Thank you. But one partner always goes first. Just look after each other as
long as you both live.

A lot depends on the hours spent watching TV.
Some of us have better things to do, and just choose the worthwhile
programs.

I care too Geo. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. You're right, one
always goes first but that doesn't make it any easier. Please keep your chin
up and know that you have friends on usenet. I for one would love to see you
contributing to this group for years to come.

Best regards,

You're a better person than I Gunga Din. I gave up on nz.general a long time
ago. I found that the spitefulness of a few posters upset my mood too often.
I tried various techniques to ignore them but in the end decided it wasn't
worth it.... Which is a shame as it was good to have a place where I could
write whatever was on my mind and not be berated for posting off-topic.

Thank you.

Yes, nz.general isn't what it was a few years ago. The ladies seem to have
gone, and I'm not surprised.
Most people have killfiled the worst culprit anyway, and I don't read his
posts now.

Perhaps this new law will clean up some of the more obscene stuff.
But once they start censoring the newgroups who knows where it might end?
Politicians could get in on the act.
There's a lot to be said for free speech, however the crude and ignorant
take advantage of it.

Newsgroups are the modern version of graffiti.
