Some of the rules for using 'NETNEWS': 1)'Never Forget that the Person on the Other Side is Human'. Comment: Try to humanize your language next time or at least try. 2)'Your postings Reflect Upon You -- Be Proud of Them'. Comment: Are you proud of your postings?. 3)'Don't Use Foul or Obscene Language'. Comment: You have used obscene language, what a shame!!. 4)'Think About Your Audience'. Comment: I don't think you did care about that, do you?. 4 rules so far you have broken, arn't enough? A. Sultan

In case nobody has said it before, I will say it now, "sarcasm is what separates humans from the beasts". |> 2)'Your postings Reflect Upon You -- Be Proud of Them'. |> Comment: Are you proud of your postings?. Yes I am! I try to "eschew obfuscation" and encourage others to do so as well. Sometimes this requires that I parade my ignorance in front of the world and say something like "what the hell are you talking about?". After all, I did request an English translation... |> 3)'Don't Use Foul or Obscene Language'. |> Comment: You have used obscene language, what a shame!!. I am very sorry for using the T word ("throttle"). I will never do it again. |> 4)'Think About Your Audience'. |> Comment: I don't think you did care about that, do you?. Perhaps this is a point at which the "pot is calling the kettle black". Think of all the people (and companies), all over the world, that pay *real* dollars for the sending and receiving of netnews. The amount of information derived, by myself (and atleast one other of the "ignorant masses"), from the abstract was absolutely nil! I am certain that people would flame me if I started to post exclusively in an uncommon foreign language. Here I go parading my ignorance again, but what did your posts have to do with software engineering? Enlighten me! |> 4 rules so far you have broken, arn't enough?

Well, I seem to have missed the original posting, but that does look like my name in the subject line. For the record, I thought that my posting was honest and matter-of-fact, and as polite as I could possibly make it. And, I see no reason to change my mind. That's all I wanted to say. Adam
