Ordinarily I'd just ignore you or simply say no. I was a participant some years in a newsgroup where a female participant decided she'd put her name in the title whenever she replied, so she could skip all the other postings. It didn't take long till every response in the newsgroup had her trademark in the subject line, and she was right back where she had started. There's no program to auto modify the title afetr the first response, so the outcome is predictable. > Please note that the newserver I use has fixed what wasn't broke; > my current hypothesis is that the code has been unionized and > the last strike agreement caused the code to take a coffee break > every 1000 packets. More likely it is errors in your machinery/software. Since you value your time, perhaps you'd give some thought to replacing them with something that works better while giving you better access to the internet.

The trouble they took to assure avoidance is the real surprise. snip irrelevant response

Ah yes, the art of saying something that means nothing. I've read those before, including your stuff, and the above. If you are so interested you'd know. If you are so inrterested you wouldn't have to look it up. If you are so interested you'd have simply posted the basics in your reply. You don't know, you don't actually care, you didn't post anything but an empty argument. >>>>Claiming that some popular hero in the past held the views you are >>>advocating is also a common trick.

You think misquoting someone for your own petty goals is humor? Silliness, goofy behavior, excitability, inappropriate humor ... the first signs of bipolar disorder. Look into it before you completely lose control. >>Without Einstein the atomic bomb would have come later, so his >>part in it killed a *lot* of people under the guise of war. >>The fact is he and his lot wanted to drop the bomb on Europe, >>but that war ended without it, leaving only the Pacific War >>and Japan to on which to expend the bombs he helped to create. >>Your hot button post is devoid of substance.

You're hoisted by your own petard and working hard to squirm loose.
