Err, polite question, but is there any special reason why you've

apparently
chosen to post directly from GG? Unfortunately doing so seems to

bugger up
the threading coz GG doesn't behave properly with follow-ups.


N. Thornton pongs... Yeah :/ Gurgle seems to be going down the
plughole lately. Google gives anominimomity, or in english, anonymity.
ISP ng access doesnt. But since its so broke I'll have to move to
another service... somewhere.

Have a good xmas!

What's the big deal with attaining that level of anonymity - do you work
part-time for MI5 or something?!! I mean, along with a large proportion
of regulars here I choose not to routinely post my full name and contat
details, but I'm not unduly fussed about anybody sussing what IP I'm
posting from!

You inconsiderate *******. Are you some sort of secret agent, who does
DIY? What is it with everyone and this aninoniminity, there was that
other bloke last year who did that, and he ****ed up the threading. GG
isn't actually 100% anononononoymous anyway, if anyone really wants to
they could fiond out who you are.

Have a good xmas!

I doubt it, I hate christmas.

Google isn't anonymous. You have to use an email address to sign up, and
that email address is used in your postings. Google also logs your IP
address and displays it in the message:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 213.107.224.12

I surmise you are an NTL internet user

Clara Mail and News for ten quid a year. Lets you use a proper newsreader,
even on AOL.

Or the free one at uni.berlin.de.

http://news.individual.net is the new name to
sign up as a subscriber I think.

Hmmm, wonder if F-Secure Internet Security Suite "complete security toolkit"
is secure enough to stop speeding bullets from irate usenauts.
