Curiosity about posters who drop out of this NG
I do it by actually subbing to the NG which is crossposted to, and then
create msg rules for it and don't d/l from the server or whathave you. Example one of mine is alt.politics (buncha flamin whacko's over there btw.) and I have it d/l, mark as read and then delete - It does show up on your side menu of NG's your subbed to, but it sure makes a better kill filter.

Also, there are times when it doesn't seem worth posting because the group has been taken over by a minority of posters just here to stir up trouble and drive off the people with something to say. Ah, but that's the BEST time to post - in order to bring back the order and sanctity of the group. I do wish that agent and OE had better killfilters for crossposted posts. As in a rule that states that posts that have a crossposted to "groupx" get deleted or do not get downloaded. |

yes, but ... the downside is it d'l's those messages from that group. For
those who pay by the dl, or in some cases - usage is monitored, that will increase usage when they are trying to decrease usage. IYKWIM. "Susan Jones-Anderson" wrote in message ...

I doubt anyone would miss me if I did drop out, but I'm still around.
Just sort of wrung out at the end of the day by my heavy work schedule....But I do try to drop by as often as possible. Cat |

Personally, I try never to let whatever is going on in the group stop me posting, but I do know there are people who stay away when it gets too bad. At least Agent alerts me before replying if the post would go to more than one group, and I always select "reply to this group only". janice 233/161/133 |

"Ignoramus21432" wrote in message ... I am always inspired by long term weight "losers" like you. i Thanks i. I've never had a serious problem with the weight but it's a constant battle to keep it under control. My all time highest was 177 in 1996 when I quit smoking and packed on 35+ pounds. I've been able to keep it around 150 but would like to drop to 135-140 if possible. The exercise has always been my biggest problem. I just wasn't motivated enough to get into a regular routine. Hopefully the 3 days at Curves and biking on weekends will solve the problem. Oh to have the metabolism I had until I hit my mid 40's. I can't believe I once had a problem gaining weightG Beverly In article , Beverly wrote: "determined" wrote in message ... "Jayjay" wrote in message ...

Cat We all have those times in our lives when it's impossible to post as often as we would like. I'm in the middle of one of those projects from hell and it's been consuming a lot of my time. It's also fall and time to get the yard ready for winter - clean out the flower beds and garden, etc. I also want to get a few bike rides in before the weather gets too cold. Beverly |

Curiosity about posters who drop out of this NG
Sometimes I wonder what happens to people who drop out of this
newsgroup. I haven't dropped out, but check back very infrequently. For me, my weight loss is very, very slow. An approach which works for me and which I'm perfectly happy with. So, there's really not much to update that frequently, and most people who post to the newsgroup are on very different methods of weight loss and I just can't really relate. So, for me, I just kinda pop in and see what's up, then drift away for quite some time. Tracy |
