"Screen Scrape"

[John Mishefske]

You could just contact that server with your own HTTP request. Not
terribly difficult to do and then you can decode the response in
code.

The WinInet library has a bunch of API calls to do just this.

Here's one resource:

Does anyone remember the original question? Opps...

Or folks who don't trim.

Hi
If we all used tree-view readers like Google's we wouldn't need to
quote any of the original posts at all and most threads would fit on
one screen!

What Google are you using? When I look in Google there is no tree view as
of a month or so ago.

Maybe it's not important to you. My time is precious to me. I
use a reader that shows messages in a treeview. By simply
clicking on the leaf node of a thread, I can get all the
information out of the thread that's relevant, but only if the
quotations have been judiciously snipped, and the responses are
bottom posted.

Your right Bob, it's not that important to ME!, and yes, my time is
important too.

I do however, appreciate your reply.

The only thing of real importance to me is, do I get the answers I need when
I ask questions, and do I get useful information from the other questions
asked and answered in the ng. That's all that matters to me.

I don't accept your comment about the majourity of this group's
replies being top posted. That is not the case.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion on this. I have to admit
"majority" is a probably a wrong choice of word here, but just browsing
through todays replies indicates that some people top-posted, some
bottom-posted, and it doesn't matter to me at all which way they did it,
just that I gleaned some useful info.

This is a religious, almost fanatical, issue for some, and fanaticism
regarding THIS issue, is a real issue for ME. Perhaps some day, I'll be
fanatical about how I and others post...but not this day. Call me heretic.

Hi

does this work? Google hadn't yet got your post
http://groups.google.co.uk/groups?h...oups?hl=en&lr=&group=comp.databases.ms-access

I normally use free agent for posting but find google is much easier
for reading huge threads like this one (how pathetic that I have
nothing better to do!)

I'd suggest you wait and do so on a day when you haven't first posted your
intention on the Internet. Even if the Commandment does not apply, there are
laws against it in every jurisdiction where I have ever visited. And, over
here, they are decidedly "Old-Testmentish" in many of the States.

Yup, those laws are still older than Usenet guidelines though

Actually under British law, I can kill someone abroad and be safe if I
make it back here (unless the authorities here grant extradition)
although if I was to kill another Briton abroad I can be prosecuted for
it back in Britain.

There's a lot of "coveting" going on, but you may have a real point about
the "covert" part -- especially if the neighbor is bigger and tougher than
you are!

Well you have to be covert about these things anyway, there is a fox
hole under the fence anyway

Just be sure that, no matter how much you covet her, you don't cover her
unless you do it covertly.

Whipped cream or peanut butter?

Yes! This is how Google.com looked until a month or so ago, when all of a
sudden, the left treeview stopped showing, and was replaced by TWO search
boxes, one for the current group, one for all groups (which is annoying all
by itself). I suppose if I wan't "Classic Google" I will have to use the UK
site,

Thank you.
