On the one hand, you're an intelligent man and generous by setting up a News site. On the other hand, you got out of your way to misinterpret my remarks in configging discussions that are written so plainly that even Bonine and Bostwick cannot misinterpret them. You pull these straw man arguments on me repeatedly. It's utterly pathetic and lame and immature. You behave badly toward other participants in configging discussions, as I pointed out elsewhere in this thread. But nothing is worse than the rules you impose to prevent your own users from participating in pre-RFD discussions like these that are crossposted which is the usual practice. I stand by what I wrote and the way I wrote it. It looks like you left sufficient context in place for anyone to understand that I was stating that no major News site would refuse a user request to create an alt group, although I didn't mention "user" till the following sentence. News sites are unlikely to honor creation requests sent in email from a foreign user. But please, do keep arguing against the blitheringly obvious if it makes you giggle. You're making a complete fool of yourself. >-- Dude: The .sig delimiter separates your article from the .sig file that you append. If you don't use a .sig file, you have nothing to delimit and should not append the delimiter. HTH

Heh, I almost feel for the saps who paid $600 when the iPhone first debuted. Especially since they dropped the price $200 right afterward. One of the tech authors guesstimated that the first year outlay for an iPhone affictionado came in just under $2000! Of course, it *does* have that patented and novel "pinch" gesture that no one else can use. Anyone playing that silly *I pinched your head" game will now have to pay royalties to Apple or risk facing His Royal Majesty King Jobs in court! I guess Stevie needs the money? -- dvus |
