There are always people who know better. Netiquette was a generally agreed
upon way to converse. Foul language ( for lack of a better description)
has its place, but usenet may not always be it.

Now, as far as newsreaders is concerned - I really tried reading these
discussions in Live Mail, but I think it is clumsy, slows me down, and
takes up more real estate on my laptop screen than I care about. So I may
again quote inadvertently inappropriate portions of html posts, and I
apologize to the group's members in advance.

My point, which you failed to grasp or acknowledge was that f*ck is

Anything new will feel clumsy and unfamiliar at first. And besides, WLM
is not the only news reader in town.<br>

I get a kick out of someone posting after he's been killfiled, shows
extreme ignorance of Usenet as does posting HTML or using a real name
and email address.

Netiquette is just etiquitte for Usenet and email, and like etiquette,
it's no more than basic courtesy which has developed over many years to
allow people to live together civilly.

Andrew apparently cares nothing for courtesy to others as his posts
show, he's best killfiled and ignored just as you'd send a spoiled brat
to his room.

I've had him on ignore for a long while. He may have nuggets of info, but
he is way too full of himself, and that gets in the way of his attempts to
share information.

Check your premises. Who the fuck said I was here to share information
with your silly ass? Or anybody else here anyway?<br>
