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.
