True, but I change it up in every search, just to avoid that BS.

Not really. That -word shit still works today...

Not as much as you might want to think...

Mozilla's Firefox has add-ons that stop that kind of crap...it works too!

Yes, just like any other newspaper, newletter reporter does. I quoted
them from my notes, but I wrote the Editor's article.

Exactly. I also included the President's, Vice President's, Activities
Director's and any other material received from the members at large. That
also included letters to the Editor.

There's more than one snooze (co-) Editor who is no longer in this world.
