- Oh, he's there already. It's just... it's just... my killfile
- is SO BIG. (Ooooh, baby.) Must it tumesce further? I mean,
- LOOK at this:
- [lots of kills deleted]
-
- Well, okay. I can probably trim out the no-shows. But
- just THINK of what the new t.b reader sees when s/he first
- subscribes. t.b must seem a midden to the poor neophyte.
- Given the bad examples above, the neophyte is easily led astray
- into newbiedom. Thus we have many new idiots like Bur, who
- landed in t.b spewing shit, but few new stellar writers like
- mathew, who landed in t.b posting great stuff.
-
- what we need is a knowbot at some of the major sites that would kill
- all the newbie articles to prevent them from spreading too far and
- reproducing. I see a great need.
-
- Another thing I wondered about looking at someone else's list of kills
- (kind of like sneeking a peek) was how many killfiles I am in. So, if
- you don't see this message, please send me mail or better yet, post
- (and crosspost) something. Repeat as necessary.
