Farewell, my friends...

To all of you who have responded helpfully and politely to my articles, I would just like to say a fond farewell. In the time I have been frequenting this group, I have gained a great deal of information and help that I otherwise would have missed. There are some great people here, and it has been a pleasure to be acquainted with you. There are, however, a growing number of inconsiderates intent on posting irrelevant, abusive, offensive or illegal articles. I tire of ploughing my way through the increasing quantities of rubbish to find the occasional nugget of worth. I fear that at the moment, downloading the r.a.s. newsgroup is no longer worth the phone bill. To that end, I am withdrawing from this forum indefinitely. To those that remain, I wish you luck in trying to get r.a.s. back on track. I only regret that I no longer have the time nor enthusiasm to join you. So, until we meet again, a fond farewell... regards, Paul. *********************************************************************** * Paul L.

Come on, this isn`t what we need! This is exactly what these people are after. Why should we let them ruin what is a friendly and helpful group? If we ignore them they will enventually go away (cliche I know but it does work). Or you could a newsreader with kill files. Don`t let these people spoil your enjoyment!
