It is obvious that Mr. Ilias does not bother to read. I *QUOTE* the
FIRST line of *FIRST* post in this thread: "I don't know if this News
group is where to get help with a problems I have."


True enough, but then the thread verged off into a wide variety of 
topics that had nothing to do with SeaMonkey. See for yourself.

That he received much help here is *CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE* that this group 
is not as narrow minded as Mr. Ilias.


Mr. Ilias had RUDELY demanded replies be sent only to him.
I prefer to CHASTISE him publicly.

Sorry - that was for a 500 GB.
Mine is a 250 GB - those exact replacements are $35 - free shipping.

Thanks for this idea !


Hi DoctorBill,

Your posting address does not appear to be valid, so this warning is 
being posted here.


You're getting this message because I've noticed that you've been 
posting a lot of off-topic messages lately. I want to make sure that 
you're aware that the mozilla.support.* newsgroups are subject to the 
Mozilla Forum Etiquette rules 
. "Stay on topic" 
is one of those basic rules. As a matter of fact, off-topic posts are 
eligible for removal from the news server. See 
. Your 
off-topic messages aren't being removed; I just want to let you know 
about the forum rules.


If it would help you to see which posts I considered off-topic, please 
just e-mail me back.


It's important to remember that the reason people subscribe to the 
Mozilla Support newsgroups or mailing lists is for user support; and if 
they have to read through many messages that are of no help in their use 
of the product, they're not getting what they subscribed for.


If you do want to post an off-topic message, there a few things you can do:
* You can reply to the poster via private email
* You can suggest taking the discussion to a place where the discussion 
would not be off-topic.
* You can force replies to be sent to the mozilla.general, where 
off-topic discussion is allowed. To do that, just set the Followup-To 
header on your post. [Demonstration video:

If you'd like to reply to this message, please email me with a valid 
return address, thanks.
