Pond people of the past....

When I first learned about this NG back in 1996 or 97 there were a lot
more
people posting messages here. There was a Kelly (?) who was "kneedeep",
the
lady from Missouri with a gorgeous pond. There was a woman called
"Goldfish" I think and many others. There was a man who raised and
sold
koi commercially. Every time I came back I saw less and less of these
old
timers. Did they give up ponding? Did they pass away? Some were also
on
the old Goldfish list (not Solo's list). I may be wrong but there seems
to
be less and less people here all the time.

Not less...just different. Of course, when every third message is a battle
with Jabriol that doesn't help.
============================================
Every third message? I don't see anyone replying/battling to him
here....?!?!?!?!? I'm using news.aioe.org which seems to get all the
headers. I don't think I'm missing any. He can be killfiled.

I just had 332 messages, all the same, come in from him (please don't put
his name in your message, I think he/someone searches for it hourly) or
someone using his moniker.

Doesn't impress new people I'm sure. Us old ones know how to kill and/or
delete it, to someone new to groups/computers it could be very frustrating.
Especially those who pay by the minute. Just cause you can't see it, don't
mean it ain't there. ~ jan

## He may be using a "bot." They reply to certain "words" or names in
messages or message headers. They have no legitimate use. I'm glad you
clued me in. Thanks. :-)
