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.

Maybe you should be reported for making false claims. As I see nothing
in
the Google USENET archives to support your claim that a "Greg

Microsoft Users" in the Subject of the post.

So it's not because you are too lazy to trim and quote correctly then?

And it's definately not because you think what you say is more
important than what it is replying too so deserves to go first?

The reason I dislike top posting is BECAUSE I like to read from the top
down, not have to keep scrolling up and down to see what the hell is
being discussed.

At least you have a valid sig, so my prog automatically stripped the
trailing back to front posts.

Nope - I trim when I fell it's necessary

Nope - I reply anywhere that makes sense

Ah - but you have to scroll down to the bottom first to be able to do that!

There was only one - without which my response wouldn't have made sense.

Quoting from the first link I've given above, '... failure to check on
the appropriateness of your post generally results in you being
reminded, frequently politely, of your mistake - both publicly and
privately'. Again, this is not something you shouldn't have expected.
Indeed, these sorts of messages are best sent privately by email, since
their whole purpose is to reduce the amount of noise on the newsgroup.

Apologies again to everyone, especially if this gets sent back to
csa.misc, but I'll end my part in the thread here.

Because some goat decided we all needed to know that he is a snitch. Like
that was On-Topic for any of the groups included by him originally. Most
people in the msnews groups never even saw the original spoofed post, as MS
pulled it from its servers pretty quickly, and we saw the goat's post as an
original post.

So keep your goat in your own yard next time, and you and yours wouldn't get

And I'm supposed to find the FAQ's on every newsgroup that happens to be

day - if you do, you're lucky!


Apologies again to everyone, especially if this gets sent back to

And I also.
