Hello Mary.

Were you feeling in need of care and attention?

Do I need to have a word with Spouse about this?

To email, substitute .nospam with .gl

Thanks to all of you.

I'm not lonely nor in need of a shoulder to cry on or care and attention,
it's far less interesting than that. I've tiddled with my identity and
wanted to know if it was working.

Seems to be, thanks to you all.

Just back from a wonderful anniversary celebration and recovered from the
champagne but not from the over indulgence of fabulous food. Have to prepare
for the next one now, I have five years to lose enough weight to fit into a
slinky gold lame frock.

Nice to be back :-)

alt.test or uk.test, put anything but 'ignore' in the subject line and
you should have at least one server send an auto reply to your return
address, do was it your intention to bog the ng down with one line
replies to your request from 50,000 readers ?...

LOL! You've done the same but with more words :-)

You're making a wrong assumption.

Look, I 'm not going to upset any more people by takeing up more bandwidth,
nor am I going to waste more of my time. If you lot want to do by yourself
what you're accusing me of doing go ahead and play.

No, I've tried (but seemingly failed) to inform you of the test
groups, how they work and why people should use them. :~(

The "bandwidth" arguemnt only exists in the minds of the anally
retentive percentage of usenet.

In the days of 1200 baud modems and when the reality of disk space and
memory ever getting cheaper than £1/MB was a dream in the minds of the
insane, then, yes, bandwidth was an issue. But with todays Terrabyte
storage devices and Gigabit networks and fibre optics and stuff, an
entire thread that carrys on for eternity even with non-snipping Noobs
etc etc, the "waste of bandwidth" card can not be played.

So post away and have no worries.

BTW. If you had posted a test message and you subsequently saw it appear
then why did you need to request a reply?

So what would the effect be off 100,000 people each posting a1Kb
message and 100,000 people each downloading each of the 100,000
messages then ?...

Just increasing the speed of modems etc. still means that the
bandwidth used, it's just used more quickly you oaf, what weighs more,
a Tonne of feathers or a Tonne of lead.... Doh!

Here speaketh a man who does not routinely access data on the move via
metered GPRS or GSM data links (56K or 9K6 bps, often at £1.50 / meg)

If you want real pedentry, then there is a good probability the lead
will weigh more.

GPRS?

Capped bandwidth like the Tiscali / BT etc con trick?

No, the "faster" of the commonly available ways of getting data down a
mobile phone connection...

(Standard GSM can do circuit switched dial-up at 9600bps - paid for at
standard per min call costs, the networks however also support 56kbps
GRPS "always on" packet switched data - paid for on a per kB basis. You
can get GPRS data cards for your computer that do not need a separate
phone to operate - but £40/month is not uncommon for tarrifs that let
you shift 100MB / month)

It always amuses me when some one uses the term bandwidth on the internet.
The connection is serial and the data is on/off. So how can bandwidth be
used?
Bandwidth, by its very description, would mean that more data, other
than ones and zeros could be transmitted along the telephone line.
There are many radio amateurs looking into this ng who can back me up on
the description of bandwidth. So how did bandwidth get on the internet?

Very curious

The serial down/up load time might be delayed.
This is not a broad band issue. Bits of data can only be sent on a speed
issue. Broad band allows you to send additional information on top of
the data.
Think about a TV broadcast. The frame is sent as one part of the
transmission and the rest is added into this as additional data. Now
that is braodband

Just increasing the speed of modems etc. still means that the
bandwidth used, it's just used more quickly you oaf

I didn't understand that argument. Can you expand on it please?

This one could run and run.... perhaps a new thread is in order.

than ones and zeros could be transmitted along the telephone line.

And indeed it can and is (single symbol FSK modems went out years ago).

Much depends on your definition of bandwidth:

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bandwidth

I expect that the original assumption that more bandwidth = more data
transfer capacity (al la Shannon) has evolved into a burring and re
appropriating of the term.
