Re: Stock inflaters?

Since this thread is a mess;  I think I'll start all over again from the
very beginning.

This is precedent to nothing.

This is subsequent to nothing;  there is no 'above'.  This cite the
first post by you in this forum.  Ergo -- some aspects of it make
absolutely no sense.

Ah, so.  A tiny clue.  This post must have something to do with someone
who is using spamcop's mail system.  I think you are addressing a
spamcop mail issue in spamcop help instead of spamcop .mail -- which ng
is wannabe by some to become non-existent because it wantsta-be totally
replaced by the forums.  Which those of us who hangout here in the nntp
newsgroups are 'against' in the  -- Forums Against [as opposed to With]
the Newsgroups War.

I see.  This is clearly a spamcop mail issue posted in the spamcop.help
newsgroup.  We'll see what becomes of this.

So what became of this was more confusion.  Just to clarify, WazoO
posted a link relating to the problem of blackholes.us, the country
filter, being out of commission.  See http://www.blackholes.us/
Blackholes.us
Disk crashed. Wierd things happened. Back online very soon now...

Now catching up:

It is a newsgroupism for 'there is no we' when the term 'we' is used.

I suppose you /could/ use the forums instead of the newsgroups.  Or, you
could use the spamcop.mail wannabe-dead newsgroup, which would be /my/
recommendation.  Those of us nntp diehards would like to see the
spamcop.mail newsgroup kept alive with these questions by newsgroup
competents.  I don't think that a person who is capable of using a
newsreader should have to take hir questions to a webforum which has all
of its problems instead of having your questions answered competently in
the newsgroup instead of being sent to a webforum.
