Re: technical help needed



It seems to me I heard somewhere that Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote in
article <1180947981.597468.110420@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:


Web based stuff have the advantage of useability across multiple
platforms, OSes, and workstations. Then there is the smokescreen of
bogus IP addresses that web based stuff sometimes put out that really
confuse the would-be cyberstalkers that hang out here.

Evidence that this is true?

The use of a "proper newsreader" would tie someone down to the PC/Mac
where Agent is installed with those personal settings concerning
subscribed groups, handle, email address, password, etc. This would
not be good for someone being cyberstalked.

How Agent is installed and configured is up to the user; it can be left
wide open, can be left at the default settings, or buttoned up very
tightly for the paranoid. BTW, aren't you aware that other newsreaders
also have personal settings concerning subscribed groups, handle, email
address, password, etc.?

And Agent cannot be used on a Mac, so that's simply another
non-sequitur. OTOH, many Linux users do run Agent as their preferred
proper newsreader.

May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way (you will be hungrier when HE
does).

May God remind you that you are not an authority on Agent or on
newsreaders in general. You should have waited till you got the Word
from the Holy Spirit. :-)
