Call to killfile David G Fisher

Jon Andersen urged everyone to killfile David G Fisher, calling him a troll who derails threads. Some agreed, while others said people should manage their own newsreaders, and istoff noted that useful debate sometimes follows his posts. The thread drifted into university costs in different countries.

David G. Fischer (DGF) is the InDiGo of RAS (InDiGo is a GPL driver who thinks driving backwards and ruining other people's races is the proper way of online racing). Few people can ruin an interesting thread as good as DGF. He provoces a lot of responses to his replyes (which seems to be the purpose of his replies) - which ruins the thread, as things gets completely out of hand the minute DGF enters the scene. I put DGF in my killfilter a long time ago. Sadly, he must have changed his e-mail or something, cause lately I have been able to read his posts again (now I have have killfiltered him again). Sadly, my newsreader do not ommit *replyes* to DGF's posting. Hence, I am tricked into reading postings infected by DGF. I know my plea is unusual - some might say even crude and inpolite. Sorry about that, but If that is what is needed to keep DGF away from my newsreadeer, then I need to do so. Jon Andersen

Ahh, so just a common Troll, silly me for not recognising it, too much time away from usenet I guess. I KF'd him after that 'what an ass' thread I checked his posting history and could see there was little of substance I'd miss. Vennt.

Why do you think I should do anything at all because you either can't set up your newsreader properly, or use a crappy newsreader? Btw, if everyone could send me a 100$ so I can repay all my debts, I would really appreciate it. Yes, I pay downpayments every months, but it's much quicker this way. -- -asbjxrn

Ah, the curse of finishing Norwegian university education ? Welcome to the club ;) Those $500 bills every third month is a real pain in the butt. -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

That's nothing, I pay $550 every three months for the education, $400 every month for my Oslo apartment (which I don't use.), and $2000 every month for my HK apartment. And then it's the beer... -- -asbjxrn

It's free in Denmark, they even throw in a little money so you don't have to work (too much) when you study.... but then we also pay a minimum of 50% in taxes. I absolutely hate having around 60% of my income silently taken away from me, but then again... I like free education, free hospital and so on. Mikkel

It works a bit different here in Norway. The university is free, but not to live. And we rent money during the studying years, which we have to pay back afterwards. Everyone has the right to get that load. The nice thing about it, is that everyone has the same right for higher education. The bad thing of course it to spend the next 20 years paying for the 4,5 years i studied :) The alternatives are working when studying, or live with the parents, which is not much fun in the long run. -- Olav K.

I can't killfile them all. I have on more than one occasion been gleaned something from one of his posts or (funnily enough) one of the ensuing debates / heated arguments. I do not intend to killfile DGF or anyone else because of someone else's recommendation. I think i can make my own list of idiot posts to avoid. Personally i find the endless CARTCARTCART type posts to be a bit boring now, but i appreciate the sentiment behind them and still manage to smile when i see them. Killfiling them will ruin a bit of the sentiment of this group. Just my 0.02c Regards all, istoff "Its easy to get lost in thought if you don't go there often" - Me, 1993

Still, I'd happily bung British income tax up a little to pay for decent schools and hospitals. Our university system is a mess - you have to pay a proportion of the fees, according to your means... but not in Scotland, and Wales is thinking about abolishing the fees too. In fact, one of the candidates for the leader of the Tories wants to abolish them.

That's still a lot better than here in Canada. You pay 100% here, unless you qualify for a scholarship. Lot's of people come out of University with huge debts that take many years to pay off. That's one of the reasons the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor.
