What does this dialogue have to do with SP3?

Why does it require posting to three newsgroups?

If you need to continues these off topic dialogues for ever
and a day how about snipping! Also do these posts need to
microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics,microsoft.public .windowsxp.ge
neral,microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support. Surely one
group is sufficient.

Gerry, if you have been following my comments, then you know that
I DO snip the useless prior quotes as well as interleave post so
that people can connect what I'm replying to. I'm sorry if you
think I'm doing it wrong, but I seldom top post (I did do a
couple recently) and I seldom repeat all the previous testimony.

Now, what specifically are you alleging I am posting that is OT?
NOt all of what I've said, or what anyone says, is exactly on-
topic for the actual subject of the OP's thread, but that is the
way that threads evolve. There is no general MS NG for OT-style
posts but if we roll with the punches a little when people drift,
it makes life more pleasant, and any OT-ness can be quickly
ascertained and you just stop reading.

One more comment. It has been said before that sometimes people
are so ignorant of a problem they can't even ask an intelligent
question. So, if I chime into a thread with a personal
observations and somebody gives me a heads up that I'm missing
the boat, I take heed.

I suspect your issue in this thread is that there has been a LOT
of discussion from many people about the nature of the software
biz, that may the source of your angst. Don't you ever recant
stories from your youth in support of why you're experienced
enough to do what you do today? And, please feel free to exercise
your rights to ignore or plonk me if you think I am single-handed
monopolizing so many of your fav NGs.
