So? Blathering about it to groups where it's NOT ON TOPIC is spam. We jump
hard on spam here, to make sure there isn't a second or Nth offense, because...

...so many many people think THEY know better than we do what we want to see
on this here newsgroup. I snap my fingers at his online Marine-ness, so:
<snap>
If he really was a Marine, which I'll admit is possible, he'd KNOW to scope
out a situation before barging into the midst of it, and to figure out what
the rules of engagement ARE, as opposed to what he wants them to be.

Sorry, dear (and Bob the Angry Flower will show up for you, please stay
seated), that's not your call or his. Unless he's got magical technology
that makes the post never download in the FIRST place to exactly the people
who don't want to read it, he doesn't get to claim "I SAID this was going to
be something you didn't want to listen to before I started yelling in your
ear in parade-ground voice!". [Hint: Such tech is available. It's called NOT
PUTTING r.a.sf.w IN THE NEWSGROUPS LINE]

>Nice try with the "follow-up to:",  very bad form.

Oh, I see it did get you at least once. Its work here is done. now SHOO, you're
being boring.

Don't make me call Terry on your presumably-a-friend.

PS: I don't know which of the other two groups you read, but I know it's not
this one. so aroint ye.
