I had the "test" message up for about 5 seconds, and then deleted it. It turned out that there was a problem with cookies in my Firefox browser that caused Google group posting attempts to go into an infinite loop. In the process of diagnosing the problem, I needed to see if another browser would work. I only post messages on rare occasions, so I needed a sample. I would say that the complaint about it took up a lot more bandwidth and was a lot more annoying than the one-word post I put up for 5 seconds. Every time someone does something that violates a tiny rule in a tiny way for a tiny amount of time, there are always some self-righteous "enforcers" ready to make things a lot worse and alienate yet more people. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
