So, do you just come here for the lewd and ugly stuff, or are you willing to contribute something of interest pertaining to cats? That's your ticket to being truly entitled to bitch about how badly this group sucks. You have to contribute to more than the sucking and the editorializing on the sucking.

I'm pretty fed up with the resident trolls here, and those who feed them (who are just as bad IMO, since the trolls would stop if people would ignore them). Add to that more constraints on my time, and I'm really not able to find the interesting threads anymore. It's a bummer, and anymore I just mark the whole damn group as read and close it down. SignatureLynne > I'm pretty fed up with the resident trolls here, and those who > feed them (who are just as bad IMO, since the trolls would stop > if people would ignore them). Agreed. I had to add Sheelagh and Bookie. Some threads are only left with CC talking to herself, but I've learned over time that she has a lot to offer here. When it's just her over and over, I mark it read.

Cybercat has earned the right to talk "to herself" LOL. As you said, she has a lot to offer. I stopped reading Bookie shortly after she landed here. She is permanently killfiled, but for some reason have put up with Sheelagh's antics all along. I genuinely like her, but my fuse is running pretty short of late.

My killfile's working fine, so though the addys are changing, I seem to have found the core that remains the same. I haven't had to add our favorite shouting troll back in in some time, though I did have to add the one that doesn't like John Doe twice. I use Thunderbird. The option to "make filter from this message" is quite useful, but change "is" to "contains" to make them work better. I think it's just a matter of tweaking the killfile until the noise level is sufficiently reduced. My KF works well enough that when I saw the OP, for a second I wondered, "what are they talking about?" jmc > God forbid I tell anyone else how/when/why to post - this *IS* UseNet.

I pretty much walked away from Usenet altogether a couple months ago for the same reasons. I have been guilty of some heinous Usenet sh.t in my day, but it got old. In here, I eventually finally just got sick of the "my cat's eyeball is hanging on it's cheek, do I need to take it to the vet?" posts. People don't know how to Google for info, they don't know the minimum on how to care for cats, and honestly, humans suck. So that's why I'm in absentia. <shrug> It's a shame because I have been friends with a frew of the old regulars here for almost 10 years. I have seen their cats grow up, have mourned losses, have seen new kitties be welcomed into the fold. We still keep in touch via email, but I miss the comraderie of the ng. -L. > > God forbid I tell anyone else how/when/why to post - this *IS* UseNet.

Your contribution to the group has very good merits, & I find your posts refreshingly honest too... even when I don't agree with them! This is all over something really unworthy, unless of course you are the target of it. I am just about to end my part in it too. I came here to talk about my cats, not to have myself dragged backwards and forwards through the mud. I want to be set free to do exactly that.

Honey, you haven't seen anything if you think there's been any chastizing of you going on here. Your and others' infantile, verbal masturbation is unbelievably lame compared to *REAL* flame wars, and people here have been lenient to you so far. If you really like rolling around in this sh.t, why don't you go over to alt.slack and try to dish it there. And now I'm going to take my own advice and quit feeding the trolls (of which you have just proven yourself one).

Thank you for your kindness Lynne. I think you know me very well indeed. I do get hot headed when it comes to people attacking me personally. Life is a learning curb & I will continue to learn every day. As for trolling.....I never saw it that way, but now that you point it out to me, I guess I can.

Yep, you were one of the missing "regulars" I was talking about. Even though we've had our differences in the past, I *SO* value your expert advice. I've recently been seeking advice that I *KNOW* some of the "old-timers" could have helped me with, but they're no longer here. Instead I've found only stupid, vile public masturbation by uneducated idiots who have no interest in cats. Endless, pointless threads like a soap opera set in a third world whorehouse! The shit-to-useful ratio is so out of proportion that it's not worth wading through to get to what you need. I am glad one of the old-timers has started a moderated group for feline health and behavior, but it's sad that caring cat owners don't have the public resource this used to be. There's been many a time I've informed my vet of things I picked up here that he didn't know about - and just being able to hold a knowledgeable conversation with him knowing all my options and risks was priceless. Oh, well, such is the world today I guess.

This is such a beautiful, accurate description of what Barry Parrish does here, and I have participated. *Thunking myself in the head* So sorry, good people.

I'm one of the newer people here but haven't posted too much because there's been so much garbage flying around here instead of cat stuff. I want to hear about Sheelagh's Ringo, Catnipped's new kitties, Lynee's Levi & so on! My guys are, as usual into everything. Yesterday one of the many small red squirrels in the side yard was - I'm convinced - deliberately teasing the cats like crazy, climbing up& down & dancing around the windowsills where the 2 boys had been peacefully sleeping on the desk in the sunlight. Papers, clock, telephone - everything went crashing to the floor. That squirrel put on a show for Coco & Little Devil for almost 10 minutes & I tried to take a couple pictures but I was shooting from inside into the sun, so they weren't so successful.

The dyke systems that we have around here & the drains, overflowed. The water got so high @ one stage that we feared that they might get flooded too, so we had to pull together & make a human chain to the house and pass the cats all indoors . I am pleased to say that the only thing that we lost were a few cat litters that went floating down the hill whilst we were passing them all indoors. The runs are still drying out, & we have made a start on cleaning them out thoroughly. Unfortunately the flooding led to the sewers overflowing, so I don't have to describe what the smell outside is like @ all, do I? We have been advised to re scrub them once they are completely dried out, again. In the meanwhile, Lucy(fur!!) has explained to all of the rest of the cats, that Tilly's room, is hers, & no one (feline or otherwise), is welcome in there. Ringo is sharing his room with Dot, the little tortie who chose to have her kittens in our shed- her kittens & Ross too of course, to take care of their needs. He spends most of his time looking out of the window, wistfully though. All of the other residents are spread out across the house, with Lilly, Belle & Tiggy in the living room, Taz in Luke's room *( Or should I say Luke in Tazy's room??), & Biffy in the extension where he is also looking out of the window nearly 24/7. Now that the water is dissipating, they want to get back out there. Unfortunately, it is not safe to do that just yet. As long as there is no huge down pour, we are hoping that the pens should be dry in a week or so. Until then , they will have to put up with us, for company & enjoy the outdoor breeze from behind the screens. Relatively, we got off very lightly, in as far as we didn't get flooded out of our home ( I can truely understand how the cats must feel there!!) We had lots of purrs for help as well, & they must have worked, because things are starting to look up now..Never underestimate the power of purrs, I say.... As I type, Ringo is looking @ me with "where's Dinner then", Look.. I guess I had better go and do my duty then. Speak soon Marri.

Another good lesson! Heh. I might as well jump in and roll around in the muck too. I know exactly what your defense is. You got suckered in. You're one of those people who want to "save" stray animals, stray people....etc. Having a big heart isn't a bad thing, mind you. You had quite a fierce loyalty going on there. Some people never appreciate someone in their corner like that. Don't forget "What goes around, comes around". I don't care if you call it Karma, or whatever. You'll be blessed for the investments you made, emotionally and financially, whether you think now it was of any value to the receiver or not.

Maybe I'm > getting too old for usenet. Please don't lump me in with Sheelagh and Bookie! I'm on old hand at Usenet (been around since before Al Gore invented the internet), but have been on this group just about a year now. Last August, I was given a 3 or 4 week old kitten from an abandoned feral litter. He swallowed the latex nursing teat while I was feeding him and I came here for advice/comfort/encouragement (yes I had consulted a vet!). I have stuck around ever since. The kitten, BTW, will be a year old soon and he still nurses, only on my lip. :) Once you get your killfile and filters tweaked, it's still a good group (or so I keep telling myself), probably like what you remember. Unfortunately, along with the idiot trolls, there will never be a shortage of people who post here about their cats being sick and not having money for a vet--which pisses me off to no end, but I try to be diplomatic about it and encourage the worthless scum to get to a vet right away.
