It's more and more obvious that YOU don't know how, or you would have read mine and known what newsreader I use. The header of a post does not reveal the newsreader used unless one has turned on 'Show All Header Fields'. I don't normally wish to see all the header fields because then I must scroll down to read the message. Do you keep the header fields shown all the time? No, but Vic posted as if he knew what reader I was using, when he is obviously clueless. This was a case where an intelligent person would have looked at the headers before posting. He also can't seem to directly answer simple and completely unambiguous questions. The 'un-ambiguity' may be in the eyes of the beholder. Headers, at least in Agent, are not the same as 'Header Fields'. You asked Vic if he could read headers. He answered that he could. You responded with a less than flattering comment, because you were referring to headers when you meant header fields. |

Harry is way out of his depth of knowledge when speaking about all things USENET. I proved that a couple of years ago when I outed him. |
