Looking at your lack of context over several posts,

Now I see why Fields was having such a difficult time
trying to back-annotate your posting.

I wasn't having a difficult time at all, and I certainly wasn't
trying to back-annotate anything. Henry was bitching about how
cruel Usenet can be and I responded to that post. Simple.

For those not able to use their newsreaders properly
to determine who is responding to whom,
here is the Google Groups (PlaySkool) transcript of that thread:

It's still unclear. Google groups is an abortion designed to make
whoever uses it think that they're actually on Usenet. They're not,
of course, but getting to that realization is part of their users'
education.

It's kind of like learning to ride a bicycle, where the bicycle is
Usenet and Google groups is like training wheels.
