Merry Christmas and happy new year to you too Peter. I hope Santa
brings that 'Shimano Rules' T-shirt you've been drooling over! ;-)

I think that wasn't drool. I believe it had a bit of an aroma which
clearly delineated it as something else.

Oh, I see. You are using Firefox, not Pan.

Firefox ain't a newsreader, unless someone's built a newsreader
extension for it.

If it's so great why can't you QUOTE the post to which you're
replying? Or are you just lazy and inconsiderate?

I know you're just posting drunk again, Billy--it's really no
business of mine, but when you start behaving like an asshat to me,
I'll take it personally.

My post needed no quotations if you read the thread--you DO know how
threading in Usenet works, don't you?

Usenet etiquette enjoins you to post sufficient context to
make your posting intelligible and complete.

TYVM.

Often I quote, sometimes I don't--if you don't like the formatting,
don't read it--now finish that shot and beat that wife of
yours--it'll make you feel better.

Quoted message said:

All right. If that news reader is so good, how is it you
could not quote my posting to which you replied?

Laziness, apparently.

I use the news reader that I mentioned.

Now he'll accuse you of drinking (seems to be an issue for poor Maxie LOL).

Apparently netiquette states that you should deeply insult somebody if
you don't like their usenet formatting. My post was a reaction, not an
attack.

You're assuming I couldn't, but I chose not to.

Firefox on Ubuntu Linux via a wifi connection, in my good jeans, with a
small ramekin of olives beside the mouse. Would you like to know what
I'm wearing?

I never said I was using Pan, I'm using Google Groups as I use more
than a single computer, and its convenience outweighs its limitations.

Color me impressed. Really. Now run along and alphabatize your Star
Trek figurines or whatever people that obsess about Usenet formatting
do for fun.

"Deeply insult"?!? Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Drink up, Maxine...

Ooooh. Sarcasm. You post out of context, recommend a news
reader that you do not use, then act as if I am being
unreasonable.

Thanks to all for the answers, just gotta put up with bentracer I
guess...and Merry Christmas to you to Bill....remember that this NG is
about toys......both the riding type and the home type that sits on a
desk that you type on.....

Before you completely resign yourself to just putting up with the
creep, remember that you can forward the complete post with headers to
[email hidden], [email hidden] and [email hidden]
with a (preferably terse) note that this abuse has been going on for
an extended period. If those abuse handlers get enough gripes, they
*might* do something about the poster....

It is like cutting the head off a hydra.

Well, if I had to get an answer to say, how to effectively treat
malaria, or something important, i would...but this NG is about
.......toys......
