Only by top posters like you who don't know how to properly post on Usenet.

MS configured OE and now Windows Mail to top post. MS configured, you
believed it and that settles it. Praise Microsoft!

Liberating, actually, being as I have no plans on using OE or WM for
news groups. This very computer has OE and I have never used it for
anything. You must admit, OE and WM aren't exactly on their high
priority to-do list.

What a deal. Perfect for Gutsy, after wiping the Vista Virus off the
hard drive. 512 MB of RAM isn't quite enough for Vista Virus Bloatware
so you'd have to add the cost for 1.5 GB of RAM for Vista to not have to
hobble along as much.

Yeah, 512 MB RAM with Vista Virus Premium will be lightening fast.

Walmart trusts you enough to give you a card?

Re: Walmart offers for a wimpy $39.00

Typical assumptions when the facts disagree with what you want to
believe.

The FACT is top posting in many newsgroups including these is
acceptable as is bottom posting.

Some newsgroups/forums have stated policies.
Some have a custom.
These newsgroups as well as others have neither as demonstrated by top
and bottom being common.

Of course if you can point to something authoritative where Microsoft
has a stated policy for these newsgroups, I would acknowledge it.
Until then it is only you attempting to force your will on others and
I as well as many others choose to ignore your pointless belief.

Interesting that it is usually the critics that are so adamant theirs
is the only way when other ways are acceptable.
Perhaps it is a reflection on their general intolerance of others who
choose to do things different than the way they like.

It is up to YOU to deal with it.
YOU need to accept it or change.
The choice is entirely up to you.

How many more times does some nitwit MVP need to be told that
Microsoft neither owns or runs this newsgroup. Damn, you're an idiot
because you keep commenting suggesting they do just like you love to
pretend you're the hall monitor. Get a life, please!

>Interesting that it is usually the critics that are so adamant theirs
>is the only way when other ways are acceptable.


In the English language you write top to bottom. Period. No
exceptions. Only some mind numbing doofus thinks the shit he needs to
babble should be read first which is why bags of hot gas like you are
top posters.

>Perhaps it is a reflection on their general intolerance of others who
>choose to do things different than the way they like.


Has nothing to do with intolerance or what you like you babbling
baboon. It's custom and proper to add your comments following what
somebody else said so somebody new to the thread can follow it in a
logical manner reading what was said first then next and so on. Some
simple minded buffoons are trying to argue, well you don't feel like
it. So does that mean you get to decide you should stop at green
traffic lights and go at red ones? That would be crazy wouldn't it,
yet that the absurd position you're trying to argue. You want to top
post just because you want to.

>It is up to YOU to deal with it.


I am dealing with it exposing you for the fool you are.

Everything has advantages over everything else if you hammer the logic into
place hard enough (bring several hammers)


What happens when the novelty wears off this religious zeal and and you are
left with yourself and two other OS hippies preaching the "flower power"
message to the last five souls who only live to be against something,
anything .. just as long as it defines them in their minds eye as a 'my own

How do you know its perfect?
Have your disks arrived so you can actually try Ubuntu?
I see you are still posting from windows and not Ubuntu of any species.
IME there is little difference between 7.10 and 7.04 (especially with the
updates) so if 7.10 is good enough then 7.04 should also be good enough, the
*applications are the same*.
Why not stop being a "do as I say" boy and be a "do as I do" man and scrub
your windows like you advise everyone else?

I've already explained why I am using Windows. Please try to keep up.
Within a week, all my posts will be from Gutsy, whether the CDs come to
my door or not.

That said, I don't plan to scrub XP because I need it for gaming. When
the gaming industry wakes up and smell the coffee and starts making
games for Ubuntu, XP will only be a memory.

I have noticed that certain ones have no
reasonable comment to diprove you they come back
with Don't top(bootom)post, your time stamp is
wrong, there's something wrong with your sig, or
they hit you on a typo.

WalMart says the supplied hardware is sufficient. As you know, big - really
big - companies can't afford to misrepresent things.
