True, the headers may have been fake.

However the site is about not falling victim to spyware and
advertising technologies and all the rest of it. And spam usually
means when someone is marketing for personal gain - ? It's hard to see
what the personal gain was, other than bringing people to a well
designed site with some pretty good facts for internet newbies on
there. How come you consider it as spam ?

1) All featured software is payware. Most of the links to free resources
are dead;
2) It is OT (just because you put "freeware" in the message doesn't make it
a freeware related post);
3) As far as personal gain is concerned, if someone wants to increase the
size of my appendage, the gain is clearly mine, not theirs. So, no, not
all spam benefits the sender (unless she turns out to be really cute); and
4) I am very cranky lately. So there.

Yes, I pointed out that you were behaving in a bizarre fashion.

I think I should clarify what has happened here as you may have become
confused along the way, which is nothing to be ashamed about.

No, I know exactly what has happened.

Your own news server, like I say you seem to have lost track ?

I know what news server I use. I'm unclear on what type of LSD you've
been tripping on for the last couple of days.

1) Donna posts twice in two separate threads, one has the description
of a site the other one has the URL. Quickly it is implied that Donna
is stupid by way of questioning Donna's own ability to recognise her
own intelligence or lack of, this is clearly unfair as it can be
applied as much to the questioner as the questioned who took no
further steps to remedy the situation. As such I took a proportionate
response in posting the URL in the initial thread entitled "check out
this site" and pointed out that the software she was using has the
inbuilt facility to cancel newsgroup postings, thus implying the

And I -=ADDED=- that most servers won't accept those cancel request.

inherent *possibility* of such a feature being used by Donna, any
mention of the effectiveness of such a feature was at this point
vague, and with it's vagueness it still contained the possibility of
usefulness.

2) Someone called "Blinky" removes all trace of instructions on

Siimply wrong. I noted that cancels aren't honored by most servers,
directly beneath your post about OE having a cancel feature, -=and left
your post intact=- with that I response. Leaving your line in, and
adding mine directly below it is not "removing" your instructions.

There's obviously no reason for me to keep chasing your bizarre ideas,
here. Goodbye.

I'm sure she thanks you for your response msd. Google her. Definite
newbie. But she learned. Her latest post (in a new NG) included the
EXACT SAME URL without a hitch (all Google hits were this URL, well
eventually).

Dewey, I think this guy's just a nutjob. I left in the generalized line
about OE being able to issue a cancel and *added* below that line my own
general warning that most servers don't honor cancels anyway. His grasp
of facts is not very solid, and you're probably wasting your time. He's
binned, here, and I think that's probably the closest one can come to
making sense of him.

I'm going to give this one more try, because I think I figured something
out, after my last (meant to be final) response, that may be the cause
of your bizarre reactions, in this thread.

All I can figure out is that you don't know the difference between a
news *client* and a news *server*. See, they're two different things.

You responded with the information that OE (OE is a *client*) will
*issue* an cancelation message. Fine; no argument from me. I *added*
(below that fact) that most *servers* (this has nothing to do with OE)
will not act upon those requests (even though one's *client* will make
them). The *only* way I can make even a *bit* of sense out of your
responses in this branch of the thread is if you erroneously thought my
advice about *servers* (not honoring such requests) somehow contradicted
your advice that her *client* would generate the requests.

This *is* my final post on this, because if this is not the cause of all
of your confusion then there's really no telling *why* you've been so
confused. (And whether or not this does shed light on your confusion, I
don't care to waste any more time with the whole mess you created over
my simple piece of advice about *servers*.)

Because DC will come up with any spurious and vague argument rather
than admit he he behaved like an idiot.

Right so I'm meant to explain something which wasn't meant to make
sense anyway, which I infact then *did* and I'm the one who's facts
arn't very solid. Pffffff.... whatever. The whole stupid thing was
just a big "hello Blinky" thread anyway, don't know why I bother ! If
other people can respect Blinky's wish by not replying to posts where
both his and my comments are included this might help, I'll try and
ignore him as best I can but I've never had use for my kill file yet.

Because *some* people in this group like to invent standards and
definitions that suit themselves, then try to impose them on the rest of
the group, rather than try to learn about and adopt the group's existing
modus operandi. Examples abound and it's always the same little wannabe
dictators. It also depends upon their mood at the time
