just for your limited mental capacity to understand
html has always been welcome in MICROSOFT news groups. "M.I.5¾" wrote in message ... "mikeyhsd" wrote in message ... If anyone deserves a spanking, it's you. You should not be posting in anything other than plain text. Not every news reader works with rich text or HTML --------------------------- for shame you failed to issue a virtual spanking for failing to post to a vista news group. are you finally learning it is more important to provide help. |

Whether or not HTML is welcome is rather a moot point, since anyone
concerned with on line security reads news (and mail) in text-only. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est mikeyhsd wrote: just for your limited mental capacity to understand html has always been welcome in MICROSOFT news groups.

Not every news reader works with rich text or HTML You need a new newsreader. Time marches on. Not many use a typewriter anymore. It's time to spruce up the old newsgroups with some nice text, pictures, etc. Even for those of us who use a newsreader that *can* render html, many of us choose to turn the facility off, because of the risk of the html carrying malware. Besides, most of us here are interested in content, not form. HTML does nothing useful for me in Newsgroup postings. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

"M.I.5¾" wrote
"Rock" wrote "M.I.5¾" wrote "infoseeker"wrote Hi, Where can I post a question regarding Windows Vista Home Premium? I believe that my question is simple . . . Does Windows Vista Home Premium software have a partitioning utility? I wish to partition a 320GB drive and Norton PartitionMagic is not compatible (according to Prashanta.Kumar of their tech support department in some other country). Run PartitionMagic from bootable media. Vista doesn't get a chance to prevent it from running. Vista has a problem with partitions created by PM, so it's not just an issue of whether it will run under Vista. Don't use PM for Vista partitions until they release a version that is Vista compatible. With my ever increasing catalogue of Vista problems, this comes as no surprise - though I don't fully understand why. My experience with Vista has been good, and btw, my catalog of problems with XP is quite extensive. Why would this surprise you? Vista is a new OS, PM is legacy software. System level utilities are frequently in this kind of situation. They need to be updated for the new OS. -- Rock [MS-MVP User/Shell] |

It also uses vastly more server space, and many servers insist on text only. Your other mistake is to use your plain unmunged e-mail address in your message. This betrays you as someone who is unfamiliar with even the basic principles of computer security. I just hope you have a use for all that viagra. |

my method of posting, and my choice of email address is MY BUSINESS.
if you do not like it. then there is a very simply solution. SEND ME A VERIFIABLE CASHIERS CHECK FOR THE COST OF MY COMPUTER AND ITS ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT AND INTERNET SERVICE. then I would not be happy to conform to your weird methods. or conform to them.

Hi Mickey:
Ordinarily, nobody would care if you want to expose your computer to spam and the dangers inherent in HTML email and news posts. After all, it's your computer, and you are free to do to it whatever you like. That's part of what makes America a great country, right? However, for example, the bots that may infect your computer will infect the computers of other people who aren't as bright as you and don't know how to shield themselves from internet threats. So why not lend a helping hand to your fellow computer users by adopting safe and sensible computing practices (and urging others to do the same)? --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est mikeyhsd wrote: my method of posting, and my choice of email address is MY BUSINESS. if you do not like it. then there is a very simply solution.

XP Home - - NOT . . . Windows Vista Home Premium
Well . . . it has surely been interesting reading all the bully fighting
that ensued following my initial post. Regardless, I just ordered two (2) new PC's and they are both absent of Windows Vista (any version). After spending around 20 hours reading all the posts regarding partitioning and other Vista maladies at the MS Vista newsgroup website, I decided to put Vista on hold for a couple of years before making the jump. Till then, XP Home is my new PC's O/S of choice. Regarding Acronis Director Suite 10, it was truly difficult getting Acronis to fully answer questions that are not clearly addressed or mentioned in their FAQ's. One answer included Acronis' Yuri Sotnikov stating that I would "...be able to convert your Windows Vista Operating System from FAT32 to NTFS file system, but not vice versa." Receiving pre-sales support from Acronis via email (where I would expect them to be fully accountable for what they state) is extremely difficult and the results were mediocre at best. It took seven (7) emails sent via their website to get complete answers to three (3) simple questions, and they never fully answered the 3rd. It should not be difficult to imagine that Acronis will not receive any business from me. Well, I have a few other thoughts, but I do not want to leave the door open too wide for those who may berate me as they do others. Thanks to all of you whose generosity directed me to resolve issues associated with my initial posting. Regards, Grant "infoseeker" wrote in message ...

It would cost you nothing to post correctly. You can either conform to the accepted standards or be ignored. HTML adds absolutely nothing to your post other than a totally unnecessary flashy sig line. Has your teacher not taught you about proper netiquette yet? If you insist on posting in HTML and risking sending malware (even if not deliberately) then the killfile beckons. |
