Yeah, that sure worked. Luddite Lib. :-) Uh, no, dumbass. By figuring out how to use the fucker and then explaining it to the rest of you. Barry's lost it. Obviously it doesn't matter if Neo was created for mobiles; most of us aren't using mobiles (not just on FFL but across Yahoo Groups). And Barry, of course, has no idea just how dysfunctional Neo is, because it hasn't yet been imposed on him. Nor does he have any concept of how huge the backlash against Neo is, because he's incurious. It's not just Yahoo Groups, either. Yahoo Mail, Yahoo Sports, Yahoo Finance, and Flickr have also gotten the Neo treatment, followed by similar tsunamis of protest from users who find the new versions impossible to work with because they're so poorly designed and implemented. One anti-Neo group turned up a leaked internal Yahoo memo pleading with employees to switch from Outlook to Yahoo Mail. Despite several previous pleas from management, 75 percent of the employees stuck with Outlook, knowing their company correspondence would be compromised if they tried to conduct it on Yahoo Mail. BTW, all I said about signing the petition to bring back Classic was, Can't hurt. But it's kinda cute how stupid Barry can be sometimes. He thinks he's insulting me by scornfully calling me a Luddite, having completely forgotten that only a month or so ago he was calling himself a Luddite: Those of us tech Luddites who lament the passing of the classic interface are pissing into the wind; no attention will be paid to us because we are the past, and Yahoo is aiming at the future.
Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: A Short Note on Yahoo Groups and Neo
It would be a lot easier to just admit you were jesting or being facetious about setting a macro key, which can't be set in Neo - that's a Microsoft Word or Word Perfect function. But, what you really meant was that you don't have any comment to make, so you just throw out an ad hominem. Go figure. Ad hominem is the second to last resort of someone who is losing a debate and is unable to respond with legitimacy. The last resort (most difficult for the ego) is to consider that he or she might be wrong about something. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem On 11/25/2013 10:30 PM, authfri...@yahoo.com wrote: This is all trolling, stuff Richard made up.

RE: Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: A Short Note on Yahoo Groups and Neo
The main problem with Neo--at least for discussion-oriented forums like FFL--is the formatting of replies. Top posting is fine in some cases, but if you want to interleave your comments, the formatting problems make coherent exchanges extremely difficult. Another major problem is the very limited size of the reply window if you're doing anything but top-posting. And the other big problem is the search function, which is crippled by the inability to search by date (that option has been broken from the beginning). Plus which, the endless scroll is wildly inefficient. If you open a post thinking it might be the one you want, and find it isn't and close it, you're taken back to the very top of the search and have to scroll all the way back down again. (To work around this glitch, open the post in a new tab.) And very frequently you won't even be able to call up a list of more than 10 or so posts; you get an error message that Search can't show you the rest. For replies, there is an option to use plain text and eliminate the impossibly crappy Rich Text formatting, but the result is even crappier: ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, lt;noozguru@...gt; wrote: On 11/26/2013 04:32 AM, TurquoiseB wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote: gt; gt; Dear Turq; ewe write, quot;Luddite Lib.quot; That is descriptive of something, You were thinking #39;Liberal#39; or may be #39;Luddite Liberation#39; back to the late neo-transition?

Re: [FairfieldLife] RE: A Short Note on Yahoo Groups and Neo
There's no point - at least no point in asking Judy anything important these days. She's probably to busy helping her clients this time of day, or at least she should be. I'd ask her for help with my comma-splices but she probably charges $100 an hour and you have to make an appointment a year in advance. LoL! Only two others on this list mentioned getting FFL postings via Mozilla Thunderbird, so I guess she's still figuring out how to set up a macro in Neo. Go figure. [image: Inline image 1] See that Mac in the background? It's not even hooked up to the internet - no serious author would ever dream about having their main machine hooked up to the WWW. I always use a separate machine for internet work, for security reasons. My stuff is double-backed up using Acronis TrueImage software. I don't trust the Cloud any more than I'd trust winning a poker game while playing Texas Holdem with a stacked deck! But, for my money, Thunderbird used as a news-reader is about as good as it gets. If I can figure out how to imbed my images like Bhairitu does, it would be ideal and I'd use nothing else. But, I'm using a Chromebook now, so the Chrome browser seems to fit the bill for me. It has three views to choose from and it's easy to link an image.
