Well kid, you're replying to a thread that started in April of 1999,
and which only lasted a few posts. The original poster is bound to be
long gone by now, indeed is now about 21 and long graduated from high school.
You compound your error of replying to an almost six year old thread by not
quoting what you are replying to. Nobody has a clue what you are talking
about, and people are scratching their heads wondering where the post
you are replying to is.
The only reason I know, and I'm not the only one, is because this responding
to long-dead threads has become common in the past month since google
"remodelled" itself and made the mistake of letting people reply to old
threads, so I went to google and immediately verified that my guess was
right and you were replying to a really old message.
Just because google is an archive that lets people see messages going back
to the beginnings of the newsgroups in 1979 or so does not mean it's a good
thing to reply to old messages. And just because when you use the
archive to see old messages you see the full thread does not mean that
many or most people view the threads that way. Google is merely an archive
of newsgroups; the newsgroups go back a quarter century but google has
only been keeping the archives since a few years back. They want you to
think you've just posted to one of their "groups" but that's not how it
works. If you don't understand this, you shouldn't be posting from
there.
