Nope, you are not dumb. But, you do tend to **** folks off when you
cross post to all those newsgroups!!!

You can't remember not to reread their post in other groups? I think I can
remeber the title of their post and no click on it again. And yes he IS
supposed to crosspost rather that repost it individually to different
groups, that does waste bandwidth and server space. There is nothing wrong
with crossposting if it's on topic for all the groups, which this was.

What is he supposed to do, post to one group and hope the person who has
the
answer reads that group, if not repost to another?


AND, because I am not certain that you even read one specific newsgroup,
I MUST POST to replies to them ALL!!!!!


Why bother to reply at all if you're not going to even answer their
question?!

Again there is nothing wrong with crossposting if the question is on
topic
for the groups it's crossposted to, that's what crossposting was made for.

I'll second that! Cross posting? Big F___ing deal. There's plenty of other
**** going on in the world worth worrying about, expend your energy on one
of them rather than give some poor ******* **** for such a petty thing as
cross posting. Or maybe take up a new hobby or something to help occupy your
time?

The OP crossposted without including a "REPLY-TO" in his header. That is
what made his crosspost so bad.

BFD!

Why ask such an obvious question.

It is exactly what it looks like.

I am not reall dumb. Honest. Or so my mum tells me.

BUT .. what is the plastic box thing I have seen inside a few PC
cases It is like a four inch cube which is mounted against the
front aperture where a case fan might have gone.

The boxe has some slot type things on the back as if they were to
be used for mounting something or another.

Surely such a thing makes a din if a fan was installed
actually inside them? Or have I completely got the wrong end of
the stick about this box thing/

You are confusing "REPLY-TO:" with "FOLLOW-UP:"

Especially if you have "view threads with new articles". If he
didn't crosspost it, you -would- see it a dozen times no
matter what settings you used.

As the "crossposter" I was wondering at the vehemence of the
outburst and began to think Mozilla could not mark crossposts in
other newsgroups as read after one of messages had been read.

I can see no cross-posting in this thread. Possibly you
multi-posted, which is a differently colored cat.

You are, of course, correct. [It was a long day.]

You did not go back far enough in the thread.

On this we agree.
