Bill,

Ya gotta killfile the ass.

Mike Vandeman is a sick individual and he needs mental help.

I know, but Thunderbird doesn't work that way. I have to sort by
poster name and delete manually, then go back to threaded mode. I sent
Mozilla a note on this, but short of writing my own module it won't
play with me.
The mail part will filter just about anything.
Scratch Vandeman.
Bill

Actually, Bill, you can have Thunderbird filter Vandespam drivel out. It
is under "Tools" and "Message Filters" in the main menu. Just make sure
to have the newsgroup hilited when you go to set up the filter.

I've been pleasantly letting Thunderbird send his posts to the circular
file for quite some time now...

Michael Halliwell

You got me. I forgot about that part because I was trying to filter out
the multiple group postings and couldn't do it. I have no desire to clog
up the other groups or read Vandeman's rantings, Brickstons ridiculous
attacks on me, Dolan's drivel, or Sorni's negative postings.
Bicycling is supposed to be a fun thing, not a case for silly arguments.
Thanks for prodding me.

Okay, so you have to ride 30 miles to get to the trail. But why
can't you WALK on the trail? Why do you feel it necessary to bike
them? A real he-man like you shouldn't be taking it easy, by using
an energy-saving device such as a bike.

The trail in question is not even ridable at some point and I have
to lug about 70 pounds of bike and supplies of some rocky bad parts.

"Supplies"? I've never needed that much on any camping trip.

Mike
So you admit that you go camping. By hiking/backpacking to your
campsite you have an impact on the habitat, maybe to a lesser degree
than mountain biking,

Not "maybe", DEFINITELY.


Assume you are correct for the moment (which I do not), but by your own
admission, hiking does impact the habitat, why do you choose to destroy
the very thing you wish to protect??


but yet an impact.

Why would you CHOOSE to destroy habitat by hiking/backpacking???

By your own admission, hiking/backpacking scares away anaimals near
the trail, your shoes (Im sure you would never wear rough soled boots
into a wild habitat) destroy small plants and animals.

So I ask again,

Mike
Why would you CHOOSE to destroy habitat by hiking/backpacking?
You should be ashamed of yourself

Chris Foster

It's nice that you are finally able to add 2 + 2. Maybe if you weren't
mountain biking, we could believe that you actually CARE about what
you are saying.

Actually, I can't remember the last time I went backpacking, it was so
long ago. You don't need to go often, for it to be memorable and
satisfying.

On the other hand, most mountain bikers seem to go mountain biking
EVERY WEEK, often more than once a week.

And they usually use an SUV to get there so they have the energy to get
stupid on the trails. Make them ride 30 miles to get to the trails and
see how much less energy they have to destroy anything.
Mountain biking in my context is to be at one with nature with as little
impact as possible.
Mountain bikers according to Vandeman are drunk idiots with body armor
trying everything they can do, even riding off 20 foot drops for a
mini-movie by a friend for bragging rights. Those are the destructive ones.
They are like 2 entirely different classes of people.
Bill Baka

BTW, I have Vandeman, Sorni, and that perpetual idiot Brickston filtered
out, so I will only see this if someone else answers.
Sure cuts down on my junk reading time.

And yet you insist on arguing.... sillily, to boot.
The fact that you filtered Sorni confirms the silly part.

Filtering Sorni is silly?
Please do tell how intelligently he contributes.
Ed Dolan, as you must know, is just noise.

I have known Sorni on and off for about 7 years now, and he has never
seemed to do anything worthy of filtering. Au contraire, my lad, he has
been the epitome of restraint at times (surprisingly)

Perchance you may be correct, yet the Vanderman is making a mess out of
things, so he is filtered, but I get all the responses.
It's an imperfect world.

Iron Bill "Ernest T." Baka is a maroon and bull****ter of the first order.
I tend to call him on /some/ of his crap, and he gets a little testicle.
LOL

Ahoy Baker Buoy!

BS (a little)

I did have you kill filed, sort of, marking your messages as read and
then going out of the group and back in, but I just had to spell your
name wrong.
At least I got rid of Dolan the grate bandwidth waster.
I do have to wonder if you were ever with me on some of my exploits just
how much brown stuff would have to be dug out of you panties.
Cheerio,
Bill Baka, No ****.
