A great app - it does absolutely everything that I expected of it! In a
world of bloatware NaDa is quick to dload and there's no install required.

An absolute 'must have'. Will likely rival IrfanView in popularity once it
catches on.

Why do both of you assume that everyone in the universe knows what this
program does? Would it be too much trouble for you to actually provide a
description of some sort?

Now I'm no expert, but generally you can find descriptions of
applications at the homepage. This in and of itself is not
terribly helpful...however, when there's a link to the homepage in the
post, it makes it much easier to

A.) Go to the homepage and

B.) Read the description

I would have imagined that the name of the program would provide all the
description necessary. What does the word NADA suggest to you?

Wakey Wakey!

Are you aware that a lot of people are on a dial-up connection, and
cannot afford to connect more than a few times a day to download mail
and news to read offline?

NADA. National Automotive Dealer's Association. Car dealers. Blue
books.

The whole post suggests to me that somebody could have copied and pasted
SOMETHING from the web site referenced that would have given people SOME
idea of what this "half of nothing" program's supposed to do...

Then when they next connect for mail and news, they can go to the site
if they're really all that interested.

By the way, if you're going to snip a post, please leave the
attributions in tact, and give some indication that you're snipping,
as opposed to just cutting off half of a sentence?
 
OK. You talked me into going and looking at the home page.

Now, what is it??

The description looks like something a grade school kid would write. IE,
talks a lot but doesn't say anything?

Can we assume that OT signifies it is a silly spoof?

How can people know if they are interested or not if there is no
information at all in the message?

Do you expect thousands of readers to look up hundreds of unexplained
links on the web to find out if it is about something they are
interested in?

That would take hours of on-line activity every day just because the
author of the message is too lazy to include even the most elementary
information in his message.

I remove everything which is not necessary to read to understand the
reply. It is something you could learn too.

You have obviously already learned how to copy and paste links so I
guess you could learn how to write readable messages too.

Yes - you should assume that.

NaDa as in Zip, Nada, Nothing.

The description is written to be factual. When you're writing something
about nothing doesn't it make sense that it sounds like it's written by a
child (or a politician?).

Cheers.

I don't know...that interests me...

Hundreds of links? *looks at the original post* Hmm...maybe my math
is off, but I see one...

Here's how I see it. If you are interested by the message, then you
visit the site. If you aren't, you don't. It's not that complex a
concept...
I remove everything which is not necessary to read to understand
the reply.

None of which changes the fact that it is poor netiquette to strip
attributions, and trimming posts without indicating that you've done
so.
It is something you could learn too.

Thanks, but I'm more than happy with my posting style--which is to
say, I snip what isn't needed, leave what is, and also leave proper
attributions and let people know when I post.

I'm sorry, what's unreadable about this message? Hmm...looks readable
to me...haven't had any other complaints that my posts aren't
readable...perhaps there's a language barrier going on where people
who use Outlook Express aren't smart enough to read my posts?

Hmm...I guess we'll never know...

The bottom line is this was a hoax post and a complete waste of
bandwidth.
