Where in my original post did I *tell" people not to post here? Here is the original text in case you need to make a reference: ===================================================================== The groups on the news.mozilla.org server are for "Developers" only. If you are not a "Developer", then please visit one or more of the following groups for end-user Technical Support. We THANK YOU for your cooperation and understanding !! ===================================================================== I think the words "please" and "thank you" do not allude to a *demand*. > But it isn't on a mozilla server.

You keep telling me that I am *telling* people what to do or not to do. I fail to see that in my original text.

That is correct, YOUR postings do not originate on the Mozilla Server but mine do, and so do lots of others and are then FED to usenet where YOU and others download and sometimes reply to those postings. > Are you really this stupid Jay or just allowing your ego to get out of > control again? > Learn how usenet works before making yourself look even more stupid. > > >> Semantics and argumentative I agree, so we won't go there.

Not the ones posted to the mozilla server. If the feed ceases from the mozilla server then those posts will NOT be fed to usenet.
