Ah, there's that ole "jumping to conclusions" habit of yours rearing
it's ugly head again.

You're about as logical as a screen door on a submarine, Pops. First you
claim to use googlegroups because it's your only option while at work.
Now you claim, uh, what are you claiming, anyway?

Anyone who would use a web-based usenet interface when other options are
available is just plain tetched. You started to explain your reasons for
doing so several times, but kept trailing off with a "never mind,"
likely because, uh, there are no valid reasons to do that.

Please, enjoy your ground-plug induced trance. Here's a little weekend
riddle for you to muse on: How many people are killed by electricity in
their homes every year?

Hint: Take the number of people who die by falling down while walking
*on level ground* every year, and divide by fifty or a hundred. That
should get you in the ballpark.

OK, it now appears that you just respond without even reading (or
perhaps it's without understanding) what I post. I don't even know
why you brought up ground plugs in this latest response. Not once, in
any of my posts did I even enter the discussion about whether
grounding a computer made any dfference. In fact, the closest I came
to entering the discussion was *agreeing* with you that people are not
getting electrocuted by their computers. Did you even read that?

I commented on 2 things:

1 - I said that I think the OP is either a lousy technician or a
troll.
2 - I responded when you asked to be shown the AC wires in a computer
and said that most cases are non-metallic.

How do you infer from my pointing out that there are AC wires in the
power supply, and that neither of us know the percentage of metallic
cases to non-metallic cases, to mean that I think the computer should
be grounded? You asked to be shown where the AC wires were and I
answered. You said the case "was most likely not metal" and I
disagreed. No where in either of those statements is there any hint at
my opinion as to the need for, or purpose of, a ground.

You started to explain your reasons for (using googlegroups)
several times, but kept trailing off with a "never mind," likely
because, uh, there are no valid reasons to do that.

No, I trailed off with a "never mind" because as I tried to point out,
I have no need to justify my use of any given technology to you. You
must have missed the underlying meaning that there is indeed a reason
for using the same technology at home that I am *forced to* at work.
(There's a huge hint in that last statement if you care to look.) I
have my reasons, which you may not find valid, but I don't need to
explain them to you in fine detail. Bottom line: I don't need your
approval on anything I do, including how I access newsgroups.

BTW, you didn't respond to the specific request I made.

Please explain how this post would be different if it was posted from
Agent or NewsPro or OSXnews or UsenetGrab.
