Re: Sicko comments on this NG - (was:Re: Disk imaging)
As to children reading this newsgroup, I'm sure they love having it
pointed out that a "sicko comment" was posted by your change in subject,
Tom, and are now backtracking the contents of References headers to find
out exactly what it was so that they can expand their vocabulary.
And now, to correct for the threading errors caused by your
broken-as-designed AOL software (which generates a new References header
discarding the previous) and the cotse.com software (which generates no
References header at all), I've reconstructed the proper References
header for this article so that people with threading newsreaders can
figure out what the hell this is all about without going through the
same search process. (Sorry, is "hell" too strong a word? Too bad; I
don't abide by the "heckler's veto".)
But this won't help the kiddies find the "sicko comments" any easier
than your posting did; that was backtracked rather easily as it stood
anyway.
BTW, could you please learn how to quote text properly on USENET? Your
method of wrapping a block of quotation with ""s makes it difficult to
quickly scan the text past any familiar quoted text to find where yours
begin. Please use the standard ">" or "> " prefix for every quoted line
or expect people to stop reading your articles.
