Much better. Shame the video feeds weren't correct last night.

So the vehicle will be in space for millions of years.

What a stupid piece of vandalism *that* is. They could have launched
something useful.



It's a good job he's not in the UK as he'd have a hell of a job
explaining to the DVLA why his car didn't need the VED paying.

Statutory Off Planet Notice?


I was wondering about that - "Exporting the car then are we Sir. Where
to?" g

He's not so much exported the car as put it into a parking orbit.

Mmmm he's not the only one launching things into the middle of
nowhere!

Looks to me like JbG contributed to the "OT: Falcon heavy rocket
launch" thread but renamed his post omitting the "OT:"

Are they? They seem to slot in underneath the followed up post ok. I'm
using Pan 0.139 in Linux Mint 17.1. I know there has suddenly been a
spate of later versions during the last year or so but I haven't seen any
in the Linux Mint repositories which is why I'm sticking with the 'Devil
I Know' for the time being.

The Subject is correctly named after the other follow ups unlike Brian
Gaff's newsreader client which would get tripped up by over-writing the
"OT: " prefix with " ". Incidentally, I've just spotted another two
examples of this with Davey's and Martin's retitled follow up posts
upthread. I think this is a question better directed at Martin seeing as
how he started the 2nd sub-thread chain that I've replied to. :-)

It wasn't my news client that renamed the subject incorrectly, it was
Martin's news client that replaced the "OT: " prefix with the " "
rather than prefixing his follow up with " ".

My news client, as the subsequent 8 follow ups before, all correctly
repeated the subject line which was already possessed of a " " prefix
(but now sans the "OT: " prefix which Martin's follow up had stripped out
of the OP Subject line).

*NEXT!*

Not quite so fast ...

Subject lines aren't the mechanism proper for grouping messages into
threads in a decent client, and yours seems to have stripped the
references header in two of your replies yesterday (to Adrian Brentnall
@ 19:02 and Martin Brown at 13:59) hence creating two new threads as
far as most here are concerned.

FYI, I'm using Pan 0.141 and no one has mentioned any threading problems.

(I've been using it for about 9 months, I think)
