Re: technical help needed



It seems to me I heard somewhere that Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD wrote in

Evidence that this is true?

It's common knowledge.

Then you should be able to cite a source where it is in writing.

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.?

Agent is being used here in a generic sense to represent an example of
a "proper newsreader" because it was given as the example by Port.

No, you very specifically mentioned it by name.

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.

Actually you probably mean there is no MacOS version of Agent.

Which is simply another way of saying it cannot be used on a Mac, so
your non sequitur is showing.

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.

Did not claim that I were.

No claim, but written as though.

However, GOD did move me to help Marilyn successfully with her
technical question about her use of a web-based newsreader.

You should have waited till you got the Word
from the Holy Spirit. :-)

It was the Holy Spirit Who moved me to help Marilyn.

Then he gave you bad information, as I've shown. I have yet to see
anything from Marilyn in this thread confirming that it helped.
