o My strategy to combat worthless pieces of **** like Corliss clearly is,
is simply to publicly point to _exactly_ what people like Corliss write.

If Corliss isn't at all embarrassed by what he wrote, then he should be.

When these well-known worthless pieces of **** like John Corliss troll
_other_ threads, I follow the rule to completely ignore them and not feed
them, as they have never in their entire lives added _any_ value to any
thread on Usenet in this newsgroup.

However, when these worthless pieces of **** like John Corliss infest a
thread where we're trying to accomplish something useful, and in this case,
using brand new freeware tools, then I'm simply going to point out that
John Corliss (and his many socks, e.g., his "Corvid" sock) write.

Fact is, there is no good way to deal with trolls like John Corliss
o Corliss will likely continue to prove he's a worthless piece of ****.

It's what worthless pieces of **** like John Corless clearly is... do.

When he does, on a thread where we're trying to accomplish something...
o Then I'm simply going to point to EXACTLY what John Corliss writes...

I do this so that these worthless pieces of **** infest other threads.
o So we can get back to getting something done on _this_ thread.

The worthless pieces of **** like Corliss always prove what they are.

Let us not forget Recuva

Recuva helps recover files that have been accidentally deleted from your
computer. This includes files emptied from the Recycle bin as well as
images and other files that have been deleted by user error from digital
camera memory cards or MP3 players.

The program has a friendly "wizard"-style set up for finding documents by
type (pictures, documents etc.) or an advanced mode to search manually
through all deleted files.

Hi Peter Jason,

This is breaking news, so we'll be learning more soon, I'm sure.
o Where this article says it's hard to find, but they show how to find
it:

o *Microsoft adds WINFR file undeletion tool to the Microsoft Store*
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020...infr-file-unde
letion-tool-to-the-microsoft-store/
"Although it isn't yet built into Windows, Microsoft has finally
released its own file undelete tool - it's called Windows File
Recovery, and it works with the newest builds of Windows
(variously known as 20H1, 2004, and 19041)."

Specifically, they mention how difficult it is to find by normal
methods:
"the tool certainly could be easier to find. When we looked for
Windows
File Recovery by name on Bing, in a freshly installed Windows 10
2004 VM, we got buried under pages of ads for other things.

Moving onto the Microsoft Store, the experience was no better -
when searching for its exact name, we couldn't find the Windows
File Recovery tool until we'd filtered our results first to Apps
only, then to Tools & Utilities only.

Once we'd finally found the tool and verified that we met the
system requirements, installation was a click away."

Given the huge Windows market share, this brand new capability could
be a big deal to anyone who ever lost a photo (which is pretty much
almost everyone) who then had to use freeware on Windows, or on a USB
drive, or a flash card, etc. to recover lost videos, photos,
screenshots, etc.

In fact, almost the _entire_ article cited above discusses how to
recover lost digital image files, which all of us (almost) have needed
in the past.

That's probably because Good Guy posts his crap in utf-8, so Sjouke
and Wolffan just inherit it.

N.B. Your newsreader stripped the 'Good Guy wrote:' part from the
attribution line, probably also because of utf-8.

I use UTF-8 because I quite often _do_ need to display characters not in the
basic ASCII character set. I also quite often read posts containing such
characters. My newsreader was able to read/write UTF-8 from at least version
2; it is currently at 5.24. One of the reasons I selected it back when it was
at v2 was that it could read/write UTF-8 (and that it did threading
properly), and, yes, I post using a format I deliberately went looking for
and paid for, as the Hog is _not_ a free newsreader. I don’t do HTML in
places not required, such as email and USENET. I do do UTF-8 where non-ASCII
can be encountered, which includes email and USENET. For one thing, many
non-English names are properly spelled with accents, umlauts, and what-not,
and in reaction to my known poor spelling and typo-proneness I make an effort
to at least get people’s names right. ASCII can’t do that. UTF-8 can.

Those who dislike UTF-8, for whatever reason, can simply filter it out, the
way that I filter out HTML in email and USENET. Or not. I don’t care either
way.

It wasn't that I dislike it, it was that you (via your software)
declared UTF-8 a post that contained no UTF-8. But no matter (-:
