So its Tel and me vs the rest. !!! Thats ok by me. Not that I like it but its not the first time I've been out of step. Thing is that I am on dialup modem which is slow and which costs per minute. It is not a lot per minute but it does add up to a significant amount of my budget each month. And yes, I live on a mountain, not near any city. And on the other side of the world from most of you. I really am only here to find stuff to put in my operations manual which is sent out with my CS generators. I'm still looking for precautions or practical tips to pass on. I haven't seen anything new or noteworthy here for a long time. I made my first CS gen in early 1996 following a Mark Metcalf reprint from a Nexus magazine. I think I joined this forum in about 1998 or 99 To scathing Faith. What is an 8 ball?? Quite frankly I am offended by your constant sharpness, rudeness and attempts at sarcasm. Actually I don't feel any better, just feel sick that knowing that what was a wonderfully helpful, practical and knowledgeable, nurturing and specific forum has turned into something for me to complain about or unsub from. It seems to be a no holds barred, limitless melee of people all saying something, anything, just for the sake of it. and to doubting Wayne. I'm not sure whether you are calling me a liar or just can't find the words to say what you want to say? I kept 10 messages and deleted 193 which is close enough 5 % of the one days messages. Those kept were important enough for me to want to save for some reason. CS pertinent messages were only a part of that lot. Today I counted 92 in the bin and about 30 kept so the percentage is much better but a lot of those pertain to this message. OK, I hope that satisfies your doubts. What do you mean "Ask a question" ? ... Like? Like, "Tell me what I don't know, Please?" In fact I did ask you some questions about three or four years ago and you never gave any sensible answers, just went on about bigger and better fuses, batteries, telephones, circuitbreakers, circuitboards, rifles and carrots; when I'd asked you about current control. I figured you didn't know anything about it so left you to it. I was on about having to go through 50 to 200 messages twice a day now and skimming each one to see if there is anything worthwhile or if not then pressing the delete button. Its the reading time that is the real time waster. Spending an hour or more doing something as futile as deleting gratuitous ego stuff is ... umm .. irritating. It would not be good to ban it. Carol Ann's vitC/ cancer story is a keeper, thanks that is very dear to my heart. Odes 'poetry' is delightful, Jack Kerouac almost. John goes on but I trust where he is coming from. -- Using Pegasus email program Deleteing emails is virtually instantaneous. I do already filter all downloaded messages with CS> in the Subject to a CS folder. I usually sort this by date in reverse order and then by thread. I could also filter and delete at the server before downloading; any email with CS> in the Subject but with no mention of silver or CS in the body; but that would defeat the purpose of Mikes CS list which, I think, is to talk about CS mainly and other health products and problems incidentally. I unsubbed from the CS OT list about 4 or 5 years ago because it was then mainly american political discussion which does not interest me in any way. And quite a lot of gratuitous nastiness. I FEEL GOOD. now that i have that off my chest.
