Carl Rogers - 01 Nov 2009 16:24 GMT Hi Viatologists,
The Worldwide Transportation Library has updated its FAQ section:
http://wwtl.info/#faq.html
"(2.15) Some of your highway photographs are accompanied by a distance chart. Neat! But why don't all highway photographs have one?
It's a work in progress! We are currently updating several highway photographs a week with distance charts. When this project completes in 2011, all highway photographs will be accompanied by a distance chart prescribing distances between relative major cities and junctions."
Cheers,
Carl Rogers "Environment first, transportology second" ******** Worldwide Transportation Library (WWTL): http://wwtl.info http://m.wwtl.info [Mobile] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Complete coverage of international roads and railways. Since 2000, we have offered several photographs, videos and Virtual 360 captures -- to each viatologist & transportologist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ********

What was your point, other than a bizarre attempt to increase the numbe rof hits on a site that even I only look at once in a blue moon?
> Filth cannot stop his "I'm considerably richer than you" pitch - he has > photoshopped a can of custard to a picture of an "upmarket" car and to "his" > yacht to prooove(sic) they're his Context, Toomy, context. Something that flies right over your pointy little head. You don't even seem to have read the text on that web site. Maybe you need to get your carer to explain it to you. You probably also need someone to adjust your headstick so that you can type properly.
You also possibly need someone to explain what "sic" means.
> why not just ignore crap about viatology or whatever eh filth? Why don't you lose your obsession with me, eh Toomy you deranged stalker?

Is anyone else reminded of Father Jack off TV's "Father Ted" when Tammy starts his demented, alcohol-induced ranting? I can just picture him sat there, dribbling, shouting for more "Drink". Only in Timmy's case, rather than "Feck arse girls", it would be "Feck boys' arses".

How's this for an idea.? Stop posting drivel, I'll stop commenting on it...

One of the many funny things about Toomy - a man so stupid that he can't even spell his own name correctly twice in a row - is his cluelessness. The pictures he refers to were Photoshopped as part of a joke. Someone in a driving group suggested that we should each provide photos of our cars via a website. Someone else said that people would just post fantasy car images and then suggested to ensure that the game was fair that each picture should include a shot of a tin of custard powder to "prove" the shot was genuine. I pointed out that this was silly since Photoshop would allow anyone to provide an image with the custard powder in view and then provided a couple of images to show that it was possible. My website even indicates that this was the case.
Toomy can't seem to grasp this concept of "a joke" and the poor little dead takes it all terribly seriously.
He's also known for the ludicrous tall tales he tells. He has claimed that his work has been performed on BBC Radio 7 and that he receives a huge income from that work. He claims to have been educated at the best public (that private to you Americans) school in Wales (i.e. he's claiming to be a well-heeled alumnus of an Ivy-covered school) yet, despite this fortunate start in life, he can barely scrawl his own name.
Recently he claimed to own a V8 Diesel Engined Range Rover. Sadly for Toomy he claimed to have bought it a year before it was offered for sale to the public. He is a certified net-kook and if such a thing had meaning today I'd submit him for kook of the month club.
Toomy and CalRog would get along fine - two underachieving fantasy monkeys.

Reality Check - 01 Nov 2009 19:38 GMT | Hi Viat <bitch slap> Here's a FAQ for you:
Why do you keep spamming your stupid bullshit into newsgroups where you are most definitely unwelcome if not outright hated, you goddamn looser?
RC
Daniel W. Rouse Jr. - 01 Nov 2009 20:03 GMT > | Hi Viat <bitch slap> > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > you are most definitely unwelcome if not outright hated, you goddamn > looser? Let me try to help out here.
I'll post this again (since I posted it to only rec.autos.driving the first time) as helpful for Outlook Express/Windows Mail users. Replying to that spammer just results in more incremetal status reports of that site/spamming this newsgroup, and the spammer is now using two different e-mail identities.
1. From the Tools menu, select Message Rules, then select News... 2. Click New... 3. Section 1--Mark the checkboxes for Where the message is on specified newsgroup and Where the From line contains people 4. Click the hyperlinked (underlined) word: specified 5. Select rec.autos.driving from the list of subscribed newsgroups, then click OK. (Repeat steps 4 and 5 but select another subscribed group, to add additional groups being spammed to the list.) 6. Click the hyperlinked word phrase: contains people 7a. In the text field, enter: postmaster@wwtl.info, click Add, then click OK. 7b. In the text field, enter: calrog@gmail.com, click Add, then click OK. 8. Section 2--Mark the checkbox for Delete It. 9. Section 3--The Rule Description area should now read as follows:
Apply this rule after the message arrives Where the message is on rec.autos.driving newsgroup and Where the From line contains 'postmaster@wwtl.info' or 'calrog@gmail.com' Delete it
10. Give the rule a descriptive name--I used "Delete: WWTL spam posts on rec.autos.driving" (without quotes). 11. Click OK to save the rule--all future WWTL related spam posts should no longer be downloaded by the newsreader client.
Note: this is only effective if no one also replies to any of the spam posts, otherwise, the spam post replies are still present as replies to the non-existent deleted posts. The spammer's posts definitely won't be seen for any Windows Mail/Outlook Express user that uses this or a similar rule, that's for sure.
(I will also confirm that the only messages I am seeing are the replies to that spammer. None of the headers or message bodies from the original post by the spammer are being seen. If everyone blocks the posts, instead of replying to them, eventually the spammer will just have single posts with no replies at all, while the rest of the more meaningful posts get actual discussion, and they'll likely just give up spamming when no one also visits their site.)
Ultimately, it's up to the individual reader whether they ignore or reply to that spammer.
Arif Khokar - 01 Nov 2009 22:24 GMT > Let me try to help out here. The vast majority of people participating in those spam threads are well aware of how to use their killfile. They actually want to respond since that's how they enjoy usenet. Some people lurk, some people participate in on-topic discussions, and others solely participate in pointless flamewars.
If one doesn't want to see these flamewars, the real trick is to kill any threads that are cross-posted to groups like uk.transport and ne.transportation. But, if the newsreader doesn't have the capability to kill posts/threads by distribution, then it's simply a matter of killfiling any poster who participates in those threads and make case by case exceptions based on past experience. I've gone with the latter approach and find that it pretty much as eliminated 99% of the calrog related garbage from both m.t.r. and r.a.d.
Michael Moroney - 02 Nov 2009 22:30 GMT I don't see the following questions on your FAQ:
Q: Why is the Javascript on your website so lame? Is there a contest for the lamest use of Javascript?
Q: Why do you wish to drive traffic away from your website by spamming the fact that you have watermarked 3 photographs on it, every time you watermark 3 photos? Is there also a contest for the website with the fewest hits?
Q: Why don't you use a script using gimp or something to watermark all photos in one shot, and just be done with it?
Q: Why do you wish to force a fucktardedly stupid word like "v**t*l*g*" on us, rather than the commonly used "road fan", "Roads Scholar" or "roadgeek"? Why do you pretend that "v**t*l*g*" is some sort of science?
Q: Why won't you answer any of these questions?

Otto Yamamoto - 03 Nov 2009 00:30 GMT > Q: Why won't you answer any of these questions? Oh, but he has. You forget his bold declaration that he will do what he wants when he wants. He didn't get to be the engine driver on this train, so he's going to sh.t in all the cars so as to ruin everyone else's ride.

Reality Check - 03 Nov 2009 02:42 GMT |I don't see the following questions on your FAQ: (with all due deference to Mr. Nasty)
| Q: Why is the Javascript on your website so lame? Is there a contest | for the lamest use of Javascript? Part 1: Because Carl is an a.shole. Part 2: Carl is the world champion of that contest and has to defend his crown.
| Q: Why do you wish to drive traffic away from your website by spamming the | fact that you have watermarked 3 photographs on it, every time you | watermark 3 photos? Is there also a contest for the website with the | fewest hits? Part 1: Because Carl is an a.shole. Part 2: Probablly is and Carl is gunning to become the universal champion of that contest.
| Q: Why don't you use a script using gimp or something to watermark all | photos in one shot, and just be done with it? Because Carl is an a.shole and it would cut away from his time getting lame-a.s PRWeb releases made.
| Q: Why do you wish to force a fucktardedly stupid word like "v**t*l*g*" on | us, rather than the commonly used "road fan", "Roads Scholar" or "roadgeek"? | Why do you pretend that "v**t*l*g*" is some sort of science? Both parts: Because Carl is an a.shole.
