I only see one post from Mike Easter in this thread, and no reply to it.


The split thread business in this thread resembles the struggle between
top-posters and untrimmed bottom-posters.

As an anti-x-poster, in my efforts to minimize the off-topicality of
what I consider excessive or inappropriate x-posting, I typically delete
those cross-posted groups which I don't subscribe or to which a message
thread is OT for a x-posted group.

Consequently, most of my messages in this thread were posted only to
alt.computer.workshop; except a message which I felt a thread
participant was 'coming from' the windows -10 group, ie you, for which
I allowed the x-post configuration which included win-10 to stand.

I feel that BD and some others x-post too much. Those of us who delete
x-posts we don't agree, as described above, contribute to the problems
of thread splitting. The basic /cause/ of thread splitting is
'fundamentally' caused by the x-posters and 'executed' by
anti-x-posters like me.
