DC Ammeter Sensitivity Increased?

Use a news reader that can mute quoted text.

Would you be willing to give the ammeter on your 1050 a quick check against something you trust, either another ammeter or maybe a low ohmage power resistor and a voltmeter and see if your unit's ammeter reads high like mine did?

I keep hearing opposing points of view about that, same as I do with cross posting vs. duplicated separate posts.

I can see some merit to both sides of those two debates.

Screw you. Post right - don't make other people compensate for your own shortcomings.

Thanks, Rich

Show RFC where quoting is a shortcoming. It's up to the individual to skip over or mute quoted content.

Go f*ck yourself.

Consider the blind - who listen to Usenet. They have to wade through a mountain of crap to hear one line - or sometimes none.

RFC 1855, "Netiquette Guidelines",

Section 3: One-to-many communication (mailing lists, netnews), 3.1 User guidelines 3.1.1 General Guidelines for mailing lists and NetNews [bullet 10]: If you are sending a reply to a message or a posting be sure you summarize the original at the top of the message, or include just enough text of the original to give a context. This will make sure readers understand when they start to read your response. Since NetNews, especially, is proliferated by distributing the postings from one host to another, it is possible to see a response to a message before seeing the original. Giving context helps everyone. But do not include the entire original! I take this as saying that quoting, when used in moderation to carry forward the essential context of a thread, is Good, and that when used to excess (quoting the entire original, or the whole thread), is Bad.

Right in moderation is the key.

Give my regards to the Nestene Consciousness.

If I kill-filed everyone who was too clueless to post correctly it would be a lonely place.

Well, you could always try realising that usenet's meant for laughs. "Serious discussion" is a waste of bandwidth.;-{P}

Likewise. >:)

if you want it to read right, remove a turn or 2 on the coil. Not sure if I'd bother though.

But it's still worth reminding folk to snip. Try being on a mail list where someone replies to a 50 message digest - and adds nothing to the glop.

You're an American. I don't expect you to give a damn about your fellow citizens - or anyone else on earth.
