Go read the thread so you will understand it.
If you are going to top-post, trim all the groups except for the ****ed-up
microsoft.public ones.
I read it; I understand it. In the year and a half I've participated in
this NG I've never seen Arthur post anything like this garbage. I've
corresponded with him outside the NG and had dialogue on the NG and one of
the things he has done without fail is killfiled pests and responded to even
the worst flamer in a civil manner.
I would have responded to you outside the NG but it appears that you have
listed a phony email address. In addition, it makes no sense for someone
who claims to be making a complaint about a post to be using profanity
yourself! As for the mulitple newsgroups in you headder, I've never
encountered this in my replies to this NG before and was unaware of the
proper etiquette, but it appears that you post across multiple NG's - thus
the headder. As for the etiquette regarding top posting, when I hit the
reply button the cursor appears at the top of the previous posts and inserts
a space to begin typing the response. So sue me!
Bottom line (and bottom posted with the other newsgroups deleted) - This
wasn't Arthur's style. I don't believe it was his post, and if it was,
someone altered it.
