Default Is this what newsgroups have become?

Looking at your lack of context over several posts,
I would have sworn you were a newbie posting from Google Groups
--nope--you're just a newbie who is otherwise unschooled.

But I have to admit that I am rather astonished
at the conclusions certain people have jumped to.

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

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:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.e...44117801918c5c

My post then was not directed at you. This one is,
and it comments on a similar lack of basic Usenet savvy on your part
as was demonstrated by deadcarnahans.

Try harder to keep up with the class.


I dont use Google Groups, dont even know what it is. Sounds like a webpage
interface for newsgroups, two otherwise different Internet protocols. I use
my newsreader as I have for 15 years.

Maybe I am doing something differently than I did back then. Because I never
used to get this kind grief. Then again, maybe the groups have changed.

Ironic that you make the class comment. I teach part time and have been
doing it for about 7 years. Told that I am good at it by some of my
students. Are you sure that it is me, and not you, that needs the
straightening out? Other people started the "barb throwing". All I did was
to defend myself, as I have the right to do. So try to get that straight for
now on.
