(Loosing OE would help as well)


Don't be so boring.

Advising someone to ditch OE would seems like good advice for any number
of reasons. It is the number one vector for email mailware on the planet,
and as a newsgroup reader it has a number of limitations - loosing message
threading due to (apparently) differing posting times being just one of
them.

I - and, I suggest - MOST people who use the internet use MS. That means
it's successful. Why is it successful? Because it works. It does what I want
and I don't have a problem with what you say.

And learn to spell.

Learn to spell? I would love to. Not sure what prompted that comment since
I can't actually see anything wrong with the original post.

There's a difference between 'lose' and 'loose'.

You used the wrong version in your previous as well as the above post.

I rarely criticise posters' spelling, although, I reckon, most people don't
give the care to spelling, grammar and punctuation as they give to, say,
their personal appearance. In this case I consider that I was justified. If
you can criticise others' choice of utility you're leaving the field open to
criticism of the way you post.

The damning of OE by posters IS boring in that it's a constant moan. We know
how the moaners feel about OE, we choose to continue using it. Your
criticism isn't going to change that, in the same way that my criticism of
your spelling isn't going to change your use of it, so you might as well
stop being boring and go back to being your usual witty, scintillating and
exciting self :-)

The same applies to me of course.
