Hi Dave. 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.

All of a sudden I was only seeing replies to

others who use that ISP.


Interesting. Larry's posts disappeared from Supernews for a while but
started showing up again a few days ago. I've never had a problem
seeing Roger's posts.


Same here!

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.

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.
