Warren tried the utility for that, and, over time, Blogger wouldn't even let him sign in to comment.<br /><br />Other blogging platforms <b>do</b> allow for banning and the editing of comments. <br /><br />For a while -- before you visited my blog -- I used Haloscan for <i>Always On Watch 2</i>, the site I used before this site, <i>Always On Watch 3</i>, was launched. Then the day came that Haloscan went out of business. All the comments disappeared!<br /><br />So, with Blogger, we are reduced to babysitting our blogs or staying in comment moderation, which is another form of babysitting the blog.<br /><br />**sigh**Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-7710128371683988642017-01-02T05:58:11.600-06:002017-01-02T05:58:11.600-06:00Yes, Kid, FJ suggested something similar, but I ––...Yes, Kid, FJ suggested something similar, but I –– devout Tech Moron that I am, and frankly hostile to excessive preoccupation with gadgets on principle –– do not have, <i>and am unlikely ever to acquire,</i> the kind of technical expertise you and Farmer and Warren possess.<br /><br />Instead of making everyone jump through flaming hoops to achieve a simple formatting upgrade, <b>I don't think it is unreasonable to think that outfits like Blogger and all the rest of them could –– and should –– provide the service I described as an integral part of the blogging package</b>.<br /><br />It would have many undesirable effects, I know, because frankly morons and vicious fiends abound, and seem eager always to make a <i>career</i> out making bloody nuisances of themselves, but I still think being able to transit VOICE message and even PICTURES come to think it would add great to the potential of blogging.<br /><br />After all, from what i've observed after seventeen years in this game NOBODY READS anymore, They just plow full speed ahead to put down THEIR thoughts (usually in poor grammar and clumsy syntax) and never seem to take in anyone ELSE'S ideas.<br /><br />Sorry, I'm rambling now.<br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR!FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-79861349025683459272017-01-02T05:40:21.137-06:002017-01-02T05:40:21.137-06:00Chronic Defenders of theIndefensibly should either...Chronic Defenders of theIndefensibly should either be IGNORED –– or preferably –– BANNED.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-60523846985595075692016-12-31T07:05:11.783-06:002016-12-31T07:05:11.783-06:00That, of course, was dedicated primarily to Canard...That, of course, was dedicated primarily to Canardo, who is so full of <i>"wind"</i> most the time it's a wonder he can still manage to keep his feet on the ground at all.<br /><br />HAPPY NEW YEAR!FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-19345658928598776052016-12-30T06:59:41.704-06:002016-12-30T06:59:41.704-06:00says it all AOW!

Why haven't we made every effort to investigate the use of HEMP as a potential energy source? It's cheap, plentiful, grows like a weed, and has none of the negative effects of CORN-POWERED ETHANOL. Also, I have read that Brazil (or is it Argentina) has used some sort of GRASS as its primary source of fuel. If that is true, why aren't we emulating it? <br /><br />3.

Maybe they carry extra water in case they find someone in trouble on the road, today when life is so much easier, people don't think in those terms.</i><br /><br />I know that we can't turn back the clock. Still, our lives would be so much better if we could return to "neighborly values" instead of depending on the government (social services) to step in. We have our own handicapped van, but hardly anyone ever offers to shuttle Mr. AOW to a destination. <br /><br />Here's why....<br /><br />People assume that Mr. AOW and I can get free services for the elderly. News flash! That applies only to Medicaid beneficiaries. The paratransit van that we must use while I'm down and out (Since before June!) isn't free. Mr. AOW pays a fare every time he wheels on board -- sometimes as much as $13.50 one way.<br /><br />Back in the day before The Nanny State burgeoned after 1965 (LBJ's Great Society), neighbors helping neighbors and the spirit of service to the community began to evaporate.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-53057578024189839082016-12-28T08:26:04.690-06:002016-12-28T08:26:04.690-06:00Kid,

Not to mention robbing the vehicle of any pickup to merge on a freeway. Fuel injection corrected that problem, but it took years for fuel injection to become the norm.
