I am continually clicking on items and getting two selections instead of
one. The problem is that there is too long of a period between depressing
and releasing the mouse button, and Win'XP is set for a very short period.
Is there anyway of increasing the detection period in Win'XP?

Why the unnecessary crossposting? Pick one appropriate group such as
windowsxp.general.

you forget there are NO RULES, or LAWS regarding groups to post to.
just recommendations and those are from microsoft itself.

you all to often claim to not be a ms employee or represent ms just a VOLUNTEER. then you have absolutely NO say in who posts what where.

This is incorrect. There are standard accepted rules of behavior on
Usenet. These rules have been around for many years and have nothing to
do with Microsoft.

See these links for information about Usenet:

It's always more effective to attack someone when you come from a
position of knowledge instead of ignorance, but since you're a troll we
shouldn't expect civilized behavior from you. Don't bother to respond to
this; your sort never admits they are wrong but I want your error on
record. Thank you Google Archives.

And here's the latest from net nanny mikeyhsd scolding Rock.
Pot...Kettle...Black????

It either doesn't work, or it doesn't slow it down enough. I'm still having
problems with working through a file and clicking "two lines at a time".

I don't understand why you object. The ability to automatically crosspost
is built into the newsgroups. It is obviously intended to be used. Your
objection must have something to do with the subject, or something to do
with my name. I am net aware of any rules, either official or informally
agreed to, on subject matter.

There is another possibility: You are not aware of the ability to
automatically crosspost, or that your respose was also automatically
crossposted.

Crossposting traditionally has a bad reputation because it's a tool
commonly used by spammers, who often abuse it by crossposting their
spam to many unrelated groups. Personally I don't have a problem with
crossposting, as long as it's to just a few groups that are related
and appropriate for the question being asked.

Unlike Rock, I don't have a problem with the crossposting you used
here. The real problem is when people don't know how to crosspost
properly, and instead multipost (send the same message to several
newsgroup, but separately). That just fragments the thread, so someone
who answers in one newsgroup doesn't get to see answers from others in
another newsgroup. And for those who read all the newsgroups the
message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple times instead
of once (they would see it only once if you correctly crossposted
instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than
you should get.

My reply was crossposted because I chose to keep the groups you had in the
original post, as I have done in this reply, however posts are never
"automatically" crossposted. You have to choose to do so, and choose which
groups. I sometimes do remove excessive original crossposting from my reply

I have no problems with crossposting in general, and it is certainly
preferable to multiposting, but it should only be used where appropriate,
and then only to applicable newsgroups. One should not crosspost every
inquiry. For most inquires pick one group that is most on target and stick
with it. Sometimes an issue does span newsgroups and in those cases sure,
use it, but not for every question, and not to groups that don't apply.

In your case, one of the groups you posted to was
microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web. That group has nothing to do with
the nature of your post. The microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
group was originally intended as a newsgroup for issues related to the help
and support function in XP, not for general help issues. That's what
windowsxp.general is for. Unfortunately the name is misleading and that
newsgroup has devolved into a duplicate of windowsxp.general. The people
who provide help in there are much the same as in windowsxp.general, so
there really is no need to crosspost to both those groups.

Crossposting, where inappropriate, just adds more noise and more downloads.
I feel posts should be kept on topic for the benefit of everyone.
