DIVINE INTERVENTION If I ever invent a fool proof way to get rid of algae this is what I'm naming it... k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...ors/index.html |

I tried to send old Remo a private email when he hit rec.gardens.roses, but
his mailbox was full (probably because he hit a *lot* of newsgroups, based on what I turned up by doing a group-google), sooooooooo I got his attention by reviewing his book on Amazon.com -- hey, I figured at least he might read that! Old Remo didn't like that one bit, nosirree. Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "Warren" wrote in message news:0TWXa.72936$Ho3.10624@sccrnsc03... R R wrote: This is only a test.......... Remo Rosati, author DIVINE INTERVENTION Sorry, Remo. You fail. Over 400 groups with "test" in their names on a typical newsfeed, and you managed to crosspost into 5 groups that don't even have a "t", let along "test" in their names. Say... Aren't you the guy who tried making an advertisement for a romance novel appear to be an on-topic post by saying something insipid that could have been on-topic if it were in the right context? You failed then, too. Usenet was not invented for you to make these posts any more than the telephone poles was invented to hold your "Loose 40 Pounds, Ask Me How..." signs. Sorry.

Searched by name in Amazon, Remo Rosati and found the book. And Anne's review! The site doesn't say much about what the book is about but this snippet gives a clue Customers interested in *Divine Intervention* may also be interested in: Sponsored Links * Intervention Specialists A national organization of professional interventionists www.addictionintervention.com I guess we Porgs qualify? But do we want to be cured? What kind of people would do an intervention with a ponder? Grass lovers? Frog phobics? People who think the only good fish is the deep fried kind? Here is the Porg explanation for new folks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PORG - A term used on rec.ponds from time to time. If you are a Star Trek fan, the Next Generation specifically, you might remember the evil Borg. Half living creatures, half robots, flying around the universe assimilating new species into their collective. Their favorite line, delivered in cold robotic voices, is 'resistance is futile, you will be assimilated". We rec.ponders feel the same way about ponding. Watch out you are about to be assimilated into the Porg collective! We will be here to help with the details. Remember resistance is futile.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...ors/index.html |

Heather wrote what is a troll?????
A troll, or his close cousin, the spammer, can be one of many things ~ a) a socially maladjusted young male who sees posting stuff and nonsense and inflammatory comments on newsgroups as a satisfactory substitute for his lack of beer, accommodating girls and skittles in his life. b-a) a rabid free enterpriser who buys into the theory that 100,000,000,000 posts about his product or service will result in one person purchasing his wares. (PS - half your post viewers don't own anything that can be lengthened...) b-b) the same rabid free enterpriser who thinks we can be fooled into checking out his merchandise by pretending to be an actual poster (gardening - test post). We've been there, done that. This troll needs an intervention by irritated newsgroupers to stop. Rec.ponders can hold him underwater with a hungry snapping turtle. c) the absolute bottom dwellers, lower than leeches, bloodworms and anaerobic bacteria - the pornographer spammer who thinks we really need to view naked people and what they do with various and sundry farm animals. We get enough of that with frogs breeding and koi spawning. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...ors/index.html |

Cybe wrote Someone, I forget who, added, "...you will be pond elated
I'm pretty sure jj coined that phrase. I will check with her. I have an email in the mailbox from her right now. k30a and the watergardening labradors http://www.geocities.com/watergarden...ors/index.html |

Here is the Porg explanation for new folks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PORG - snipped extremely long explanation by K30s ;o) Cybe R. Wizard replied: Someone, I forget who, added, "...you will be pond elated." I like that, it's in keeping with the original BORG phrase, it's punny (which has special meaning for me), and I hereby nominate it as a regular inclusion. Tis I (Ye Ole Queen) the *someone* of whom you speak: The Borg said: "We are _Borg_ resistant is futile, you will be assimilated." The Porg say: "We are Porg, resistant IS futile, you will be pond-elated." P - Pond, O - Oriented, R - Recreational, G - Group Hmmmm, and looking at this again, I guess one could say a ponder is always POed. :o) I figure if they aren't aware of Star Trek & the Borg they aren't reading this newsgroup either. ;o) ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |
