Thank you, for your ever so polite response. Ill take your suggestions
onboard and I hope your day gets better.
You probably aren't aware, but the "web forums" you are posting on are
not web forums at all - they are actually Usenet newsgroups. There are
so many of these sites cropping up recently, that steal all their
content from Usenet, and don't tell their users about it. Frankly, we're
getting sick of it. Els probably didn't realise that's how you were
posting here, otherwise she would have explained the situation to you as
I am, rather than just complaining about your posting style.
Since you think you are just posting on a web site, you don't see any
need to quote what you are replying to. Problem is, you're probably the
only one reading the group who is accessing it through that site. The
rest of us are accessing it via a newsreader. For us, all the things Els
said in her post either are, or could be, true. It's not your fault -
the site purposefully misleads you into thinking they are really web
forums. But now you know the truth.
I suggest you get yourself a real newsreader (heck, even Outlook Express
will do for starters), and come visit us at news://alt.html - you'll
likely receive a much warmer welcome.
Nobody like aggressive, argent, useless posts.
Els' post was neither aggressive nor useless. Usenet newsgroups,
including alt.html, have conventions for how you post. She was merely
requesting that you follow those conventions.
And her post didn't look silvery to me[1], but that could be the visual
design of the site you're using.
