jeff daiell has so infrequently shown himself to be above twaddle that
he is the first and only person to have finally reached a kill file
for me in nearly four years of reading the net.  It's a shame, in a
way, because occasionally he posts something worthwhile and now I'll
miss those postings too.  Some of them I will perhaps see in a
followup.  (Hell, when you post 1/10th of the articles in news.groups
like jeff _some_ of them will generate follow-ups.  What's amazing to
me are how few do, except for another nauseating stream of word-play.)

I just wish he would cross-post his twaddle to alt.stupidity so I
could kill it all that way and still see his genuine contributions.
Or perhaps he could send the puns to alt.callahans and the
net.circle-jerk crap to some alt.sex group but even they would
probably get scabs from that overdone stroking.
