SP2 removal.

[kurttrail]

Well every newsgroups has it's trolls and we can't help that.

Actually it is your OP that looks like the post that fits the definition
of a troll.

I will
toss your post in the garbage bin along with all the other internet
trash and spam.

The CDO interface doesn't have a means to do that.

Posting to a newsgroup since 2001 obviously has not
done any good for your character.

From a whining boy like you, that is a compliment.

I worked for Microsoft supporting
Windows XP since it launched and have fixed thousands of problems.

ROFL! FS2004 and SP2!

Not once did I ever come close to approaching the trash talk you have
displayed in this newsgroup.

Goody-two-shoes for you! You're my hero!

I am sure plenty of people are greatful
when you are helpful. Basically you just came in and posted that I
am stupid for using a web interface and nobody is greatful for that
type of behavior.

It is my opinion, and if you don't like my opinion, then don't read my
posts. You can't change me, or my opinion, since I have absolutely no
respect for you, so you have a choice to make.

Continue your bitching and whining, or take responsiblitity for your own
actions and don't read my posts.

You did not explain the problems with the web
interface.

Nope. Other had already. I was reponding to the tone of your post,
trying to limit the way people reponded to it. Well boy, now you've had
a lesson out of the book of the Rolling Stones.

You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes
You just might find
You get what you need

You did not give me any technical advice.

I'm giving you an education, not about your computer problem, but about
your problem in trying to get your own way.

And to put it simply, you can't. All you can really do is run away and
hide.

You just posted
a worthless three liner for the trash bin.

Yet you reponded to it. Seems you have some self-control problems.

Thank you for your contribution and I agree with you totally. Everyone
has a different way of doing things and different opinions. I was met
with a bit of belligerence for my own way of doing things. All I did
was post a couple of answers to some questions and then someone posted
a buch of profanities in my comments on my website. I then nicely
asked why people are against posting the web interface and someone
replied that I was stupid for using it. When I protested this horrible
response I was then told to deal with it or leave. Yes, I was quite
impressed by this great community.

and you are still here? Let me know if you plan to stay so I can add you to
the kill file.

All you can do is attack me with trash liners. I see you cannot be
reasoned with and you cannot form a coherent argument. You are like
the snotty 8 year old that can only hurl insults and comebacks. I am
wondering if you are really a person and not some joke machine. I
swear I could create a bot that could come up with as good responses.

Ken thanks for taking the time on your great reply. That is
all that
I was asking for. This is a valuable opinion from someone who
has
obviously earned the right of Microsoft MVP as opposed to
newsgroup
troll trash.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

[Jone Doe]

oh, one last thing, since you have posted your *real* email address, the
bots have harvested it by now, and you should have lots of spam to spend
your valuable time on from here on out.

I suppose this also means you guys frown against subscribing
and
posting to this group via Google Groups...

Once again, I think you should do whatever you want. I'll be
happy to give you my opinion and advice, but the choice of what
to do is yours, not mine.

Googlegroups is a great resource for searching newsgroups for
information; I use it all the time for that. It's a much poorer
choice for *participating* in newsgroups, since any web-based
tool essentially suffers from the same weaknesses (the ones I
mentioned in my earlier reply about CDO) as compared to a
newsreader.

Yes, I was quite impressed by this great community.

I'll echo what Shenan said: although this is a community of
sorts, it's not a community in the sense of being a uniform group
of people with identical manners, interests, knowledge, skills,
etc. We are all individuals, and as different from each other as
those in almost any group of similar size. On any given day,
there are several hundred people posting here, and they range
from extremely polite to extremely rude, from extremely
knowledgeable to having no idea what they are taking about, from
extremely literate to extremely illiterate. It's the nature of
virtually all newsgroups--not all replies to your questions will
always be helpful.

Among the many reasons for preferring a newsreader to using the
CDO interface is that it lets you easily killfile those people
who are rude or useless, so you don't have to see their messages
in the future.

What is this? The Jone Doe and Kurt show? You guys make a great team. I
have noticed that nobody with an MVP title has joined your circus. I guess
all I am doing is creating troll food. If nothing else at least I have
identified who the trolls are.

The spam bots can have that address... that is what I set it up for.

What warranty would that be?

The question of Firefox and Thunderbird is a totally different
discussion. Both are not as popular as IE so maybe this does
put me
out of step with the civilized world. Is there anything wrong
with
that? Microsoft adopts much technology and features that are
offered
by competitors. We need those competitors to keep Microsoft
from
getting too comfortable.

Maybe when IE 7 ships I will go back. Until then I am more
comfortable with a browser that adheres much better to web
standards,
has tabbed browsing, and is much more resistant to to spyware.
Honestly the only one that I really care about of the above is
tabbed
browsing.

You might be interested in trying Maxthon, which is an IE shell,
and offers tabbed browsing along with many other excellent
features. I had tried Firefox and wasn't overly impressed with
it, but I've been using Maxthon for the last month or two and
like it a lot. www.maxthon.com.

 

[americantechie]

Nice, thanks for the link! I will check that out. I also hear there
is an MSN toolbar that adds tabbed browsing as well.

Was that a reply to my message? If so, you're welcome, but please
quote enough of the message you're replying to to put your reply
into context. Otherwise, the many of us here who don't save
already-read messages have no idea what or to whom you're
replying.

You feel attacked?

I've been rather gentle with you. You must have an over-developed
persecution complex.

I see you cannot be
reasoned with

Not by an irrational whiner.

and you cannot form a coherent argument.

Am I arguing? About what? I'm just pointing out your problems, and
they seem to be growing exponentially.

You are like
the snotty 8 year old that can only hurl insults and comebacks.

What else is there to respond to you?

Oh, I know, have you figured out to fix your Flight Sim problem yet?
PMSL!

I am
wondering if you are really a person and not some joke machine.

Keeping wondering

I
swear I could create a bot that could come up with as good responses.

You have yet to come up with a good response to me. What makes you
think you could develop a response-bot? Now you are delusional, on top
of all your other problems.

No, it is the USENET.

LOL! A lot of them fall for you CDO trolls.

Yeah, take a stroll to your closest mirror.

The spam bots can have that address... that is what I set it up for.

Well, you should be getting alot of it then.

First lesson in Usenet... don't feed the trolls. I have been looking
through the posts and I see there are quite a bit of you. I thought you
guys put me on the ignore list.

On the plus side I did finally setup OE to use this newsgroup. Maybe now I
won't get so much flak.

Thanks for playing!

 

[kurttrail]

First lesson in Usenet... don't feed the trolls.

But saying that actually feeds the trolls, as it shows that you are
affected by them.

Don't want to "feed the trolls," just ignore them. Any response at all
is feeding them.

There will be a pop-quiz tomorrow to see if you have understood your
first lesson about the USENET.

I have been looking
through the posts and I see there are quite a bit of you. I thought
you guys put me on the ignore list.

Huh? I don't run away from anyone. I believe in confronting trolls
like you, and exposing your inadequacies.

On the plus side I did finally setup OE to use this newsgroup. Maybe
now I won't get so much flak.

Now all you have to worry about is your whiny personality.

Thanks for playing!

No, that was your own hand in your lap.
