Re: what is it

------------------------------------------------- I made the same mistake when I bought my first computer and did I suffer the wrath of the "experts". I was reported to the authority and threatened with account termination.and made to look stupid by some posters,although I did receive a lot of support from others. This put me off posting to a newsgroup for quite some time. Friendly advice would be better than calling someone clueless.If they repeat the mistake then maybe a tougher approach may be required. Finally I have no idea as to the identity of the engine in the pic but I am sure someone out there can help. Mike.H. "6 months ago my only fault was being bigheaded,but now I am perfect"

I stand by my opinion that failing to find out how to post correctly is pretty clueless. Had I wished to be unfriendly I would not have simply reported the OP to his ISP, said nothing and would not have gone to the trouble of giving the appropriate information on how to resolve the issue.

Ok so I must be one of the "clueless ones" for doing the same thing. I am sure the majority of Usenet users have travelled the same path and learned by their mistakes.Nobody in this world is perfect and we all at some time do not get things exactly right as indeed is shown in your own website.

I have never claimed to be perfect, I am sure that my site does contain errors but unlike posting 104 KB of binary images to a non binary news group no one is forced to use it.

Perhaps you need to strsaighten your own act by trimming extraneous matter when responding.

You've done what? Please rephrase..:-)

I'm looking back fondly on the days when top-posting, whining prats weren't bothering adults with their childish rants. Of course if you have really kill-filed me you wont see this and there will be no need for you sling your toys out of your pram.

Oh for heavens sake. You have "right" on your side but must you be quite such a self-righteous prig.

A top posting

I can remember when people had good manners, Richard, and were capable of accepting they had mad a mistake and apologising.

Whatever Gordon's original error was, and he has accepted his failing and apologised, all you have done is create a follow up thread of nastiness which leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Agreed, sorry to all concerned
