No one would need or want to read all of what you quote to understand the basics of the exchange deep in a thread. Try editing; I know, it is a little bit of trouble and has a bit of art to it, but it is better for *other* generally. -- dorayme

I'm not here to meet other people's needs. As the responses wend their way further and further from my initial statement(s), I'd like at least a reference point to what *I* am speaking about even when others decide to pursue separate other topics. > Try editing; I know, it is a little bit of trouble and has a bit of art > to it, but it is better for *other* generally. It may be better for their purposes, or your purposes, but I have my own purposes. The vast majority of the time I whittle out unrelated dead wood; in this case it makes no sense to do that. You may continue to consider other possibilities for me if you like, but the analysis isn't of much use to me.

Ah, gtr, thank you for invitation - or is it permission to further analyse the situation. Let me see now... What are your own purposes? You initially said you did not edit in this case in order to help *others*. Now you say it makes no sense. This is quite untrue, it would be relatively easy to cut down to the relevant points; come on gtr, show a bit of editing bottle! Less is more and this applies to a lot of things. If this thought starts to change your life, please consider a small donation, $US dollars only (I think the American economy is picking up). -- dorayme

Yes; help others understand my intended assertions. There can only be one person who makes these decisions. Me. > Now you say it makes no sense. Out of context, that might seem the case. But what I said was: "The vast majority of the time I whittle out unrelated dead wood; in this case it makes no sense to do that." I didn't consider it contextual dead wood, so I didn't eliminate it. > This is quite untrue, it would be relatively easy to cut down to the > relevant points; come on gtr, show a bit of editing bottle! You may be right, but spending 12 minutes whittling out the four salient lines from a blurb that large--what the fuck: Nobody's going to read it anyway. And might would unfairly characterize the discussion as linear, instead of riddled with tangents. > Less is more and this applies to a lot of things. If this thought > starts to change your life, please consider a small donation, $US > dollars only (I think the American economy is picking up). "Less is more" applies to a lot of things. The rest--not at all. This conversation for instance. "You oughta be editing long posts so they don't bother me." "I don't wanna!" "Well you ought to want to take care of my needs for me." "Should not!" "Do it!" "No!" Seems I"ve read this dialogue before. A few score times at least. One more time around the block? I've left you at least 5 elements you can tease some microscopic contradictions out of: Victory is almost at hand!

I don't pretend it's a wholly selfless act.

Reminds me of a MAD magazine tableau of little old ladies defending
themselves against Boy Scouts insisting on helping them across the street...

Funny you should be reminded of that: It reminds me of a loaf of bread, pre-made into roast-beef and pastrami sandwiches, and then put back into the bread bag that way, which in turn is placed into a paper bag from a hardware store,and finally then left on a bus-stop bench before Labor day weekend. It's funny the odd synaptic connections our brains make while apparent brain activity lapses!

The point is these are all local papers with their parochial concerns -
although US TV is also not known for understanding what the phrase
"international news" means (hint: it does not mean what happens in
Washington). The papers I listed are all national newspapers (I don't
see the point of a local one).

Don't discount local papers too easily. They carry various official notices which can have an impact on your life.

It's also nice to find out about activities, bankruptcies, restaurant closings, gallery showings, concerts et al in your own area rather than in faraway places.

Anyone who thinks the British tabloids are an alternative to the N.Y. Times has either never read the Times or the tabloids. -- D.F. Manno | dfmanno@mail.com GOP delenda est!

I make important data backups to work, hidden and encrypted, as my
