At least Miss P. Tick has the common courtesy to quote the thread she
is
responding to.
As it stands, your post is like a fart in the wind...no one knows where

it
came from.

Bobby


Well you are entitled to your opinion, but as my reply was part of a sub
thread directly linked to the original comments of Miss Perspicacia Tick,

I
would have thought that that anyone with even the most modest amount of
common sense would have known what I was referring too.


What you obviously don't know, is that this newsgroup is replicated over
THOUSANDS of servers throughout the entire world, and because of that
there
may be timing differences, lost posts etc etc. Also, if someone sees your
post as the first post in the thread, (which happens quite often), as you
didn't quote the post you were replying to, he wouldn't have a clue what
you
are on about.

It is Usenet custom and convention, to quote the post you are replying to.

Have a look here for more info:

Chelsea:
It's obvious from your postings that I've come across on this and related
newsgroups that you're a knowledgeable person generously willing to offer
help to those who are in need of personal computer technical assistance.
There's no question that you are making a valuable contribution in this
area.

But please, take Gordon's advice to heart, i.e., when responding to a query,
quote at least pertinent portions of the query and/or statements to which
you are responding. It's unnecessary that you include *all* the queries and
comments from past postings relative to the thread -- just the portion(s)
that bear upon the issue that you're responding to. Please understand that
many of us may be unfamiliar with the pertinent details of the thread and
even though we're not a party to the query or subsequent responses, we could
profit from your insights on the subject at hand. But having no context,
we're left somewhat adrift.

As to Miss P. She ain't no lady, that's for sure. More's the pity, since
(judging from a number of his/her postings) she (or he) displays from
time-to-time a fair amount of expertise in the subject-matter being
discussed. But she/he obviously gets some sort of a "kick" out of her/his
somewhat nasty, off-the-wall comments and how they engender subsequent
responses (such as this!). C'est la vie, I guess.

Hi Anna ,
thanks for a constructive set of remarks, but quite frankly I don't need to
post here, I don't get paid for doing it and if you guys want the likes of
the charming Mr Candy helping you so be it. I'm not going to waste my time
responding any more I'll stick with fee paying clients and the critics can
go to the devil. I would have thought that people who ask questions and then
don't have the common decency to acknowledge respondents are guilty of a far
greater level of rudeness than anything I could possibly do. Anyhow thats my
last comment thread closed as far as I'm concerned. Oh for the morons who
might think of spamming my email address I created it just for use on the
newsgroup. You can post to it but no one will read your pearls of wisdom.

Usenet is a rough and tumble place. You need a thick skin. It is
discouraging reading some of the rude, obnoxious posts but there are enough
useful posts to make the msnews server a good resource. Personally I get a
lot of good troubleshooting tips on here so I don't mind giving back a bit
of help despite the flack from some of the regulars who seem to do little
but call down anyone who doesn't agree with their notion of how computers or
the English language work.

Chelsea:
Please, for the good of us all, reconsider your attitude. The Usenet (and
God knows these newsgroups dealing with XP issues), needs persons like
yourself who are technically proficient, willing to share their expertise
with others in need and express themselves clearly and authoritatively. Lord
knows there are too many of the other kind! I shudder at some of the
half-baked and frequently wrong "solutions" promulgated by well-meaning
(hopefully!) responders that are given to some poor soul who (God help
him/her) may implement them. So we need people like you.

And yes, it is discouraging to learn that when we freely give of our time &
effort in trying to help someone with their problem, we frequently never
hear from that person again. No thank you. No indication whether our
information helped or hindered. Nothing.

But it's got to be a labor of love for us, no? The remuneration certainly
stinks. So we derive some degree of inner satisfaction in helping (or trying
to help) others, particularly when we think of the frustrations we faced
when we first got into this personal computing business.

And certainly don't let those rude/obnoxious people drive you out. After
all, they're nothing more than a tiny minority and as such, little more than
pin-pricks. The important thing is not to respond to their goading, hateful
messages. It's from the responses they receive that they derive their sickly
pleasure. Don't let the *******s win.

I would have thought that that anyone with even the most modest amount of
common sense would have known what I was referring too. I suspect you knew
what I was talking about but you saw a chance to jump in and add what you
thought was a clever comment. I personally think the practice of repeating
the contents of previous post within a thread is just a waste of
bandwidth. People who really want to help will read the thread starting at
the beginning. I normally respond on Expert Exchange where the rudeness
that seems to happen here is more or less absence-that might be because
its a subscription service and the more moronic contigents cannot post,
but Bobby when I see you provide a technical response to a question, even
if its wrong, I will start to respect your views.

Chelsea

Well, since you refuse to do a simple thing like quote at least part of the
thread, I won't bother reading any more of your posts. You are now an elite
member of my killfile. Someone that truly cared as much as you would have
us believe would quote...

Bye!

Hello Anna,
Thank you very much for your post and the nice things you said. I have
changed my mind about contributing here and your post helped me to remember
that 99.9% of the people here are decent nice people who you could happily
meet in real life. In response to your comments as well as Kerry I will post
an edited version of the original question so that people not using the
Microsoft server can follow what is going on. I must confess I never read
those things myself, but if that is what it takes to avoid the abuse dished
out by David Candy (can you imagine a more inappropriate surname for
someone?-sweet and nice-I think not)then so be it. Like you I quite like to
give something back to folks who would not normally pay for consultant
services. I actually do not care much about personal abuse-I am secure
enough to deal with that-but yesterday was a very emotional day here in the
UK and those obscene remarks made by Candy really upset me. Anyway thanks
again Anna and also the people who emailed me to whom I will write
seperately.

Hi Kerry,
thanks for what you have said. I've grown a thicker skin overnight and have
decided to stick around. Anyone who doesn't like that then TOUGH
When I post I tend to address what I say by name to the person having the
problem and I must confess I don't give much thought to people casually
reading the posts and that is probably a mistake, so I'll give a little
synopsis of the thread as is the convention.

It is a little sad that this thread has attracted more posts than any I have
ever been involved in. Some people were distinctly unpleasant yesterday and
it is a little alarming weirdos' like that are out there-they really should
get a life-computers are for business and entertainment, they are not a
replacement for a normal life and obcessives like David Candy and
NoNoBadDog! should get themselves real world relationships assumming anyone
is tasteless enough to have them.

Thanks again Kerry

Hi Chelsea and Anna too.

Sorry for jumping in and also a little late, should have done it yesterday
but as they say (at least here where I live) "better late than never" and
yesterday was a mess with all the things going on in London. I have
relatives there too but they are okay.

It is good to see that people here can share their knowledge without being
abusive and so...I am glad you, Chelsea, changed your mind and will
contribute with your knowledge. Good that Anna (amongst others) "talked" you
into the right decision. I am not contributing so much myself, here at
least...I am mostly in the Swedish NG but I am often here to broaden my
knowledge and this place is a good source for that matter.

Thanks and have a nice day (despite all sorrow)

Gunilla.

Hi Chelsea and Anna too.

Sorry for jumping in and also a little late, should have done it yesterday
but as they say (at least here where I live) "better late than never" and
yesterday was a mess with all the things going on in London. I have
relatives there too but they are okay.

It is good to see that people here can share their knowledge without being
abusive and so...I am glad you, Chelsea, changed your mind and will
contribute with your knowledge. Good that Anna (amongst others) "talked"
you into the right decision. I am not contributing so much myself, here at
least...I am mostly in the Swedish NG but I am often here to broaden my
knowledge and this place is a good source for that matter.

Thanks and have a nice day (despite all sorrow)

Gunilla.



Hi Gunilla,
thank you for that I appreciate it and totally agree this is a good place to
learn . I particularly like the sometimes obscure web references that people
post as some of those sites are real gems of knowledge and I daily learn
something new.

Thanks again

Chelsea

What don't you understand about the fact that others cannot see the whole
thread. If you want to post here quote the thread. All of us used to be nice
to people all the time. But MS decided top flood the group with idiots that
interfere in the running of the group and use free labour here rather than
pay their own staff.

Before one had to have a minimun of knowledge to find the group. Now it's in
Help.

Hopefully you approve now that I am posting the relevant part of the thread,
David. It's not my concern that Microsoft does not have staff here although
I do think a Moderator would be useful. My experience of paid Microsoft
support is that it isn't always that great so even if Bill Gates had support
staff here that wouldn't guarantee perfection. As for what you said
yesterday it wasn't a case of not being nice, more a matter of being
personally offensive and your remarks on the bombings were to be honest
sick. People being blown to pieces is not an issue to rant about in a
newsgroup and you should be ashamed for having done that. I hope you were
more respectful after Bali?

I thought bali was a fair thing. If countries like my own kill people =
all over the world to get a tick from america then they deserve what =
they get. I just stay away from likely attack areas. I last worked in a =
skyscraper on Sept 11, 2001. I don't go to the underground stations =
anymore.

Did I take up arms and overthrow the Australian government. No I didn't. =
Therefore I'm guilty too.

But what is sickening about London is Bush and Blair and the hypocrisy =
they sprout. If I was leading a country in an illegal aggressive war I =
would have taunted Al Queda - "is that the best you can do?" not give =
them emotional satisfaction and seeing the emotional effects of their =
actions. But Blair is more concerned with votes.

Blair's crap about how freedom fighting won't work forgets the 1770 war =
(loyalist areas were terrorised till they changed sides), Palistine in =
the 1940s, and many others.

If the deaths in london upsets you then stop waging war. Noone gets =
sympathy from me for acts of war. If it was an accidental thing I'd be =
upset. With sept 11 I was so angry when the second airline hit assuming =
for a minute or so it was inept air traffic control, once I twigged I =
thought it was a fair enough thing.

Those who live by the gun ...

If it turns out out be the IRA I will be upset. The britsh are in the =
right (as far as one can be in civil war). I see them as mediators in =
Nth Ireland (at least these days).

But it's likely to be the rewards of murdering people all over the =
world.
