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.

The person who "tried to set me straight" wrote,

"And 3 wrongs don't make a right (posting the same pictures 3 times
with slightly altered subject lines doesn't help). Neither does the
inappropriate use of HTML."

That wasn't an effort to be helpful -- it was a pompous rude lecture. *It
followed someone else's genuine effort to post an answer to my "P.S." about
having trouble seeing what I was trying to post. *And, my "inappropriate use
of HTML" was my unsuccessful attempt at trying that in case posting in plain
text was the reason my posts with photos weren't appearing.

Usenet is known for being rude to newcomers, . . . . ,

I am not a newcomer to Usenet. *I've been using Usenet newsgroups for more
than a decade.

. . . . . Best way to not act like an idiot is to STFU until you
figure out what's up.

Good advice. *You should try following it.

Yeah, some people have a condscending attitude and act like they own
the group. You obviously meant no harm and I don't see what you did
as a big deal. Now the spammers, that's a different story.
