Great Ronnie. I just wish some folks here would learn how to post to the
newsgroup in SeaMonkey. Click the *first* reply icon (CTRL+R) in the
toolbar as show to reply to the NG as shown below and not the second one
(CTRL+SHIFT+R) which also emails the previous poster.

If you're bothered by that, munge your address and the personal reply
will bounce, bothering only the sender.
It also helps frustrate the spambots.
It is a bit of Usenet etiquette, post to the NG unless invited to do
otherwise.
I don't mung for a couple of reasons. Folks have a tenancy to use the
anonymity of nims and munged addresses to detach themselves from bad
behavior. I believe in owning what I say. The real address is there when
there is a need to take the conversion off the group, but in general
newsgroups are meant to be *public* discussions. If you private email
then others will not benefit from the off-group discussion defeating the
purpose of having the newsgroup. To post the *both* group and the email
is just needlessly clogging my inbox. I have subscribed to the newsgroup
so I will get your message. The problem is the corruption of "web
access" over newsreaders to newsgroups such as Google Groups where GG's
are confused about how newsgroups work. Ol' Blinky (RIP) used rail about
it...

Been on Usenet since the 90's and I don't really get spam. But for some
reason with this newsgroup there have been a number of posters the seem
to be confused about the process. Yes, my comments did show a little
irritation for which I apologize, but it was hardly mean, profane, or ad
hominem snark which is unfortunately all too pervasive. Steel and
asbestos reinforced shorts are required for the Ubuntu NG.

Take care,
