OK - so who is this idiot 'druck' who thinks he owns UseNet - and the MS newsgroups? (for your information, 'druck', MS newsgroups are PRIVATE groups, open to the public) Druck The fact that your precious .acorn. groups got crossposted is NOT down to me, or anyone else in this thread I think the idea is that you all have the ability to /stop/ crossposting, so of course it /is/ down to you. While it's perfectly possible for you to have chit-chat with your friends over usenet (as you have done), it would also be courteous not to post this chit-chat to groups where it is off-topic and the readership are not interested. You should certainly expect that the people on the other groups remind you that you're crossposting and ask you to stop. eg. http://www.my-newsgroups.com/SiteMap/netiquette.htm or of course point 2 in http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm that you helpfully include in your signature. I haven't set followups or reduced the crossposting because I've no idea which group you subscribe to - apologies to everyone else. |

[crosspost reset (you fibbed), since SOME people may be interested in your
thought-police attitudes] The reason I didn't remove the cross-post in the first place was that the subject matter was relevant to the group, since it appeared to originate from it. The reason I top-post is because I like to read from the top down, rather than stand on my head. Of the 4 groups in the crosspost, 3 are on the MS servers where top-posting is accepted practice (note - NOT a rule!). I do NOT appreciate thought-police emails to my addy - if you want to say something, say it in public, where people have the opportunity to comment - and have the courtesy to at least treat the recipient as a grown-up, rather than a 3-year-old. -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2004, Win9x) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's or http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/f.../Mar27pmvp.asp "Sendu Bala" wrote in message ...
