Great site and by the way, I have some valuable property for sale (real
steal) and its only 300 feet offshore. When Lake Huron's waters fall a
few hundred feet you'd have a great spot for a hunt camp!

I'll do a trade with you if you like. I can offer a bridge in London or
a tower in Paris.

That's why the post is OT SFB.

Please adjust your newsreader to snip sigs... if you can.

The sig in your post wasnt valid, this one was but the one quoted above
was not. In slrn it shows a '?' after the '--'.

Hmm... thanks for that info. Looks like that's something else I'll have
to fix after my reinstall of Windows. But are you saying that the post
to which you replied (and this one) do have proper sig delimiters?

Lucky too it was just a reply to the banal posting of lj7, or I'd have
felt compelled to retract what I said. :)

Notice the implication, here, that either you or your news client aren't
capable of this? Alan's spent so much time as an MS-worshipper that he
can't conceive of cross-platform clients (especially those that weren't
Windows first) being as "capable" of his pet OE. :)

As for the sig delimiter, it took him weeks to get it right **with
OE-QuoteFix**. If he re-fixed it, here, in just two generations of posts,
that's a miracle. He also spent a while with this variation: an
invalid sig saying it was an invalid sig. Welcome to the jungle. :)

Don't bother, Alan -- you've been in the bozo bin so long that that line
in my score file has grown a ZZ Top beard.

Notice the the typical standard drivel emanating forth from Blinky yet
again. Blinky's spent so much time MS bashing that he's failed to see in
all the discussion, in these threads he (non)contributed to, that this
very issue he's spouting about (again) was mentioned at length by me in
the context of OE, Agent, Netscape, XNews... "Blinkered the shark" might
be a more appropriate nym I think - if he doesn't want to hear it, he'll
make damned sure he doesn't see it.

He uses his precious sig standard rant, which is *not* really an
officially adopted usenet standard anyway (so means nothing) to hide
behind when he doesn't like the truth about his MS bashing scams
exposed. Once he's looking obvious exposure and ridicule in the eye, he
leaps on the tired old sig pedantics.

He's even gone so far as to admit his use of his universal "get out of
jail" card as being fraudulent. When informed:
Ah, but Son-of-1036 is not an RFC and so carries no weight.
Click to expand...

He replies in his childlike manner "Well, it carries more weight than
your opinion."

Prior to this, he had wrongly and knowingly claimed his all-purpose
shield to be a bona fide RCF, and had used it to castigate anyone who
posted things he didn't want to hear, in his typical netcop/ netnazi
manner. He has been dubbed "Blinky the Fraud" in this group... now you
know why... at least one of the contributing reasons.
As for the sig delimiter, it took him weeks to get it right **with
OE-QuoteFix**. If he re-fixed it, here, in just two generations of
posts, that's a miracle. He also spent a while with this variation:
an
invalid sig saying it was an invalid sig. Welcome to the jungle. :)

See what I mean? ^^^^ No cigar for me for picking that one though - it's
all toooooo predictable now. And of course, the reason for me having to
point out an invalid sig delimiter in the first place, was to stop
Blinky and his bandwidth-wasting ilk from posting a followup to every
post they didn't like (e.g. exposing the latest MS world peace security
threat being nothing more than a hyped up quirk) with their standard
banal reply "your sig is broken - nar nar na nar na!" Even they realised
they'd look total idiots, repeating what was already stated for them in
the sig text.

Ah yes, the typical "let's have the last word" mentallity from the child
of the usenet. You'll notice how he proudly announces that I'm in his
too hard bin, but *still* can't resist answering my posts via a second
party. Remind you of anything? - screaming around in a tantrum from
behind the safety of the bars of the cage he so likes to rattle? I don't
even have to drag my stick along them to get a reaction these days - his
own senility is doing it all for me. ;-)

I thought I'd qualify what I asked you above, in the light of the Blinky
burst that this simple matter has generated. Naturally, the
"implication", as Blinkered put it, was nothing to do with the
capability of your newsreader or of yourself. In fact, it was *you/ your
newsreader* that *was* capable of picking this up. In fact, there was no
"implication" here at all, and I expect that you didn't see one either.

I'm afraid that Blinky is fixated on this issue (to name one of a few)
and his paranoia has grown to the extent that he sees "implications"
hiding around every corner. Best to take his rants with a grain of salt.

As to the *real reason* for the broken delimiter... all I can think is
that OE quotefix must have failed to load on that instance. I was able
to confirm what you said using XNews btw.
