There is a 350 pound rat at Muddy Lago.

It's going to require a big rat trap.

Sorry. Wrong ng.

That's been pretty ineffective for years (decades?)

The particular original post has a Cancel-Lock on it.

But by the time you figure it out, it's likely pretty ineffective.

In a GUI menu, you have no assurance what method it is using.

That is something people do not seem to get. Once you put something
online is is there forever and available to any one who wants it. It
does not matter if it is Ancestry Facebook, a forum or newsgroup.

Some people think they can protect pictures or document images with the
site provided software. However If it can be see seen on your screen,
it is yours to take, regardless of what you are told by the site.

The internet is only about 25 years old, maybe in another 25 people will
learn this.

Too bad many English speakers, like a troll on USENET, do not know
enough to use "will" instead of the horribly inefficient "is going
to". Unfortunately, even Supreme Court Council do that. In their
quick speech, they end up saying "gonna", making the problem
obvious. There are some cases when that elongated phrase is useful,
but more often a word like "will" is better.
