Rather the opposite I'm really old fashioned and want a good subject line and a decent body This one could have been Subject: "Use of this Newsgrroup" Body: "I was wondering if anyone actually uses this newsgroup as I just posted some very short messages and there were almonst no replies.

However, that isnt the way I chose to contruct ^my^ message. I still however, stuck to well defined usenet/newsgroup "speak" in the contruction of my message as I have since I started using usenet in 1995. I appreciate your need for clarity in a posting... hence my to-the-point response to your sarcastic original reply. Tom >> Stay informed about: Anyone actually use this newsgroup?

Oh I understand that bit, I'm just suggesting that it came across as reading like a spambot. cheers, >> Stay informed about: Anyone actually use this newsgroup?

Well maybe you should setup a spam filter for messages with "As subject" in the first line of a message... then you wont have these problems in the future. I can usually tell if a real person has written a message (and hopes for a reply that has something to do with the query in the message) or if the message is spam... most spam has the intention of getting money from you somehow... my original message did not have this intent. >> Stay informed about: Anyone actually use this newsgroup?

It's not a problem nor a complaint, just if you're looking for a conversation you might, er, be a little more conversive. > I can usually tell if a real person has written a message (and hopes for a > reply that has something to do with the query in the message) or if the > message is spam... most spam has the intention of getting money from you > somehow... my original message did not have this intent. I'm not saying it had any intent, it looked like a trawl though. cheers, >> Stay informed about: Anyone actually use this newsgroup?
