i guess you dont frequent newsgroups very often. This means the body of the
message should be the same "as subject" of the message... i.e. "Anyone
actually use this newsgroup?"...

That's rather abrupt for a uk group isn't it?

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.
Prove me wrong"

Agreed I could have written that. 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.

Oh I understand that bit, I'm just suggesting that it came across as reading
like a spambot.

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.

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'm not saying it had any intent, it looked like a trawl though.

Well we ended up conversing anyway... even if it was "off-topic" from the
original post!! :)
