Free Agent is not free anymore. Apparently the current trial only works
for 30 days, and then you gotta pay for it.

I'm using Gravity. Free, albeit unsupported, and can filter on message
bodies as well as subject etc., thereby making it possible to filter out
not only trolls but also any messages replying to same.

There is something basically unsettling about Gravity not being

My reader clearly shows that I DID "INCLUDE ANY OF THE POST TO WHICH
HE IS RESPONDING." So I guess that means you're "AN IDIOT!"

It is time for Perry Butler of Fergus Falls, Minnesota to retire from life
as he does not know what he writes, let alone what he reads. I think he may
have Alzheimer's Disease, or at least the beginning stages of it. I know for
a fact that there is a very good nursing home in Fergus Falls. I urge Perry
Butler to avail himself of it.

The only person on this group that needs to be filtered is old Dave
Larrington himself. I don't believe he has ever posted any message to this
newsgroup that anyone in their right mind would want to read. Why is that I
wonder? Well, besides being boring and trivial in all of his remarks, I
think he has become addled from all that beer he is constantly guzzling like
the drunk that he is. He probably goes to the football games there in
England and behaves like the thugs that the English have become. I think
they call them hoodlums. I just call them White Trash.

I joined this group a couple of weeks ago because I am interested
in
recumbent bicycles. All I have seen so far is tons of drivel from
an
idiot named Edward Dolan. Eddie boy....if you are such an
intellectual
as you seem to think you are, why can't you find the appropriate
forum
for your comments? This is a group about recumbent bicycles not a
group to expound on Edward Dolan. Go make yourself a group named
Edward Dolan and have a ball! To the rest of you....just ignore
him
he
will go away. Or better yet....is there a moderator? If so block
his
posts. As for me I have far better things to do with my time. I'm
out
of here.

Wow! What a pathetic rant. There are bent posts here when people
aren't
spouting off about Ed. Where's the recumbent themed post you were
going
to
share with us Ocala...? This looks like your first and last post
and
all
it
did was add to the background noise. Shame on you for enticing us
to
read
your lame complaint with a catchy subject title.

Whines about "The Troll" - does NOT own a Sunset Lowracer.

DOES NOT whine about "The Troll" - OWNS a Sunset Lowracer.

Anyone else notice the correlation?

Mr. Sherman's love affair with the Sunset Lowracer is quite
idiosyncratic.
However, I must admit I almost bought one myself some years ago but I
could
never overcome the high price....

What good is hoarding money (once one has enough for the necessities
of food, shelter, clothing and at least one recumbent)?

It is not a question of hoarding money, but a question of having enough
to
live on. The god damn utilities alone are enough to kill you here in
Worthington, Minnesota. And the g.d taxes - well, the less said about
that
the better. Everyone knows that Minnesota is right up there next to
Massachusetts when it comes to taxes. Yea, Minnesota , the land of
10,000
taxes.

When most USians complain about paying taxes, their real complaint is
that some of the tax money goes to people who are not of their race
and class. How many of the rich criticize corporate welfare (aka
socialism for business) or those of the middle class despise mortgage
deductions?

Income taxes can be as high as is necessary (as long as you do not kill the
golden goose which makes a surplus possible) to support essential social
services. What is so unfair are property taxes. They are sky high here in
Minnesota.

It is also those with the most who complain the loudest; though
doubling their taxes would not force any real change in their
lifestyle. The egotism of over promoting one's accomplishments,
ignoring the good fortune of birth into the proper family and social
class, and last but not least, undervaluing the contributions of
society and labor in wealth creation is an illness that is destroying
this nation and society.

I am as poor as a church mouse and have been so all of my life. I am sitting
on some downtown property which is not worth much, but I am being taxed to
death regardless.

By the way, your envy of the rich and well born is unworthy of you. Don't
you know that money cannot buy happiness? President Nixon said it best. All
you need is a certain minimum amount of money so that you do not have to
constantly worry about it. After you have that minimum, you can go on to
other things having nothing to do with money. Like ride your recumbents!

One must question the patriotism of those who begrudge supporting the
common good of the nation.

I served 4 years in the Navy as an enlisted man and I think I may have made
a maximum of $100. a month. What did you do in that department, pray tell?

The Earth Cycles Sunset Lowracer is FUN to look at, FUN to discuss and
lastly (and most importantly) FUN to ride.

The Sunset Lowracer is also [drum roll] ON TOPIC for
alt.rec.bicycles.recumbent, so no one can legitimately complain no
matter how many times I mention it.

I do not mind anyone mentioning recumbents no matter how often. After
all,
I have got 12 recumbents myself (3 of them are recumbent trikes). Anyone
else on this group even approach this number?

butbutbut, the Earth Cycles Sunset Lowracer is the Most Fun Bicycle in
the Known Universe!

All recumbents are very different from one another and each have their
advantages and disadvantages. I can have fun on ALL of my recumbents.

Yo Eddie,

Stop making a fool of yourself by making assumptions. Envy is not even
in the picture.

It is morally wrong that a FEW who are GREEDY and WEALTHY cause so
much misery in others.

It is a "big lie" that a certain fraction of the capital class simply
wants to make money to have more possessions - in fact they already
make much more than they can spend. The issue (since the start of
civilization) is that some want to have power over others. For them to
"win", they mush make others lose.

So what does this have to do with the fact that I DID include the
piece I was responding to. I can't help it if you use a poor
newsreader or don't know how to use one. Its obvious you're still new
to computers and how to read newsgroups.

Enjoy,

I did not see that you included any of the previous post to which you were
responding. In any event, you are a top poster and therefore an idiot. That
is all anyone on this group ever has to know about you.

Anyone who spends as much time and energy bewailing the lot of the poor and
excoriating the lot of the rich is motivated by envy and nothing else. You
have more than enough to live on comfortably. Forget about the rich and get
on with your life.

The rich accumulate money because that is how you keep score. They are more
to be pitied than envied. The rich are no different than you and I. They
simply have more money. For example, Donald Trump is an asshole. Who would
ever say otherwise. Would you want to be him?

I rejected dogmatic belief when I attained the age of reason, which I think
happened when I was about 16 years old. However, for most folks dogmatic
belief is a relief as thinking about things on your own is hard work.
