They lie, yet again. Gary does not killfile news items and neither does Erik.
They have proven it before. And yet, if I dare to have a typo in the tag,
they loudly nag. When that line of attack fails, they mention server
retention. But newsgroups servers retain by the post, not by the thread. So
the effect of my news posting is minute. But that's not what they would have
you believe. Other lies, off the top of my head: no followups as an
implication of no interest, Windows/MS-related being utterly irrelevant,
etc.
Seems as though I'll be getting in contact with some viruses (Windows) next
week. My activity in this newsgroup will be affected. Inevitably, not all
problems can be resolved remotely. No worries. I'll loosen that Windows
chastity belt. it's been accumulating dust for many months.
Best wishes,
Roy
