Ah, so you admit you made a ( /very small/ ) error in posting! Finally,
we're getting somewhere...

Right, Bill, right. We three have a problem and you're perfect. All fine
now?

I don't consider it an error because the attribution was 100% clear -
clear enough for my newsreader to figure it out, and that uses a very
simple algorithm.

When I started on Usenet Earthlink had 300 customers and was running
from upstairs of a coffeehouse on Melrose ave. AoLers couldn't get to
the "real" internet and all the dot eeedoo guys were complaining that
the new breed of uninformed newbies from Netcom were going to be the
death of the internet. I've read more than my share of Usenet in that
9 years and Zaumen, I have to say that I also think you're wrong here.

Nah, it's minor compared to your inflated ego and insensitivity to your
own wrongheadedness.

Done, he is the fencepost, after all, although I was thinking:

____ Sorni is right

____ Z is wrong

100% wrong. Your allegation that Sorni wrote something in your quoted
text was 100% wrong.
 
i've been reading usenet since i got it via UUCP feeds to a sun 3/50 .. wait,
before that, since csd4 running digital ultrix or some such monstrosity.
X windows didn't even exist then. that would have been around 1985.

i've certainly read my share and i have to say ..

i don't give a **** who's right here. you guys sure can go on about nothing.
i am, however, very glad i admitted my mistake ..

here .. up front.

I'll hand it to you, Bill. In the years I've been on Usenet, you are
one of the best at avoiding getting a clue. A masterful performance
that is now smelling like overripe troll.
 
I've read the entire thread thus far, and I think both of your mothers
wear combat boots.

s/"three or four"/"four or five"/

I'd like to add myself to your "rediculous" list, please.

Sure glad I'm not ridiculous, though.

Not only did I fill in the blanks, but I even went to the trouble of
deleting attributions that no longer had content in the message...

Zaumen's been this way as long as I can remember. And that's many, many
years.

Bill Z, Sorni, JimLane, take a deep breath in. Then, let a deep breath out.

Next inhalation, breathe in, and relax.

Exhale, and smile.

Breathe in, and relax; breathe out and smile.

This simple practice, taught by Thich Nhat Hanh in his book, Peace is Every
Step (http://tinyurl.com/3fmnz), will help you find the path to your true
self.

That's the basic pot smoking technique, too.
