I stopped posting as C.W. Morgan quite a long time ago. Your buddy Crantz likes to use that nic sometimes when he finds the need to reply to his own posts. That isn't me but nice try. If I had to guess, I'd guess it is you. The headers, account, etc, match C.W. Morgan. Whatever, at least the person is polite and on topic. Don't be so afraid to take credit for being nice unless you see it as an ill fitting suit. Amen! |

I see no connection namewise between CW Morgan and Captain Morgan. The
Captain is a famous pirate and a brand of rum. I don't see how one can change the headers they are all set by the Usenet provider and the newsreader software. The newsreader software is all compiled code so there is no chance of changing that without the source code documentation and knowing something about programming. I think it is all coincidence. |

Note that Morgan, and Morgan, have very similar spelling. Similar, yes. The Captain is a famous pirate and a brand of rum. There is also a famous boat designer & builder named Charley Morgan. Note that Charlie and Charley have slightly different spellings. I'm not him either! Charley is usually female. I don't see how one can change the headers they are all set by the Usenet provider and the newsreader software. The newsreader software is all compiled code so there is no chance of changing that without the source code documentation and knowing something about programming. Yet, its done all the time! How can one decompile code? I suppose given enough time one might figure something out but I think it is beyond the means of just about anyone. Most of that header stuff is inserted by others downstream, that can't be changed unless someone runs a USP and can control the routing. If you compare my headers, and "Captain Morgan", however, you will see that we are apparently in two different time zones. Oops! Yes I see and it's not my time zone either. So it is neither of us, it is someone off in the Alaska or Hawaii time zone. I think it is all coincidence. I think it's mostly specious. Probably just harmonic convergence. |
