Thanks for verifying my prediction.

I happen to agree with you, but I never admit it publicly.


You agree with what? I agree with him - taken out of context, because
he is talking Email. I disagree with him, because he is applying it
to USENET.


Try to understand that there was a joke buried subtly[1] in there.

[1] Honestly, I didn't realize it was so subtle.

Sorry, Monty, I accidentally posted in the wrong place. The reply was

I'll repost it more appropriately.

Haven't seen any businesses using a USENET newsgoup to conduct
business, so I will guess that you are talking Email.

The US government doesn't communicate via USENET.

P.S. I use bottom postings only to satisfy those net
nannies,
who contradict common sense.


Correct results, wrong reason.

Franklin,

Unfortunately, you can't seem to understand the differentiation
that you pointed out. The OP referred to email and that is what
I responded to; I am not making any claim that it applies to
Usenet (whether it should is an other issue).

Any statement that I am applying it to Usenet is totally
erroneous despite your assertion to the contrary.

Regards, Dan

statement.
