P3D Off topic, waste of time

OFF TOPIC messages like this are WHY people filter.  I'll bet most of this
list is already ignoring this thread, with or without filters.  You see,
people choose who and what they read--whether they use filters or not.

It's just a bonus that the conceited counter-measure advice above is
completely wrong.  In five minutes, I won't know if some continue talking
about this or not--no matter who writes it or what it's called.  Ah, bliss!

Those who want easy-to-understand instructions how to block garbarge
messages like this, write to me--off list, of course.
