The horror, The horror!!!
Darken down Calvin:
I am talking about people talking about filtering out people because
they generally don't like what they have to say. I think that was/is the
topic at hand. If you want to do a deal where certain swear words are
entered so posts including them are excluded well I think that's real
special! Good for you or them. But things had gotten personal and we
were talking the filtering of people.
In the real world we'll have headphones so when we run into people we
don't like we'll think thay are talking Chineese and what they have to
say won't bother us. (Assuming we don't understand Chineese).
We'll just has Huh?! and seemingly politely walk away. The ettiquette
books will be rewriten. I've always wanted to know just enought German
to deal with panhandlers:
"Spare change?"
"Specken se Deutch???and so on??"
Mark :-) Rabiner
Next we'll discuss Photoshop filters and how they relate to the old
Leica Yellow/Green!!!!
