At least I'm able to attack your actions, instead of arguing like a 5 year old and calling names that could apply to anyone. You see, that's the difference between arguing well, and arguing like a 5 year old - when you argue well, you attack the facts at hand and point out the flaws in the person's reasoning. When you argue like a 5 year old, you say the same thing to everyone, regardless of what's being talked about, and has no relevence to the . If you're going to accuse someone of something, at least get your facts straight. I have never once used an obscenity anywhere in these groups. Wow, for someone with an "English degree", you are sure having trouble reading. "...start with the moronic FW who deliberately..." Now, let's take a look at the definition of obscenity: (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=obscenity) 4 entries found for obscenity. ob·scen·i·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-sn-t, b-) n. pl. ob·scen·i·ties -The state or quality of being obscene. -Indecency, lewdness, or offensiveness in behavior, expression, or appearance. -Something, such as a word, act, or expression, that is indecent or lewd. -Something that is offensive or repulsive to the senses: "What had once been a gentle hill covered with lush grass turned into a brown obscenity of bare earth and smoke" (Tom Clancy). Now, let's take a look at indecent, since this definition for obscenity is a bit vauge (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=indecent): 2 entries found for indecent. in·de·cent ( P ) Pronunciation Key (n-dsnt) adj. -Offensive to good taste; unseemly. -Offensive to public moral values; immodest. See Synonyms at improper. Hmm... so calling someone a moronic f**kwit isn't offensive to good taste? Maybe in the streets of downtown New York or something. Back in the bozo-bin with you. How do I keep getting out? You've said this about 5 times now, but I somehow escape! Care to clarify? |

Sure let's start with the moronic FW who deliberately posts in HTML and post dates. You have been told Hades knows how many times to *FIX YOUR CALENDAR*, but you have failed to do so. Microsoft can - and very often do - ban deliberate - and persistent - post-daters. |

... Can you talk about other stuff execpt hardware? i don`t think Microsoft or Windows will know about it will they? Posting about, for example, why Outlook Express won't allow access to attachments obviously has nothing to do with hardware. If you post off topic, expect to get ignored or harangued by the user community that habitates the newsgroup. Posting in HTML format is usually considered a wrong format. Many users will have already configured their newsreader client to read in plain-text to avoid the fluff of HTML since it is rarely required, resulting in the HTML version of post appearing as an attachment to it. Many participants will not bother to open the HTML attachment and may, as a matter of security, never open any attachments. So don't waste HTML in posts where that formatting is extraneous fluff that is ignored, considered hazardous, or simply wastes more space in your posts for a plain-text copy and a duplicated HTML copy. In OE, you can select which format to use for e-mail and for newsgroups, and they can be different. Configure for plain-text for newsgroups, please. Also, the signature delimiter of "-- " means everything below it is your signature. Newsreaders may strip off signatures since often it is egocentric fluff, may contain links, and everything under it may get stripped out in a reply to your post (which would then also include your message). Basically you posted your question as part of your signature. Since you are using Outlook Express, and since you obviously recorded a signature which is also configured to get added to every message, you wrongly added your message *after* (and within) your signature instead of before it. |
