Good morning, all:
Although "A Mate" isn't likely to read this post, having
killfiled me earlier, I am happy to know that he has killfiled
both me and kangaroo16a.
Personally, I very seldom killfile anyone on any of the groups
I follow. I just don't read some of them, especially those
that are obviously scams or spam.
I sometimes watch commercial T.V. stations. However, when
an advertisement comes on, I don't bother to hit the "mute"
button on the remote. I just mentally "tune them out", and
pay no attention to the audio or visual input.
When I visit a public library, I'll have a quick look at their
new book shelf, I scan the labels to see if they are fiction or
non-fiction, and scan the titles.
If any look interesting enough, I may actually take it off
the shelf and open it to have a quick look. If it is possibly
interesting enough, will borrow it.
However, if I see one that I disagree with I don't approach the
librarian and demand it be removed from the shelf, or write
letters to the newspapers demanding its removal.
Yes, I know that some people do this. Readers who doubt this
should Google the string
library censorship
This will provide ~ 856,000 returns.
I realise that some people may not like my posts. As have
pointed out several times, they are free to not read them
or to killfile me. I don't mind.
There are both moderated and unmoderated groups on Usenet as
I explained in an earlier post.
Message-ID:
If using most newsreaders, readers should simply be able to
click on this link to read it. Alternatively, they can select
the advanced search function on Google and simply copy and paste
into the space provided.
If this doesn't work for any readers, I don't mind resending it
in full, on request.
Cheers,
Kangaroo16
