You might not realize it... But your software if it is the Microsoft
Outlook Express newsgroups reader might have a filter in there of say
100 downloads at any one time. Some NGS readers do that & some don't.
When I used to use the default Microsoft newsreader of many moons ago
it had that feature in there so you don't over fill the smaller hard drives.
You can set that up to whatever your limit is and the default limit
is 9999 posts at any one time. And so far i haven't seen 9999 posts of
anything in any NGS areas i've ever gone into yet...

This time i'll let it all stay in here for a point...
I TOO could send in all of my copied messages...
But if i did that...
I'll sure to BLEEP everyone off again. As all of the ones i've been saving
are from Just In & my replies to Just In...
And i don't want to make Kellee BLEEPED off any more than Kellee is or make
Just In any more BLEEPED off any more than he is....
But if you BLEEPING people want to see all this BLEEP again.... I can be
very willing to do it all over again...

SO with this nonsense... I thing we should help to clean up the NGS by
dropping with the saved messages.... It's sure to make us all alot
more BLEEPING happier.

Well... This just prooves one thing... The reason that there so many
DMMIES in here that don't know how to post correct.
That was a SIMPLE TEST. simple and very effective.
I could have said
This Is A test Of The JFK Music Services News Reader...
But i like short & very sweet tests... And "..." is really short
and really simple.

I do tests to see the results when doing resettings. Many people don't do
it and they get into problems by asking DUMMIES questions...
I do it smartly... TEST POST to see if things come out correct.

So... This prooves another thing... That all of those making the
complaint and one bunch of BLEEPING BLEEPING BLEEPING BLEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I watched my mouth for any little tots that might read this...
And believe me... I think that this place has somehow turned into the
little tots newsgroups over the last day or so... No one here has
brains anymore save a few of us..... ME & Chucks Party and a few
others...

I prefer the EVIL one myself... Reminds me of all the EVIL people
in here just aching to KKILL off someone by ABUSE REPORTS of their
good opinions and that is a right of these newsgroups to express your
opinions... And since many people don't like MY opinion... THEY BECOME
THAT EVUL ONE like in that website...

I'll be the first one to PROCLAIM here in the newsgroups...
I have to thank Kellee for helping to finally ending that Just In thing
here by offering to tell us waring people the true story about Just In.

The only bad thing is she didn't do it sooner and it might have avoided
the really messy parts of it.

Thank you Ry for at least getting that picture you took of me
[I'm the Rick Avatar just under the sign to the right] and everyone on
Dreamland Park Universe last night... lol

But i have to ask you before people in here start blasting away on your
rear... Please Kill The Html Codes In This Newsgroups. Use just plain
ascii text only. And thanks again for that wonderful looking
picture of me and the rest of the gang on Dreamland Park Universe last night.

Again... thank you Ry for that nice picture you took of all of us
[I'm the Rick Avatar just under the Win A Free World Click Here sign] last
night on Dreamland Park Universe. You might also say that there is a
PARTY world there so if anyone wants a Birthday Party... You can have it
there... You could also say that Dreamland has a DJWORLD and is the
home of all of Dreamland Park Univers's DJ's and special bulds in there
for the more famous of DJ's [I know one person that should be entered in there
allready.... Danny 2k]... You might also say that there are several
OPEN GENERAL build worlds there [Open General means CIT & TOURISTS can Build].
You might also want to inform the people here that Dreamland Park Universe
has the 3.1 browser & uses the 3.1 browser commands... You might want to
tell everyone here that the worlds cost the same as AW's and you can buy
them at any sizes all the way up to what AW has & at AW Prices...
NOW that is what you should have told all the nice people that read
these newsgroups... BUT now you don't have to..... I did it for you. lol

Well then WING.... You have never downloaded from the the other NGS...
The ones that are alt.binaries.sounds.mp3... Some of those will
download after you get a can of soda & watch the night time tv line-up
and then go to bed for the night... AND maybe it will be done when
you wake up the next day... THAT is really is a message with a long

Well... I know that at least & that is why i follow my religion on

BUT i too use a FIREWALL... but firewalls stop the hacker in their

Yippie..... I can become the Moderator. Moderators job can be fun in a way...
You can even EJECT the people that are making trouble... You can even
help clean up their nasty messages.... [Hmmmm..... I don't know of
anyone in here that would ever do that. lol]. you can even repremand
those that tend to use the CUSS words...

SO.... I am putting everyone on notice hear and now about using CUSS
words in an adult NGS....
As far as cleaning up the nasty messages.... hmmmmm.....
Well..... Starting with myself... [How many moderators would ever
think about starting with themselves... As they are considered the GODS
OF THE MODERATED GROUP].... I would have to clean up at least the past
few months of my posts... Same goes for Chucks Party.... And likewise to
many more people that posted bad things in here.....

NOW as far as ejecting people for really being BAD....
I would have to start at the other end of it.... {You'll see why in a
moment]
SO that means Chucks Party gets the boot FIRST.....
Followed by me.... THAT IS RIGHT..... I just gave myself the BOOT for all my
nasty things in here....

But then since i just booted myself out of here..... I guess my few seconds
moderating this group are now over as someone will have to replace me. LOLOL!!!

hello Moon Glow... I love DLP too. It's so homey feeling. Yes there are
many things to be said about living in a New York sized universe.... But when
the rumers & the hate start... BOY... It goes like wildfire in the AW
newsgroups... I'm one of those that have seen that & many others have seen
many more times over. BUT in the universe like DLP where it's the homy
feeling where you almost know your next door neighbors... That type of
romer mills & nonsense is limited way down. It's the type of place i would
LOVE to build a world
there and be on the FOUNDING FATHERS / SISTERS and see what was a very tiny
place become bigger & grow... Like the old timers of AW... Those that have
been here for umpteen years... That is a nice feeling... A feeling of
truely beloning to a family like DLP rather than some big number as it
is here...

Chuck... Most newsgroups readers have no idea what hatm looks like.
they will almost allways know what a music file is or a picture file is...
BUT html file... NOPE. that is best left to a web browser. As you can see...
I don't even post in WEB codes. I never have nor will i ever begin. And
many times people don't use a newsgroups reader to obtain their files.
Some people & i'm one of them that do it will use a picture sucker or
news binarries grabber program where all you tell it is gif,jpg,mid,mp3,zip
and let it loose in the correct directories and watch your hard drive fill
up really fast if you are on a cable or dsl line. I wouldn't be interested
in any html files. And since most html files contain some person that
is pushing come look at me for $36.95 a month deals... I simply delete
any of the htnkl files i ever come across in the newsgroups.

WHY don't i post in WEB codes? Look at what your NEWSGROUPS reader is
putting out...
< = quote to a newsgroups reader.
< = could also be the beginning of some html code too
<B> = line break in a web page.
But that simple web code an make some newsgroup readers go nuts.
Butin here... If you were ever to post using web codes... It would be best to
explain your moves. [ = < and ] = > and then you would be all set to use
all the html codes you want without playing games with most newsgroups raders.
[b] = line break
[[[YES BOYS & GIRLS... i have come accross some different text languages
that use [] for their codes. In that case you have to make do with {} instead.
]]]

I can see why Just In posted like that. And yes he and everyone would want a
URL here. Ok. My favorite one is this.
---------------------------
www.trend.com = Looking on the top of your browser as that site loads
you will see Trend Micro home, antivirus software, alerts, advisery, virus,
worm, trojan - [my browser type] Microsoft Internet Explorer
---------------------------
And on the upper left of what loads click on Virus Information.
To me this is the better & more informative of the sites around.
It tells you of all the current ones for the past month or so and any
alerts or what may be at HIGH or Medium or low risk types.
And you can do searches for anything you think you might have or
are just courious to find out info about it.
For those of you that want some more virus info sites...

WOW!!! you seem to be one of the real old timers like me to the NewsGroups.
But i can remember all the way back to the days of 600 BAUD DIP SWITCHED
MODEMS. And back in those golden oldie days... [Text on a screen went
about as fast as a real slow typist]
And back then... most people got their info from bbs's rather than Newsgroups.
I didn't start to really enjoy being in-line until the
2400 BAUD DIP SWITCHED MODEM came out... at least then the ANSI Graphics
loaded halfway decently and you could play the ANSI Graphics of the on-line
games pretty nicely [Stackem Door Game] and all your messages for most anyone
that had a modem came from the bbs that was connected to FIDONET with the most
of what they had to offer. [My favorite part of FIDONET was the FILEBONE...
Figures with me though as i was one of the biggest file leaches any bbs
operator had ever seen]. If i wasn't in the QWK Offline Downloader
for offline reading of QWK Messages Forums... It was Downloading 20 megs of
files on a 2400 DIP SWITCHED MODEM. And back in those days... You sure as
heck never used ZMODEM... That was Zmodem beware of lost files protocal.
It was more common to use Y-1k CRC Modem or X-512-CRC modem protocal.
and if you wasted bandwidth... The darn bbs operator BANED you from
messages groups for up to 6 months until you got lots of smarts.
And what would count as wasted bandwidth? SIMPLE ANSWER IS...
On your QWK Messages replies using your offline QWK reader...
1 - Use of too many quotes in your messages... [You do notice that I for
the most part kill off most of that. MY BBS PAST TOUGHT ME WELL EARNED
LESSONS...
2 - This example would do it too...
On the bottom of the QWK Offline message reader you would get ONE line of text.
It was called a TAG LINE. And this one line of text usually had something
funny in there. BUT if you tried to add tooo much more than that ONE line
that could be grounds for... BBS SYSOP [System Admin] ACTION ON YOU.

-- TAG LINE BELOW THIS -- This comes from my Emails --
A Thief Wants Your Money. But A Dr. Wants Your Blood & Your Money
