You're out of line, son. Usenet is not for the weak. This is a friendly
group, but you might get more **** than you can swallow if you don't
mind the rules. I was tempted to ream you a new one myself for three
consecutive posts with attachments.

First, dippo, I am not your son. At 60, I may even be older than you. And
I am not weak.

Did you read what I wrote? I wrote that I did not know why what I was
trying to post wasn't showing up (for me). I wrote that in case somehow my
posts were showing up 3 times for others when I couldn't see them (I still
do not see on my news server). Someone explained what the problem was, so
now I know, and I did what they suggested. and it worked (I used a URL link
instead of a direct attachment).

I read what you wrote, and saw all three of your posts with attachments.
And someone tried to set you straight, and instead of apologizing and
learning from your mistakes, you saw fit to respond with a snide remark.
That was more out of line than the mistakes, IME.

Usenet is known for being rude to newcomers, and there's a reason --
it's because newcomers have a very annoying habit of not doing any
research into usenet protocol. As lawless as it is, there are
guidelines, and those guidelines are sometimes defended with extreme
prejudice.

At the moment, some of us are a bit edgy because of the severely
retarded crowd that stumbled in here from google, (I'm not referring to
the spammers) who collectively lack one clue about where they are or
what they're doing.

So don't act like an idiot and maybe if you're lucky, you won't get
treated like one. Best way to not act like an idiot is to STFU until you
figure out what's up.
