I didn't say so. I asked a question. So is it an alpha male type situation 
or something as lame or are you just in a stroppy mood coz the vibes I am 
picking up from you are as negative as electrons?

You asked several questions.


So is it an alpha male type situation

> picking up from you are as negative as electrons?

And there are several more.

All of them are your own personal ramblings, even though you've couched them 
as 'questions'.

That may be why Halla's response is a raised eyebrow.

Heh, that's quite a good line, although if I may gently point out you

No, it wasn't an insult. It was a whatchamacallit. A rude and terse

happen for another 50 years. :)

Ah, I can relate to that. Was worried at work today that I may have to
grab the books and haul them all to a higher shelf, except the nice
newly re-thatched roof decided to drip, too, so it would have been
sort of pointless. 

<obligatory grumble> Didn't we used to get summers? </og> Still, I'm
feeling quite nostalgic because this 'heavy showers followed by damp
evenings with one or two lazy raindrops' reminds me of every family
holiday I ever went on and the phrase 'you should have been here last
week...'

I keep leaving this unread to respond to, then I keep typing and
deleting. I think my response will be limited to this explanation of
why I haven't responded in a different manner. ;-)

Yeah really. They put the sigs in. Why should the follow up poster be

Expecting other people to clear up your mess is not good manners.

Indeed, and it is *your* non standards compliant Usenet client that is

No. it's the people putting the sigs  in that are causing the mess.

Bollocks is it.. the .sigs are all standards compliant and a standards 
compliant newsreader will automagically cut them.. the reason for you 
having to manually cut them is that *your* Usenet clent is not 
standards compliant, so it is *your* client that is the problem..

Are you suggesting that Microsoft's OE  puts the sigs in?

The sigs that people put in you mean? My point is made.

Actually It's Microsoft's client, not mine and it's the end user's right to 
choose what lient they want to use and not yourposition to tell them what 
clients they can use. I use OE because I like it and if you don't like that 
then that;s your problem.

You really DO like to make yourself look thick, doncha. *bemused grin*

FoR, have you actually been and read the Posting Guidelines?

Here, have some links.

The thing about guidlines is that they are "guidlines".

Usenet conventions and Usenet-compliant newsreaders developed together. 
Newsreaders were designed to accommodate the current poster's sig and remove 
that of the previous poster, because sigs were an anticipated and expected 
part of posts. It seems that you want to participate in Usenet, and be 
accepted, while at the same time announcing constantly that you won't 
conform to Usenet practice or guidelines. I think you've confused genuine 
individuality with what the LJ retail comms call 'speshul little 
snowflakes' - the person who wants all the advantages of the supermarket, 
but thinks they can demand a refund with no receipt because that's "their 
problem" for having rules.
