poster here.

Or you just move to www.apug.org. Apug is moderated, and real trolls
can be eliminated.

Mr. De Smidt:

Please kill Tom Phillips' posts and let it go. You and the rest of us can
get along very well without him and discuss somethings we truly share. I put
him in my killfile when I realized he likes to swim in the shallows and life
has been okay.

Thanks,
jjs

John you killfile eevrybody that doesn't agree with your "standards"
with one possible exception, Steve Simmons. What,... may I ask? does
lend to your credibilty ?

I think he killfiled T.H. James after he refused to believe what
this "standard" photographic reference said about cosmic radiation
foggin film. Ah well, what do photo scientitists know... ;-)

Course he also used to call me "newbie" to express his disagreement
with me, so being killfiled might be an improvement.
