          Only Hillary Clinton can spin a long-winded lie, 
          repeat it regularly, then declare, "I misspoke".

          Now she\'s spinning a tale about a pregnant woman
          turned away by a hospital because she could not
          pay $100 up-front.

          Except it didn\'t happen!

          Pinocchio for President ;-)

Sure. Drop me an E-mail and I'll send you a copy of mine. It is however, a work in progress, and will change significantly as I learn regular expressions ;-)

Mart>On the contrary, OE is a news client.

Hardly. There are lots of examples to demonstrate that the World's worst email client simply has Port 119 access pasted on. news: snipped-for-privacy@k1g2000prb.googlegroups.com

Anyone who says that Micros~1 knows how to make a proper Usenet client.

Well, yeah, I could use some help pulling an old steel post but I guess I'll have to just wing it :-)

No, it isn't. OE WANTS to be a news client,and fails miserably at the task. You're still the idiot. Mainly for using it, and secondarily for claiming that it is viable.

Try to keep up.

Unfortunately not. I just cantilevered it out. Huge I-beam, so heavy that I had to use the hand truck to haul it up the driveway.

Great!

Now you got the priorities right!

I've been boycotting Google for years. I've found that Search.com is just as good, if not better. I've never had trouble finding datasheets with search.com.

But to Reuters they're "terrorists".

Is filtering on the path header more reliable than using the Message-ID?

Reply in group, but if emailing add another

Seconded. I've been switching back-and-forth between the news60.forteinc.com and cox.net and discovered that both are sometimes needed.

No. Anyone in the world who has access to a news client can post anything in the world that they want to.

Your best bet is to use your brain and don't trollfeed.

Good Luck! Rich

That's exactly what happened...and why we have all this spam now, and that flooding previously.

"Usenet"? What's that? Is it something like the Internet? You say it's got "news groups"? You mean like CNN and MSNBC or something? Oh, yeah, written messages, like texting! i gt u k now k tks

There's a very low probability that 60 Minutes is planning an expose' of GoogleGroupers spamming the sci.electronics.* tree, but stranger things have happened, I guess...
