Please help downloading from newsgroup
Time

Sorry if there is another thread for this, but couldn't find one.  Anyway, I'm a first time newsgroup user, and using Mozilla Thunderbird, I can see the files I want to download (or maybe just the headers? there doesn't seem to be any attachments).  I can't see any way to actually download the files.  Thunderbird just treats them as a message.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: I should have kept trying other options before posting here.  I still don't know if Thunderbird can download these files, but I figured out how to get a nzb file and then used GrabIt to download.  Sorry for the wasted thread.

Star Wars - Poorly Directed?
Time

I was reading an article on ESPN.com (literally 30 seconds ago) and was startled to read this:

Random emailer said:

I was hoping you could think of some women who younger men may be surprised to find out were considered ridiculously hot and desirable back in the day. The Shelley Long All-Stars if you will.

Bill Simmons said:

So let's name it the Kathleen Turner All-Stars. Some other good examples with help from the Mailbag Committee: Kirstie Alley; Susan Sarandon; Phyllis George; Belinda Carlisle; Carrie Fisher; Charlene Tilton; Mary Tyler Moore; Tyra Banks; Marianne Faithfull; Melanie Griffith; Delta Burke; Deborah Norville; Teri Garr; Cher; Brenda Vaccaro; Angie Dickinson; Brigitte Nielsen; Valerie Bertinelli; Lindsay Lohan (the youngest example ever); Ann Wilson; Elizabeth Taylor; Ann-Margret; Debbie Harry; Whitney Houston; and, of course, Jim Lampley.

LOL.

How does ignore work?
Time

So this is a question, not a suggestion or idea.  Sorry but didn't see a better place to put it.

Anyway, I'm wondering how the ignore feature works.  I've just discovered another user has chosen to ignore me, and besides doing a little crying, I'm trying to figure out exactly what it means.  Do my posts not show up to the person who has ignored me?  When other people quote me, does that show up?  Do my posts before the "ignore incident" still show up?

How, exactly, does it work?

Sure, I suppose I could ignore someone and see what happens, but I don't like to be rude.

Thanks.

In TPM he opens the pod races and everyone loves (?) him but later he seems more like a boss that is living the good life away from things and the Empire.

i think the reason he was such a popular character in TPM, was because, it was Episode I. just the fact u could see him in a new star wars movie was exciting.

I think Ganamae meant that everyone in the movie loved him - i.e. the crowd went wild when he was introduced.  I don't really know anyone in real life who loved him in TPM.

Unless I've misunderstood one of you...
