Um, no, no I didn't. It would appear that he posted twice,
once with "OT" and once without. It was the without one
that I took issue. I'll have my donut now.

OE kindly did that for you, it is broken as a newsreader.

I never posted without the OT - I responded to one or more posts that had
removed the OT without putting it back so my response would show up in
the right thread.

This post is an example of that.

And I think we've beat the subject to death. All I did originally was
comment about a comic strip.

So, YOU'RE that one that started all this crap. You're hereby ordered to
become addicted to several drugs, smoke three packs of cigarettes a day, put
on 300lbs of weight from eating too much and a drink a gallon of alcohol a
day.

And, when you reach the pont that it costs the establishment too much money
to keep you alive, we will make all your activies a god given right and will
then give you free drugs, free cigarettes, free food and won't send you to
jail drunk for driving over an entire family of five.

Sound good?

We have discovered that carrying guns leads to more crime and drug usage.

Um. *yes* you (or to be more precise, your _computer_) really did.

You use "Outlook Express" as a news reader. It is extremely *STUPID* about
certain matters, and you were just victimized by it's stupidity.

OE thinks that _ANY_ sequence of two letters followed by a colon at the
beginning of a subject line is the equivalent of "" (in English), in
"some language or other", and "helpfully" suppresses that string, so that
when messages are 'sorted by subject', the original and replies are sorted
together. ('Intelligent' message ordering software uses the 'References'
header, and the message-IDs listed there to re-construct the 'conversation'
sequences. Microsoft, as usual, and instead of following the universal
practice, invented their own defective methodology to "embrace and extend"
what everybody else "does right".

It would appear that he posted twice,
once with "OT" and once without. It was the without one

NOT true. The message-ID shown in the 'References:' header of your
article identifies an article that _does_ have the 'OT:' identifier
on it.

Outlook Express *lied* to you -- you believed the lie, and acted on
the erroneous information it gave you.

While your 'intentions' may have been honorable, the fact of the matter
_is_ that you were absolutely in the wrong.

I'll have my donut now.


Sorry. All you get are 'cookies'. Unpalatable ones, at that. One more
failing of Outlook Express -- even if you don't like the taste them you
can't say "no thanks, I don't want any."

Using Outlook Express as a newsreader is a BAD IDEA(tm) for many reasons,
including the one that just bit you.

You need to discuss more gracefully. Hurt to have you ass kicked?

Your ad hominem attacks only exemplify your maturity levels here.

Please point to the occasion on which you have kicked my ass or that of
anyone else.

Some people leave the world with no option, and your practice of making
dubious statements totally unsupported by any sort of documentation
naturally leads the world to dismiss you as a low-budget troll. Sorry about
that, but that's the quality of work you're known for.

Point taken. If he were at least amusing he would serve some purpose--alas,
he's not even good for that.

Can you cite any evidence of this or is it just your imagination?

Time to let it go now and get on with the group topic.
