As it should have been. Microsoft Answers is not the place to post copied content from a forum (AnnexCafe) that is private property per its owner and Terms of Service. This entire thread should also be deleted by the appropriate (or any) forum moderator. = Winston had been caught out manipulating posts by me and Mr Jones. https://www.phillipmjones.net/ He thought he was too clever to ever be caught - but he was! ;-) He should hang his head in shame .... and admit to the folk who trust him to keep them safe that it's all one great big scam. -- David B.

Whuich means getyting a new2 OS, and finding that hal my software won't run on it. I also have a couple of XP-era machines with fairly low resources, One of them is a Dell laptop I inherited from a friend when he got a newer laptop. It has a 2006 BIOS, a 600 MHz 32bit Pentium M cpu, 1 G ram, ancient IBM graphics. I don't use its XP installation to go online, but I still use XP for 'stuff'. Its previous 'operational' OS was a linux Mint 17.3 XFCE for online activity. When that support ran out, I moved on to MX linux, now at 18.3 which is also XFCE DE. It also runs fine and securely. The other one is a Compaq desktop also 2006 BIOS which is stronger, w/ 2G ram, 64bit AMD at 1000 MHz, NVidia gfx. Its browser is an 'expired' Chrome 49.0; but I don't use that to 'surf' but only to access a specific site. I guess my point in an XP group, not a linux one, is that we should use our old hardware 'very carefully' and linux is a useful solution, but old Win OSes have a place. I also have a Vista-era laptop w/ 2008 bios, 2G w/ 64bit 800 MHz AMD cpu. It can run lean v of Win7 and of course various linux. -- Mike Easter |

David B. wrote: Mike Easter wrote: dogagentÂ* - da- & myplugbox - mpb- news are the same place. Why do they have different Body lengths and SHA references, Mike? That isn't important in this discussion.Â* The important thing is that unlike web sites in which the NAME/path is (usually/ most often/ but not necessarily) essential to a web server, in the case of a news server, the server is (actually) accessed at/by its IP.Â* So, if two nntp servers have the same IP address, then the same server is answering the client. The server at 212.56.88.149 answers as myplugbox.com on port 119 and gives the server software v. and says posting is OK (to me). Final URL http://www.myplugbox.com/ Serving IP Address 212.56.88.149 http://www.dogagent.com/ Serving IP Address 212.56.88.149 e-s is also comparable to the da & mpb server in that if you access the e-s server w/o user/pass you will see some (small) subset of the groups carried, ie the e-s groups only.Â* Similarly, if you access the da/mpb server, you will see the subset of the groups which provide access w/o login, but you will NOT see all of the groups, such as pizzazz. I do see 19 groups. I expect you see 16; don't count anything which is a name of a group family but isn't actually a group, such as fun/ fun.seniors/ fun.seniors.over50.Â* That's one group over50.. Apart from Pizzazz, which other groups are not shown to me? I don't know that.Â* 16 groups are shown to 'everyone' (no user/pass).Â* I don't have any special credentials. Here's a list of the groups I CAN see: https://imgur.com/gallery/Xt9uwtL Are they the same as those which YOU see? In order to see groups which limit access, you have to give a user/pass and that requires some communication process by which you and a moderator arrive at a user/pass to see the user/pass restricted groups. How would you feel about introducing me to the moderator of the Pizzazz group so that I may request to join? Absolutely not.Â* You are persona non grata around there.Â* They don't want your input,Â* I think in any group, much less the private ones.Â* I expect/suspect that if you would try to post you would probably get a request for user/pass in any group including u2u. That's the long-standing puzzle for me. Excluding whatever dear '...winston' has to say about matters, which other individuals have a 'problem' with me? I've never tried to cause anyone any harm. Are you aware that I have no problem whatsoever with other Annexcafe refugees - those that are here on the Facebook photography group:- https://www.facebook.com/groups/Anne...owcaseMembers/ Maybe some of our group members are posters on the Dogagent newsgroups. Perhaps I'll ask them! -- David B. Devon, UK |
