Despite the opinion of those above who persist in arguing the toss
rather than making positive contributions, this question has still more
fascinating angles.

And you're still stuttering. Must you post everything twice or thrice?

Annoying you, is it ? Well, that's just too bad.

Ooh! Sniping!

_And_ it's not very good at it.

But it's really not fair to mock it for being what it is. It
cannot help itself.

Tee hee. I just noticed that a Google Groups user has been giving your
posts and mine "one-star" ratings. I wonder who that could be? (For
those not using Google Groups for WWW^H^H^H Usenet access, readers can
give posts a rating from one to five stars).

I don't much care what Google Groups does as long as they are
honest about it -- which they are not.

OK Google Groups users: Welcome to USENET, a forum for the
dissemination of information that has existed since netnews
propagated on magnetic tape from one server to another, and that
pre-dates the Internet (though not ARPANET). Google doesn't own
USENET, didn't invent USENET, and has worse software for reading
and posting to newsgroups than AOL ever did. Google didn't even
invent the idea of using a WWW interface to news groups. They
bought it, along with the archives, from RemarQ. Google doesn't
tell you any of this, of course. They want you to use their
clumsy interface and read their advertising instead of using the
software that came with your computer and the news group access
you most likely, unless you are with AOL, already have from your
ISP. To learn more, point yourself to the USENET (not Google
Groups) news group news.announce.newusers.

In the meantime, consider whether you want to feed an entity that
makes money off the intellectual property of others, and doesn't
pay them for it.
