Oh, Figgy, I know all about your undercover, super secret, USAF spyware
work. And besides, I only got most of the gurus, there are a couple here in
the US. Besides, they weren't insulted, the Brits have terrific humor, er,
humour. Heck, they invented Monty Python and, uh, er, that fat guy that is
always chasing women.

Vulcan......hmm. My mind is failing me. What was the delta winged jet
that
used to come to my Air Show in '82? The pilot (lecherous old coot) only
came over to pick up chicks!! He eyed my secretary (Elayne) and I told
him
in no uncertain terms that she was *off limits*!! (VBG)

Back to cleaning out the emails. Durned if I didn't hear from someone
today
who has reams of letters written by my Cumberland ancestor.....and she is
phoning me tomorrow. YAHOO!! Keeping me from my cleanup tho.

Your state-of-mind notwithstanding, that's the one, Figgs; low-altitude
pass over Lake Ontario followed by a bank and climb.

Ah.......thanks. I wasn't sure if I was remembering it right. You must be
*real old* too. (G) It was a stately one, wasn't it. Back in the days
when the Concorde would quietly come around the Island airport.....what a
sight that was.

I was watching Rick Mercer go up with the Snowbirds. I turned a ride down
(duh)......but apparently I would have lost my lunch. They fib and tell you
no rolls or loops, grin. Bet I wouldn't have lost it tho.

(you'd see the aircraft profile at what seemed eye-level from an
embankment on shore with everybody cheering, then they hit the AB, and
as it went through a slow, stately climbing turn, everybody's jaw
dropped at the sight of those *magnificent* delta wings... swear you
could hear the air roaring from under them)

Umm, I think Benny Hill is now in the Heavenly Comedy Store. Funny man,
tho. Left all his money to some strange thing.....cat shelter? Can't
remember that one either. Did you ever watch the *Two Ronnies*??

"Motion sickness" is an inner-ear thing (I think). But that's got
nothing to do with your stomach noticeably pulling on your esophagus in
a 2-3G turns. Or reacting to you overcompensating for that and
tightening your diaphragm muscle once too often. (I didn't lose my
cookies, but it was down to the wire and I had literally turned green in
the face).

What do you care? People who've been answering questions in this group
more
or less since Win ME was released have been effectively proven over
several
years to be allowed to chat amongst themselves in between helping others.
You might liken it to a workforce being more productive when it enjoys
going
to work. Of course, you could always take it up with Microsoft.

"What do I care? Give me a break...the NG's title is
"microsoft.public.windowsme.general", ergo people come here to ask/answer
questions in regards to that. Hey, I'm no moderator (God knows "I" hate
them as much as the next person), but if you want to talk about topics other
than this NG's topic, why not go to the proper NG then? One doesn't talk /
ask questions about jobs in the USA in an Adobe NG, why discuss wine / food
in this one...go to something like alt.food.wine (tec.) to chat.
Me...you're right, "I" don't care, but someone, a newbie perhaps, who just
might have a WinME (general) question might...just might, have a valid
question to ask, without wanting to wade through a bunch of off topic, wine
(whine?) chatting to get it. I know moderator-wanna-be issues come up like
this all the time (hey, don't look at me...), so my bitch has been asked,
and responded to. Thx for putting up with it.

Which simply prompts me to ask what sort of "newbie" it might be who would
wade through a thread entitled "Heather" looking for a solution to their
problem. All the more so since the web interface used by the majority of
new users does not by default expand threads.

There are many people here who do answer questions with regards the OS
and once in a while make the NG more friendly for the newbies that come
here by having a little banter among the regulars that is OT.
What is wrong with that ?
That way everyone feels more comfortable about joining in and helping
out when they can, instead of just disappearing when their problem is
solved, it makes for a much better experience of NG's

Rick

You have a good point, Nomad.....the real "meat" of this NG is to discuss
and solve problems for users of the Me OS. If you take a close look at the
posts and responses, you will see that this is done. Yes, there are the
occasional OT posts and some threads tend to deviate from the OP. This
group, however, represents a large number of folks that have, virtually (and
I do mean "virtually") communicated and become friends since the day Me came
out. We are just a big happy family that lets anyone come to visit. Proper
protocol?.....I stand guilty of not following it.....along with a number of
others.....kinda like 'top posting.' g

We are a happy group here, unlike some of the "protocol" groups. Along with
a ton of good advice and help.......we play, joke, poke fun and thoroughly
enjoy coming here. And, as a matter of point......most newbies don't 'wade
through' prior posts for an answer or even do a search. Ask Mike Maltby,
MS-MVP extraordinaire, how many times he has told someone how to get their
'thumbnails' back.....or if the 'Teddy Bear' is a real virus.

You sound like an intelligent body.....I am sure you would be a great asset
here. Hang around......you might just find you enjoy it, besides, you are
most certainly welcome.
Heirloom, old and way OT
