Please see the replies you already got to this
same message you posted in alt.comp.lang.learn.c-c++

And if you want to post to more than one group, crosspost,
don't multi-post.

Thank you.

how to crosspost?

When you write your message, list all the newsgroups
you want to post to in the 'newsgroup' field (but
use this feature sparingly, it's rarely appropriate
to post the same message to more than two or three
groups).

See www.usenet.org for more information about
how to use Usenet effectively, including why
not to "top-post" as you've just done.

how to crosspost?

By reading your newsreader's instruction manual. Press F1 now and type
"crosspost" in the search box.

Seriously, we can't help you, because its offtopic in CLC and you're
using a different newsreader to many of us. Please don't tell us what
it is, we know already its Outhouse Express 6.

Hello Mark McIntyre,



How did you know?

Probably by inspection of the "X-Newsreader:" field in the header, wich
isn't present in your post so I can't answer the next question.

BTW which newsreader am I using?

Regards

 

[Mark McIntyre]

Hello Mark McIntyre,



How did you know?

Because the headers said so. But you knew that, or you'd not be busy
munging yours now. Probably XNews or webmail by the way.

Oh! Don't acuse me of munging my headers
All I was trying to say was that you cannot confirm by just seeing the
headers.

Now guess where this post originated.

Your using Agent?
Right click. Kill filter. Subject OT


Done?

Hello Alan Balmer,



Your using Agent?

Yes. I have no need to hide my newsreader.

Off topic is still off topic, whether identified as such or not.

You apparently operate on the theory that if I choose to drive on the
wrong side of the road, it's your responsibility to get out of the
way.

Take your silliness elsewhere.

Hello Alan Balmer,

Yes. I have no need to hide my newsreader.

Did I ask you whether or not you have any such need?

Off topic is still off topic, whether identified as such or not.

So when the **** did I say its On topic?
Why don't you get behind

No. And I hate crude analogies, so keep 'em to yer self.

Take your silliness elsewhere.

What's your prob pal? You don't like it you don't read it. You don't own the
group, do you?
One more unkind reply from you and you join my killfile.

You don't like me - put me in your kill file and shut up.

Done.
