Letter boxes, legal requirement ?

Using two hands also makes it easier to remove your digits from the dog's jaw.

Prolly the same company that supplied my luminous sundial!

God knows.

Yebbut, a Large Feline Collider is cheap, innit (and can charge Li-ion batteries).

Oooh, I like that idea, but can we add image recognition so it fires junk mail back at the postman?

Not that difficult use the suck side of the vacuum to get your mail (inside suitable container alla Lamson Tubes) then use the blow side to send out your mail to the box.

Every house in my old patch in Somerset was called, "Beware Of The Dog".

Could do. Actually, it might be useful if I can send/receive stuff to/from immediate neighbours without any kind of postal service at all (it's a bit of a trek, and it's the middle of hunting season here right now). Maybe some arrangement of barcode scanners and valves in the pipework so that stuff could be routed to the right place?

Heck, may as well extend it into town and use it to receive groceries, dispose of rubbish etc. too...

Handling collisions might get interesting.

OK, I think I'm done ;-)

According to the illuminated bell-pushes, they're all called "Friedland".

Ahh, no, should be simple. PSMA/CD (Post Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detect) with the advantage that the collisions wouldn't usually destroy the contents of the packets. It's all laid out in 802.3 but would need some subtle reworking. Might be a new RFC should be ready by, ooh, April perhaps?

Nope, now we're done ;-)

Steady on Roger R! we are only asking if Letter Boxes are a legal requirement, we are not interested how insecure you are!

I don't suppose he cares, since this was all 14 years ago. Get a grip.

Another HomeOwnersHub dork responding to 14 year old posts. Is there a way to filter it out?

Yup, HoH injects an "Organization" header into messages it posts. So you could filter on that. You are looking for:

"Organization: NewsgroupDirect"

Don't know what filtering is permitted by Usenapp, but the thunderbird mechanism for filtering on post headers include "Organisation" ones is as described in the section on blocking posts from anon remailers:

Thanks - that's what I was looking for.

Not by the Organization header, it seems. I'll make further enquiries, but meanwhile thanks for the pointer.

You might be able to add custom headers...

Failing that, you could also block on:
