*This message has been cross-posted to rec.photo.digital.slr-systems

Actually you posted the same information 6 times to this NG, and with
regard to cross posting to r.p.d.slrs you didn't X-post, you just
duplicated the post posted. It probably would have been if you had
X-posted.

That said, you have produced some interesting work, but using
fineartamerica.com with their marketing gallery, your sharing has a
hint of SPAM.

Hi Lewis!!!!


Wondering where you've been all this while.


Unfortunately if you post with @gmail.com in your "from" my reader
filters you out. So I'm replying via 'duck's post.


Gotta run, but I'll check your site out later.


Cheers,
Alan.

Probably can't. He plonked GG because it's also easy for spammers,
though it doesn't bad at all these days, there were mountains of spam
from them for a long time.

I've had to filter out Forte Agent newsreader users to block posts and
sub-threads from the P&S troll (though I can white-list known good guys)
and wow, what a relief... *lots* less junk and vitriol. I probably miss
some good stuff but it's totally worth it!

Since I'm filtered out as a Forte user, can I call you names and make
faces at you?

Mothboy seems to have found other places to play. Perhaps he booked a
cruise with Sisker.

Aah! but you are using Forte 1.93.32.576. The individual in Minnesota
seems fixed on a different edition.

Come to think of it, I don't recall them ever participating in the same thread.

Oh! That's a silly idea, John never seemed to be put off by sunlight,
buffets, or bathrooms, and emerging above ground level in daylight
might finish the "unmentionable" one off for good.

I've got you double-filtered back on (white-listed).
1~if [known email] stop filter~
2~trash forte posters~

Oh nice, I can turn that off then. I'll try and see.

I guess it's mostly just RichA Apple/Fuji/Oly bashing threads these days
anyways ;-)

Hi Lewis,

If possible, please install a newsreader. Not that hard and definitely
free (for many NG readers). If you can't do it for me, please do it for
your country!

I'd hate to miss one of your more creative warped writings...!

Otherwise I'll have to count on largely un-snipped replies from the like
of Paul...

Cheers,
Alan

My version is one of the very early ones. I have refused to update to
the newer Forte versions. What I have works well for me. It is not
lacking in any aspect. I have found that updating from a satisfactory
version of software to an "improved" version often leads to being
saddled with a less satisfactory version.

Well, I can assure you that that is not the case with Forte
6.00/32.1186.

I use what I think is the latest version of Agent, and it does have some nice
improvements over the 1.x.x versions I once used. The concept of "desks", for
example, lets me call for new headers from all the photography newsgroups at
once.

But it still preserves one of Agent's original bugs: When you try to read the
last article of a newsgroup's last thread, it kicks you out of the newsgroup.
