My netscape(7.2) has groupname.MSF files and as far as I know I have tried it when I downloaded this version but it does not work. Oh bey deleteing snm file the group would be cleared? You are suggesting redownloading the group, but what about messages that are alredy gone from the server.

While I think it is insane and unsustainable, I am a bit pleased as I currently own two houses which are rented out :-)

Yeah, obviously those people struggling to survive on a menial income are just spending it badly. Kind of prevents having to think about things doesn't it. Just say it is their fault. Still, this avoids answering the question. Remember we are talking about how someone on minimum wage can do all the things I said. You could always post a sample budget plan.

You advocate everyone being self sufficient (even going as far to suggest a return to hunter-gatherer lifestyles), you think "going to bed and letting nature work" is a sensible suggestion regarding how workers react to illness and you really do go on about getting rid of "middle class" affectations and attitudes. Shame we don't live in the seventh century AD really.

Yes Lucas did reply to Eeyore, but unsettled's comment can only be taken as meaning Lucas. |
