It was certainly NOT the "hippies" who created this society that you so roundly reject, but rather, just the opposite. It was backlash against the consumerism of the Greatest Generation that created the Hippies, who still live and are perhaps among the most moral and honest, not to mention polite, Generation of this century. FYI, the "hippies" still exist, and they're some of the most giving, most polite and most generous of our sub-cultures. I know, I was one, still am inside, and I've lived around them all my life. And some of the greatest members of your own in-between generation, the Bohemians, but also the same people who built NASA and developed computers, some of their best, were the ones who created the Hippie movement. No, what is caused the "breakdown" you're whining about is the natural response against "polite" and "respectful" hypocrites who, just like Kennedy and astronauts and their kin, were part of the "Greatest Generation". Only what they got out of it was the meanest, crassest form of Capitalism yet, and it is THAT mean, crass, unfettered and mostly Republican-led deregulated capitalism that has led to today's societal despicable mores. Their counter-parts, the "Politically Correct" pseudo-Hipppies, just as capitalistic and just as lacking in true manners, have taken things to extremes, also, and the backlash is just as much against them. But there's hope. A lot of today's children and are out there on the front lines, working to bring self-respect back to our society, and self-respect is the only path toward respect for others. Wow, a Hippie!! The above is very well written and an interesting perspective about the country. Well done. |

This concerns the difference between right and wrong, scruples, morality and integrity, nothing else. Angel "scruples, morality and integrity"??? Wrong era and wrong generation for that! You old fogie, you!!!! All I have to say about your comment is: Do, Write and Say unto others AS you would want them to Do, Write and Say to you. It would be a better world if everyone believed and did this. Scruples, morality and integrity has NEVER been connected with era or generation. It has never gone out of style. Of course, there is nothing that would change your mind if you had your mind set on "wrong era and wrong generation" no matter what. Anyway, you do not know what generation I am from, this may give you a hint: I go to University classes. Right now, I am taking Philosophy classes. Maybe you should be going to those classes.

If some city in the USA got nuked, the phone lines would be totally tied up. Why? Because of all the people calling their lawyers.

A Puzzle!
"Dan" wrote in message ... Thanks Dave for the correction. This was meant to be light-hearted, albeit with serious undertones (for 98 Guy anyway!) Maybe you can help me. I posted a message in the Microsoft security group earlier this morning in 'your' Source Code thread. When I checked just now (using Outlook Express) the message header had a line scored through it and in the message box it said the message is no longer available on the server. Have you ever seen this happen before? Any idea why it might happen? It is, however, still showing on Google Groups. I repeat it he- (It was in response to FromTheRafters who said ....... ) "The transmission is textual - the protocol has no issues I am aware of. Any security risk would probably be in the extensions that allow this textual data to 'contain' malware - similar to the e-mail protocols". * * Hmmm! stroking chin! What about when 'pictures' or photographs are included (including screenshots) - there's a term for that which escapes me right now! In other words, not in 'plain text'. I once received a 'screenshot' as an email attachment (I'd asked for it to be sent to me). I opened the 'picture' (jpeg I think) and all seemed fine. I then opened the file with Notepad (I do crazy things like that!). Wow! Inside that file, above all the 'gobbledegook' one might expect, were *live* links to all manner of web pages ,,,,,,,, of course I went and looked! grin During my experimentation over the years, I've seen lots of SPAM (advertising the likes of Viagra and Jewelry) - every one of those links shown in Notepad was, I'm certain, taking me to a SPAM site! I''ve been told that is impossible ........... yet I saw it with my own eyes! So there! Any thoughts? Dave -- |

All kinds of stuff gets immediately rejected or filtered out soon after it
gets posts to the MS server. There is generally no rhyme no reason for it. Fact is, nobody is in charge of the MS news servers. What there *is* is an ad hoc group of people with differing and sometimes ridiculous ideas about how to block SPAM and "objectionable" material, whatever they decide that is. -- Gary S.

Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com Gary - thanks for taking the time and trouble to respond. I've come to respect your expertise and attitude. Thanks. It took me a fair while to appreciate that the MS news servers were divorced from Microsoft itself and that there is no moderation here, in general terms anyway. I'm quite certain that a very high percentage of folk visiting the groups do so out of desperation - I know I did! I must have been using Outlook Express for about 8 years before I became aware that it could be used for participating in newsgroups in addition to use for email! Doh! I have, though, always assumed that Microsoft funds the cost of running the servers. Can you confirm that that is so? I did once question why there are two active servers - news.microsoft.com AND msnews.microsoft.com. A historical 'quirk' I believe I was told. I'm uncertain if you read right through my post. Have you any understanding of *how* live links to web sites could be 'hidden' within a jpeg file? I'm happy for you to email me if you would prefer so to do. Just let me know here and I'll give you my address. TIA In the meantime, I'll try posting my message to FTR again and see what happens this time! Dave Dave -- |
