So you can't even be bothered to repost established "truths"? Not even
links to conclusive arguments. That's really lame, Ivor.

Not so x2. Post only news instead of discussing, unless you want to be
guilty of the "crime" you accuse others of!!!!!!

Or else? Don't tell me: plonk! What have you got left when you plonk
everyone in "your" newsgroup just because they don't adhere to the same
definition of newsgroup and forum as you?

Ivor, accept modern life: you can cause a newsgroup to be established,
but you don't own it and you can't control it.

I'm sure you're a really nice guy otherwise, and I salute you.

Cordial greetings,
Chris
