Yeah I guess you are right about that.* What is he talking about my
munging the "group headers"???* Is he being delusional?

Because you deleted the crosspost.* The discussion is taking place
between people in more than one group, and you deliberately cut half of
those people out.

You can't tell somebody off because the news server they connect to
doesn't happen to carry all the newsgroups you posted to. Idiot.

Many Usenet newsservers let you post to groups that they don't carry.

Apologies if that's not what you meant.

That was what I meant.
I have definitely had groups rejected when trying to reply in the past
but maybe they were unusual or non standard groups.

Why would anyone take the advice of someone who doesn't even know about
how digital transistor circuits use power?

Not everybody knows everything.

How can the R9 Nano use less electricity than the R9 280X when it's more
powerful with more transistors but the same nm process?

Completely different architecture and the RAM is running at one third the
speed. Simples.

Surely the GPU uses way more than the RAM?

And since it's the same nm process, the individual transistors must use
the same amount of power each. And there are twice as many of them.

If it's designed more cleverly is could be that on average the
transistors spend less time doing work (and more time in a static state).

You would think AMD would have mastered something like that ages ago.

Of course I can, my newsserver carries every single group. Get a decent one.

Or at least one that doesn't cry like a baby when you dare to use a group it doesn't approve of.
