Thge mind boggles. Why would you need a helmet inside a stable two-wheel trailer in the first place? Guy -- On our first outing with both kids in the trailer (sans helmets), they bonked their heads together on the first piece of "rough" terrain. Since then, helmets have been required. Even with just one child, I can imagine a head bonking a roll-bar if we were to have a rollover. The probabilities of it happening are low, but a little extra protection can't hurt. Even with the helmets, the kids still love to ride in the trailer. My daughter is usually chanting, "Faster, Daddy, Faster!" And you thought only the extra weight made for a better workout.... -Buck |

Your messages are all as attachments, and can't be read under OE. As a
result, you appear to be posting blank messages. I tried to contact you privately, but the mail bounced. Someone else, on a different newsgroup, when alerted to this problem, let us all know that he felt like it was our tough luck for using a lousy Microsoft product. I hope your attitude is not the same. After all, the point of usenet is communication. OE is a widely-used product, even if you don't like it, or think we should all be using some other newsreader. If you post things that a large number of people can't read, then it's not just us who are losing out. -- Warm Regards, Claire Petersky please substitute yahoo for mousepotato to reply Home of the meditative cyclist: http://home.earthlink.net/~cpetersky/Welcome.htm Personal page: http://www.geocities.com/cpetersky/ See the books I've set free at: http://bookcrossing.com/referral/Cpetersky |

quoting Bill Sornson :
Claire Petersky wrote: Your messages are all as attachments, and can't be read under OE. No, they're not. OE wrongly supposes that they are attachments. As a result, you appear to be posting blank messages. I tried to contact you privately, but the mail bounced. It's only been deferred with a 4xx response here. Unfortunate that that is not reported correctly back to you; but it should arrive in due course. Someone else, on a different newsgroup, when alerted to this problem, let us all know that he felt like it was our tough luck for using a lousy Microsoft product. I hope your attitude is not the same. The vast majority of OE users post mangled articles and don't care about changing that. Recently this ****ed me off enough that I am returning the compliment; the difference being that my articles are correctly formed but their crappy newsreader can't deal with it. It's unfortunate for the small minority who do make the effort, but they _are_ a small minority. I had assumed he has a virus or worm, as this seemed to start rather suddenly. Don't be absurd.

If one starts a message with the word begin and two spaces, OE 'sees' it as an attachment. Many people do this on Usenet to 'pretend' that they have a virus, again in a holier than thou attitude that makes them look really cool, hip and trendy in a stupid sort of way. -- The Caretaker. |

If you post things that a large number of people can't read, then it's not just us who are losing out. David's messages work just fine here under Emacs/Gnus and under MT-NewsWatcher- so do yours, for that matter. The problem isn't his messages, I suspect, but something about OE. Since, as you note, OE is a commonly used application and we have not had any complaints like yours previously in this newsgroup, I can only suppose that the problem lies with your particular installation of OE. Perhaps there is some useful setting in OE that can be changed to make your newsreading experience easier? I've never used OE so I have no specific idea what setting might be changed, unfortunately (actually, I've never used Windows for more than a few minutes). |
