Re: Microsoft! whether we can upload the projects (in .zip file) ? WASTED THREAD

Hi Jesse,

I note that you have now contributed several posts of your own to this
WASTED THREAD.

I have wasted my time finding your jokes funny and having a laugh.

You have wasted your time knowing that your jokes were appreciated.

What a waste!!! ;-))

Regards,
Fergus

Hi Road Warrior,

This cat's got curiosity.

Is it anything to do with Steve's big hooter ;^) ?

Regards,
Fergus

Re: Microsoft! whether we can upload the projects (in .zip file) ?

Hi Steve,

I made mention of your 'atute' observation and Road Warrior spotted the
absense of the 's' where I have hallucinated it. Comes of keeping the fingers
out and putting the wrong stuff up there, perhaps.

How come you're claiming the Road Kill nickname? I was applying it in
momentary derision to Road Warrior (who, according to his self reference 'you
will be able to see what i said' is also Jesse). Or are you all of them??

Aaagghhh I'm all confused. Maybe I'm not even reading real posts anymore
and just typing away to myself! This last couple of days....

Regards,
Fergus

In news posts attachments are saved inside the post.

I forgot to ask if I should send you the "Edelweiss" flower or the beer...

Did you even read _why_ this netikette exists (first paragraph)? Is
"Attachment " or "Anhang" really translated to "plant"?

You are right, it's possible to post articles with attachments, but
people who do this will be ignored because they prevent some other
people who regularly frequent the groups from accessing other articles.

It has been compressed into a ZIP archive, that's a binary file.

Austria is very close to Germany and it has been part of Germany for
some time. People are _very_ similar.

I remember the British policemen are so popular, but I never read that
the German policemen are propular...

A lot of rules that make sense. The rules guarantee the best service
for all people participating to the groups.

I know this link. I only told you to stop posting attachments because
you will have a better chance to get an answer if you don't include
files with your multipart messages.

Your behavior is against every community because it seems that you like
it when people have problems accessing the groups and worms/viruses can
be posted to the groups.

One of the main reason swen spammed the newsgroups was that the server
didn't block multipart posts.
