Easy

If person = twit then change every word that isn't in('the','it','and','your', 'our',or whatever ) to 'blah'. Observing capitalisation. So my first sentence could well be "Blah a blah blah the Blah Blah 'blah blah blah to our blah' blah." Hmm... I'm going to muck about with sed/awk this afternoon if I have time :) So at least if you do see an LRPD from a twit, at least you might be mildly entertainted. This, of course, opens up the possibily for Swedish Chef, Jive, Valley Girl and other filters. Oh well, can't have everything. On and on and on and on, and on and on and on goes John.

Would take some dicipline but I think we could agree on this. Hell I might try this unilaterally if I am just poking a stick at someone elses post instead of having a deeper discussion. thanx, bill tshirt front "born to die before I get old" thshirt back "fscked another one didnja?"

Or better yet, a radio-group/combo-box (default: "Normal post") with alternatives like "Joke", "Ribbing", "Troll", "Flame" and so on.

Post #13,764 by CRConrad 10/17/01 12:41:40 PM Reply	Those couldn't work in conjunction with a ("twit-")filter... ...since there WAS no such filtering system on EzShite. Here, we (uh, Scott) could, OTOH, add a bunch of check-boxes to the User Pref page. Like, "No, I don't want to see any jokes or trolls, but I feel like reading some flames today..." Significant diff, IMO. (Oh BTW, my categories suck, I know. For one thing, the thing about a troll is, you aren't supposed to know it is one. (OTOH, they could be "stealth" -- marked by no other icon than possibly an LRPD for "new". (Not that any of the categories need be marked by a category icon; they could just be there, or not, depending on your filter settings. (But my categories probably suck anyway. (Is anybode else beginning to wonder how many sets of parentheses I can nest inside each other? :-))))) Christian R. Conrad The Man Who Knows Fucking Everything
