Ah! The pleasure in using this newsgroup

I am so glad that I found this newsgroup. It is so much more friendly here
than the xp general newsgroup where you have people who are trolls who accuse
you of using Microsoft products, usually do not say thank you and blame you
when someone else uses an image and you suggest to the user to view the posts
in plain text. A typical reply that happened recently was "well I use Agent
and so I cannot view this newsgroup without html and I will not use crappy
OE" My reply to this user was for them to try Mozilla Thunderbird. The user
then shut up but I am so thankful to have everyone work well here as a
community and when other newbies arrive they are forced to conform to certain
rules or driven out because they refuse to comply. BTW, does anyone know of
an XP newsgroup where they are more friendly and knowledgable than the
general xp newsgroup? Thanks again everyone and have a great Sunday!

There are lots of XP newsgroups. Shop around.

True, but I highly doubt I will find one that is as good as this newsgroup.

Sorry Bill. That was Shop Around Smokie Robinson and the Miracles style. But
Marvin did play drums on that track.

I meant what I said. Go lurk in some of the non-general XP groups. Read,
don't post for a while. When you have a *question*, ask. Keep it
succinct and on-topic. You'll find your niche. As you get more
comfortable with the style, and you find that you have cogent advice to
add to the conversation (not just comments in general), then add them.
FWIW, most of the MVPs over there used to be denizens of this group.

You are DOOMED, then, as I tried to warn before, to wander this NG for
all eternity, Dan, from one thread to another & back again. The only
possible escape is to an XP NG, where surely you will perish of
radiation poisoning!

Thanks or Good Luck,
There may be humor in this post, and,
Naturally, you will not sue,
should things get worse after this,
