Been using it for years, on a system that I rarely use (hence why logging to
the desktop is fine, even if not what I would usually do).

But I want it to do better. If the Internet is down I want a line in the log
that says:

*** Internet Down: Oct 11 2025 10:44 AM to Oct 11 2025 11:56 AM

Of course with the correct dates / times. Working on it... but curious if one
of the better coders in here can beat me to it. Or does someone have a premade
solution?

OK, with help from ChatGPT I got this:

Nobody gives a flying fuck snit.
Take your trolling elsewhere.

YOU do not care about tech, no matter what sock you use. Sure. Thanks for the
admission.

I don't care about tech

I know. And then you blame me. You are responsible for your socking and your lack of interest in tech. So why are you here -- other than to troll?

which is why you snipped what I wrote snit.
Once again you prove your dishonesty.

Here is the original version.

Message-ID: <1a20b5nb42is0.bx3c2saqj8qp.dlg@40tude.net>
"I don't care about tech that YOU pretend to be interested in just so that
you can start up another one of your mega trolls.
Take your attention seeking elsewhere."

Oh, and you think you are clever setting FUP's to alt.test.
You fail again!

Heh.
You've discovered what a dishonest, lying piece of shit snit is.
He keeps trimming what you write so he can change the meaning and context.
You really hit a nerve with this one as snit keeps posting the same edited reply and then setting the follow up newsgroup to alt.test.
Even a noob looking at the thread can see what snit is up to.
As usual, snit is his own worst enemy. He's the gift that keeps on giving.
I would offer up the suggestion to not reply directly to a snit post as
that is what most of us in acw are doing and as you can see it's driving
snit bat shit crazy.
Currently snit is attempting to set up his troll factory in cola but
failing because he is a well known troll there.
