We had two 8700's and they were pure, unadulterated junk.
The Armada that I have has been OK. For the most part trouble free and
reliable.

I've only participated in 3 NG's! There's been some minor questions

posed
in
some Honda and Nissan newsgroups, but that's about it. You on the

You really need to work on learning to read and understand,

not

your
child-like

good experiences with the computers I (or my family have had) over the

I
have owned computers of some sort since 1978 (Apple, Packard Bell. HP,

years. It would be great if newsgroups of this type were used solely for

the
purpose of information and help, however, I understand that folks want

to
vent about their bad experiences and that's their right. It is also the
right of those to defend their positions on the positive side.It just
interests me that you have complained about Deep's vulgarities and yet

you
have reposted these vulgarities in at least 3 separate posts. I suppose

I
"pick on" your posts because I usually find yours in the middle of some
"entertaining" back and forths. I would classify Newsgroups as a source

of
two things, information and entertainment. If I am not interested in a
particular topic as described in the header, then I would not

necessarily
read through the posts, however, if I see a bunch of responses with

certain
sender's names, I will read those because occasionally, they are real
entertaining. Deeps' (or others) vulgarities were probably in response

to
some humdrum question in a topic that is of little interest, thus I can

not
remember seeing any of them except when reposted by you. It would be

great
if all folks would use language that you or I or anyone would deem
"appropriate", but in certain locales it just isn't going to happen.

With
the wide variety of unknown personalities on newsgroups, you can't

expect
them to acquiesce to what you want, thus you should assume that, at the

very
least, newsgroups should be rated 'R'. With that being the case, you or

your
grandchildren, shouldn't be surprised if vulgarities show up. I have an

8
year old granddaughter. I would never allow her to use the Internet
unsupervised because you never know what can be accidentally found and

if
I
were using the Internet with her, I would certainly not be reading
newsgroups with her, but, to each his/her own. At least I am fortunate

that
she is not nearly as Internet savvy as yours because she doesn't even

know
what a newsgroup is, much less have the ability to open one up and

either
download new messages or read existing messages.

My original post to you wasn't the fact that the language offended me, it
was the fact that you chose to repost language that you found offensive to
your grandchildren. You can quote and post whatever language you want, I
just find it interesting that you would post something that you personally
find offensive. As I stated in my last post, while it would be nice if
everyone used language I "approve" of, I can't be offended if I see or hear
the language in places where it may exist such as a newsgroup in which I
don't personally know anyone. (at least, not that I am aware of). Some of
the vulgarities you chose to repost are indeed offensive, but they are
things I read everyday in bestselling books.

To make it clear, although I don't condone such language, I am not
chastising anyone in this newsgroup who uses it. I am only responding to the
fact that you chose to repost vulgarities on at least 3 occasions which you
found offensive because your grandchildren may inadvertantly read them while
perusing this newsgroup. Since you are such a concerned grandparent, I find
it odd that you would repost these vulgarities under your username when the
possibility exists that your grandchildren may see them again. Had you NOT
reposted them, the odds would severely diminish that they would be seen
again.

For instance, if someone posted an inappropriate piece of spam to this group
it would be ridiculous for me to admonish them via a response which included
their original spam.

offensive,

offensive

I

assume from your previous post a while ago that you

grandchildren
use
your
computer unsupervised since I would suspect you would not allow

them
to
read
newsgroups that contain vulgarities, yet somehow (according to

you),

Practice what you preach. Since you find the language offensive,

I haven't attacked you. I don't attack people. I do, however, accurately
quote their posts. Here, I thought you would like your friends to see a few
examples of your posts to this and other groups. You mean that you are not
proud enough of your posts to see them quoted?

So your logic is that those who use the language you find so offensive
should be attacked? Come on grandma! Attack away!!

You still have explained why you criticize me for quoting such language,

but
say absolutely nothing to those who originated the posts.

No withstanding you denials, the reason that I came up with is the most
likely. Sorry. I have to stick with that until you demonstrate

differently.

Frankly, I don't care if folks are pro or anti Compaq, Dell, HP, Sony,

To each, his own. I am not that strongly attached to any type of

machine
to
be that passionate one way or another. Personally, I have had nothing

but
good experiences with the computers I (or my family have had) over the
years. Problems have been rare and the few calls made to sales, tech

support
or customer service have been handled in a professional and timely

manner.
I
have owned computers of some sort since 1978 (Apple, Packard Bell. HP,
Compaq, Dell, Alienware). I guess I have just been lucky for the past

25
years. It would be great if newsgroups of this type were used solely

for
the
purpose of information and help, however, I understand that folks want

to
vent about their bad experiences and that's their right. It is also

the
right of those to defend their positions on the positive side.It just
interests me that you have complained about Deep's vulgarities and yet

you
have reposted these vulgarities in at least 3 separate posts. I

suppose
I
"pick on" your posts because I usually find yours in the middle of

some
"entertaining" back and forths. I would classify Newsgroups as a

source
of
two things, information and entertainment. If I am not interested in a
particular topic as described in the header, then I would not

necessarily
read through the posts, however, if I see a bunch of responses with

certain
sender's names, I will read those because occasionally, they are real
entertaining. Deeps' (or others) vulgarities were probably in response

to
some humdrum question in a topic that is of little interest, thus I

can
not
remember seeing any of them except when reposted by you. It would be

great
if all folks would use language that you or I or anyone would deem
"appropriate", but in certain locales it just isn't going to happen.

With
the wide variety of unknown personalities on newsgroups, you can't

expect
them to acquiesce to what you want, thus you should assume that, at

the
very
least, newsgroups should be rated 'R'. With that being the case, you

or
your
grandchildren, shouldn't be surprised if vulgarities show up. I have

an
8
year old granddaughter. I would never allow her to use the Internet
unsupervised because you never know what can be accidentally found and

if
I
were using the Internet with her, I would certainly not be reading
newsgroups with her, but, to each his/her own. At least I am fortunate

that
she is not nearly as Internet savvy as yours because she doesn't even

know
what a newsgroup is, much less have the ability to open one up and

either
download new messages or read existing messages.
