Geez man, you need to calm down. I personally consider both VanguardLH
and Pooh to be important contributors to this newsgroup. Both of them
have helped a lot of people over the years.

You also have good things to contribute to the group and I was just
warning you what most definitely is going to happen to you if you
continue to act the way you're are. What you'll notice over time is that
your posts will increasingly be unreplied to.

I used to get pissed off the way you do, but life is too short. Maybe it
would be a good idea to try to be more tolerant.

So that I don't see them, I filter out crossposts (messages sent to
multiple newsgroups at a time) and from various trolls. If you do the
same, the group will be easier for you to read.
