Don't you love it when someone jumps into an 8 year old post

sure ol' Jack has been scouring this group ever since hoping
someone like Marvin comes along with a solution.

Oh come on, I'm never mean to them because I've also posted an answer to an old post without first checking the date of the original post. Me and a few other folks will tease each other and anyone who isn't paying attention to the dates.
I'm away from home and my big Windows machines with real newsreader software at this time and I'm stuck using Chromie, my cute little Chromebook and the only way I can access Usenet is via Google Groups. For some reason or other, very old posts show up in Google Groups and are responded to by us hapless Chrome users and Google Groupies. ^_^

I wasn't mean, just these out of the blue posters show up to
answer a years old post and never to be seen again.

Chrome or any device accessing these groups through Google
will show the original post with original date and all the
subsequent posts.
