I'm having a stubborn problem that has persisted for a long time
now...I can't seem to find anyone who can help ... does anyone know
where the really smart computer people hang out on UseNet?

No matter where you think they might be - no one can help you without you
presenting the issue you are having and as much detail surrounding said
issue.

You are the one sitting in front of your system. You may be the only one
witnessing said problem. You may be the only one who knows what operating
system and/or patches you have installed. You may be the only one who knows
when the problem(s) started. You may be the only one who can present the
error messages and event log entries that may help lead to a solution to
your issues.

Unless you share such information.. you are chicken little and the sky is
falling. *grin*
 
Huh ? - Failed Diplomacy-101, did you ?

Have problem, No solution - come here and ask where to
find "Smart People" on UseNet. (There is no shortage of
them lurking around here).

Sometimes it's not smart, but experienced that will get the
job done.

Now that I've used up a months worth of SA/Acerbic comments
would you like to explain what your problem is ?

From what I have observed, there are some pretty savvy people right here.
Also
Some nuts
Some politics
Some Jokers

A "NERD" is one who posts 500 word answers that result in nothing except he
knows some words.

Most of the time they are working and making living.

I am a bit confused.
Your post asks 'where are the real nerds' and then you ask 'where do the
really smart computer people hang out.'
Sounds a bit like chatroom-speak?
Look no further - we are all here!

You don't say what the stubborn problem is you're having that is being so
persistent, so I'll assume you have itchy balls. You can find some real
nerds who might be able to help you at:

microsoft.public.scratch.dem.balls

Just avoid asking MVPs for help. They'll more than likely just point you at
some urls. You'll want some nerds who can REALLY scratch them for you.

Self-descriptive?

This has got to be one of the most juvenile trolls ever posted, and you
bit anyway.

Well done.

Newsgroup.. Not a forum. Not a direct support group. Peer-to-peer.

Don't :
(1) Expect answers to be fast.
(2) Expect people to search for something you may have said (but did not
mention saying - actually - even if you mention it) - in other words - if it
was worth saying - it would be worth repeating, right?
(3) Expect to get answers when you (a) pose no question, (b) do not have
enough detail or (c) are just a jerk.
(4) Expect an answer if you do not seem willing to look for an answer
yourself.

Do :
(1) Continue a thread you start - as I know you have gotten responses.
(2) Try to find your own solution. Particularly if the problem seems unique
to YOUR system.
(3) Give as many details as you can - I notice in the other there are many
details left out. Even more left-out in this thread.

Your other problem seems to revolve around a situation unique to that single
system - with a single browser and a single web page.
Perhaps you should go there and include what you have tried - what
applications and security measures are installed - what plugins are
installed - what OS/version/Service Pack level - last patch date, etc you
have.. And so on.

I point you back to my original response to this thread. It applies to all
of your posts. =)

Perhaps if you were to actually describe the problem, in detail, and
the specific circumstances under which it occurs.....? No one can help
if you don't provide at least a modicum of information.

Well, this one and the previous two posts were intelligent replies. I
wasn't trying to be a jerk when I asked this question...I thought that
someone would steer me to a newsgroup where they could answer my
question. Sorry if I offended half the world by asking that.

I had posted earlier with my problem and no one was able to answer
it...hence my follow-up question as to where I could get an answer, if
an answer is even possible.

Thankyou all, but after this experience (and similar ones on other
newsgroups), I think I'll just keep trying to figure it out on my
own...later!

C'mon Tonto ... let's ride. Hi-Ho Silverrrr, away!

A definition of insanity.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

OR

Expect and answer to a question not posed.

Exactly what he asked for.... ;-}

LOL! Bruce comes out of the closet finally! He is openly flirting with
another man (winking at Steve). Well Bruce, I don't know if Steve plays
on the same team as you, but good luck! If it doesn't work out, you can
always go back to your friends at the Psychic Friends Network who must
LOVE fielding calls for you since you spam their number all over the groups!
