Apologies for offending

OK My apologies to group for the large sig and for seeming lie a
spammer. Yes, I only just realized I have to be careful of the date of
the posts and if the issue's already been resolved. Thank you for
pointing that out. The light just went on so to speak. I am interested
in Windows and enjoy working with and discussing Windows.

For now on I will use a shorter sig in this newsgroup.

For what it's worth, I'm still offended. The religious groups are over that
way. ---

Nice try. But I'm not going to defer to your bigoted discrimination
whether it be due to gender, sexual orientation, religion, profession,
or political affiliation.

You're just going to have to put up with me.

Nobody has to put up with you. We can all killfile you, and I'm on the
verge of doing it. As I said in another thread, if you don't stop
proselytizing, and don't start using the sig lines only for their
intended purpose--identifying yourself--I will.

The nice thing about Usenet is that no one has to put up with anyone.

Ken Blake: don't bother killfiling me. I'm not welcome here it seems.
I'm the newbie, I'll leave.

And for the most part, it's my fault because I've acted like a bull in a
China shop, not paying attention to post dates etc. Some of the group
members have been quick to take offence at a large sig, others just hate
my Christian sig even when made small; any mending is unlikely, so
there's no point in causing further needless ruckus.

Don't go to any effort "exposing" me because I'm not afraid to be exposed:

My major hobby is Windows and software, and I enjoy reading about and
tinkering with the operating system.

Not sure why I have got this one:

Perhaps we talking about two different things altogether? That's the beauty of these newsgroups

Uh, son, to ensure that real newsreader software like my Agent can
recognise and snip your *.sig field you need to put "-- " (dash, dash
and a space" on one line then the words on the next line. You've almost
got it but I think you missed the space.

No, he had a space at the end of his sig line. The *first* one. Note the
last line in his post is _also_ a sig delimiter but without a space.

I do know two sig delimiters confuses my version of Pan, it may also
confuse your reader. Wiretalk should fix that.

In fact you will be better off not including any signature. You are
very well known here already and any further promotion of yourself might
antagonize other users on these newsgroups.

Why do you want to promote your Christian virtues? People might think
you are a Christian fundamentalist. Is this how you what you want to be
known?

So promoting evil Linux is okay but Christian software is not? Isn't
that skating on the edge of the thinner ice?
[Linux *must* be evil as he doesn't have a version of his 'wares for
it and because it isn't Windows.]
OTOH, the sci. groups do get all irked when the Islam guy sends in
his monthly 500 lines of screed so maybe you're correct.
OTGH, he *is* advertising software so that might be considered either
as offensive spammery or as genuine entrepreneurship. Depending on how
good it is.

Plenty of people get excoriated for pushing Linux in this NG :-)

No, neither is OK. Both are off-topic for this newsgroup, and don't
belong here.

On the other hand, if once on a while someone includes a viewpoint
that Linux is better than Windows, even though I disagree, it doesn't
both me anywhere near as much as doing the same thing or something
similar in his signature on every message he posts here.

I'm far from perfect myself, and have been known to once in a while
post something off-topic. But I try not to do it too often.

Although I don't use or like Linux, I can tolerate it if it is mentioned
here in moderation but when it comes to religion, I think that should be
"exorcised" from these newsgroups. Religion should be kept indoors or
at a place of worship. Some of us are "agnostic" or "atheist" call what
you may.

Don't forget that for some, Linux *is* a religion - or at least nearly
so :-)

FWIW, I just read in today's local newspaper (San Jose, CA Mercury News)
about a revival meeting like gathering in San Jose of "a global atheist
movement called Sunday Assembly", founded in London by a British
stand-up comedian, Sanderson Jones.

The headline was "Believe it: Atheists land in Silicon Valley". The
headline writer apparently had a bit of fun...
