Sorry for any sentence fragments in my previous post - I was doing
eighteen things simultaneously and hit 'send' before I stopped to
proofread. I think the gist of it is clear enough, though!

Not at all a problem by me, I enjoyed your observations
(there was something lacking proofing ?)

Took the words right out of my mouth! And Lanwench appears to have learned
English from the same school as I.

If imhotep doesn't get it now, he never will.

Yes, there were a couple of incomplete sentences - the Former English Majors
of America will be after me, big time. I'm going into my bunker now.

I am exceedingly proud of my useless liberal arts degree

Let's see if he writes back. I did include the group he actually checks!

Ahhh . . . That may explain; the former philosophy major in me
believed in using those, elipsis, etc. to an intended effect. <g>

You could always claim you writing in a Joycian stream of consciousness
style.

Ah, but then I'd have to be persnickety, and correct "Joycean," and sternly
advise you to mind your hyphens (in compound adjectives). ;-)

We seem to have lost Mr. Hotep's attention. I will desist now!

Oh my, you truly don't understand do you??? How tired I have become
trying...

Already had that argument years ago with my prof in a lit course. My
contention was that both forms were proper. I lost as he was marking the
papers

Cool, the perhaps we will wear you down eventually.

Remember, your inability to see understanding does
in no way indicate lack thereof.

With that, I agree. You have indeed become trying!

Thanks much for the well-thought-out, inline reply to my previous, lengthy,
post.
I'm delighted that I wasn't wasting my time in my friendly attempt to
explain *everyone's*
arguments to you--and that you've carefully considered said arguments and
rebutted them with reasoned commentary that invites intelligent discourse.

You clearly write for your own amusement alone. I know a useful word to
describe solitary acts performed for one's own gratification, but this isn't
an alt. group.

Hummm....let's review this with logic (yet again). I am supposed to stop
using a perfectly valid technique that helps me reply when someone replies
to me. Yet, because your newsclient is broken, it is my fault???

Why don't you change your newsclient to one that is fully functional and you
would no longer have a problem. It is an honest question that some of you
seem to ignore answering.

You clearly write for your own amusement alone. I know a useful word to
describe solitary acts performed for one's own gratification, but this
isn't an alt. group.

Actually, I find that you clearly lack logic in your argument. I do admit
this does amuse me some.

Again, if your newsclient is broken, use another one. Then there is no
problem now is there?

Roger, you just don't have the talent....sorry.

Remember, your inability to see understanding does
in no way indicate lack thereof.

Oh Roger. How you desperately try to sound intelligent...

Imhotep

 

[imhotep]

What about the people that don't have the group to force the follow-up
to from their ISP?

Which is exactly why I set the "followup-to" a very common generalized
newsgroup. In this case "microsoft.public.security". This newsgroup just
about all newsservers carry.

By doing what you are doing, the reply will never be seen from you and
they will never be able to reply properly.

Read above...This would only be true if I set the followup-to to a
specialized, and hence non-popular, newsgroup...

I assure you, it is quite effortless
I will not bother drawing comparison to your extended rants

Of course, it has never been an issue of broken newsreader clients,
but of usage thereof.

Now, I dare you to meaningfully explain how that response, I guess
you deem it a reaonable explaination, is any except a self-centered
viewpoint exponding a self-centered approach.

 

[imhotep]

Yes. You have not read your "user manual" and choose to blame your problems
in other...

viewpoint exponding a self-centered approach.

The only thing self centered is you complaining because you newsreader is,
dare I say, inadequate. Rather than talking about the topic of this thread,
you choose to steer it in a different direction. That is the only self
centered act I see...

Hummmm... You are a MVP but rather than helping people here with security
issues you choose to act like a clown. How exactly did you get your MVP
status? Did you write spyware apps too?

[imhotep]

I am sure looking like a clown comes quite easy to you...

hahahaha....

I frequently email many of your post to my friends. We all get a good laugh
from you...

Keep the material flowing, Roger.

[Roger Abell [MVP]]

problems

Again, it is totally the result of you choice to use the
follow-ups in the way that you do which people are
objecting to. It is your actions, not nntp nor any one
implementation at issue.

Right. And when you stop reading "your" posts you may
start to realize how childish you sound saying such.

You do perhaps need to get out more Im and discover,
no - not other posts, but the importance of holding other's
values as important.

Cheers, anyway

Really, why is it that my "just works"??? No problems no matter how you
post...please explain this.

Again, "ra", you have done nothing but hijack this post and other, which had
a serious topic, and turn it into a discussion about your broken
newsreader. An you say I am childish? Hahahahahahaha....

Again, I challenge you to help people with their security problems rather
than hijack them...
