Cable Modem Help

"double" may be an exaggeration. Maybe not. Anyway, the actual cost can be a lot higher.

Once I had phone service that had everything (local service, unlimited long distance, caller ID, call waiting, etc...), advertised price "ONLY" $39.95. The actual billed amount was above $55 (essentially, $39.95 was a lie).

You made the claim. Back it up!

A big exaggeration.

I can believe that. Most of those "fees" are fixed, not based on the service. You'd pay the same if it were a $150 plan (whatever it might include).

They can figure out the taxes and fees for you they are just to lazy to do the math. I have had them do it many times when i make adjustments to my services.

I am aware my news reader does it but have not have the time to change it.

it.

It has very little to do with your newsreader. Regardless of where the newsreader puts the cursor, you can move it yourself.

Outlook Express can use OEQuoteFix. It's possible that third-party thing can make OE a good citizen.

Thank you ill look in to it

I'm sorry to read you are "so ill".

If that prevents you from using the down-arrow key, I hope you get better soon.

I make mistakes TOM are you prefect?

I tried to convince my daughter I was, but she didn't believe it.

As a separate point, top-posting and putting the context (i.e. my response to your previous message) below your .sig (i.e. after the "--" line) meant that my newsreader chopped the context when creating this message. Yes, I could have manually re-inserted it, but I couldn't be bothered. Another reason top-posting is disliked.

change it.

Yes, I know. Back in the days when I used Outlook Express, I used to use OEQuoteFix.

But my point was that although even though something like OEQuoteFix can make it easier, it isn't necessary. You can still put your reply anywhere you want before, after, or within the quoted text.

Two points:

1. You apparently use Outlook Express, and what you were told is wrong. There's no way to change where Outlook Express puts the cursor in a reply.

1. This is a slightly expanded repeat of what I said earlier: regardless of where Outlook Express, or any other newsreader, puts the cursor, it's very easy to move it wherever you want it. To bottom post, simply click at the bottom of the message and the reply cursor will move there.

One thing I learned quickly the first time I used a a GUI was to select where typed text would go (click or use the tab key, etc). I didn't notice the problem with OE (over a decade ago, when I used OE).

The 'franchise fee' goes to the local government, for their use of the right ow way.
