’s exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.

We confess that:

We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism;

We have, worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism;

We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;

We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery;

We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;

We have killed our unborn and called it choice;

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem;

We have abused power and called it political savvy;

We have coveted our neighbour’s possessions and called it ambition;

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression;

We have ridiculed the time-honoured values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, 0 God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have
been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state.

Grant them Your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the centre of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.”

If you don't want to see posts then learn to use a kill filter, or
even go start your own ****ing group where only ******s are allowed to
speak!

Just quit your off topic bitching here about off topic posts!

Then you clearly miss the point.

Try google for information on all animal rights, it's like a free
library right at your fingertips. Then you'll see the point of
newsgroup announcements.

Must be great being stuck so far up your own arse all you can hear is
the occasional fart!
