Nothing there is false... This article to which I am replying and

Sure you posted to AUK. that's where the article appeared... or
didn't you know that. if you don't know what you are doing, I suggest
you stop.


Nothing misleading at all.


No one doesn't that need to see the entire article to see who you are
relying to and in which order each set of comments was made. you have
removed both content and context.


Newreader.. I see you are using a web browser to read usenet. <sigh>

Sorry... I thought you had half a clue... I see you don't have any
chance of obtaining a clue even if you were provided a road map and
guide...


It is 1) extra work on your part. 2) it does remove contents and
3.alters the context... Please stop altering my posts when you
reply...


<gibberish>


They do and you are matching several of them...

I didn't add the alt.usenet.kooks newsgroup. I make it a
policy never to originate a cross-posting. But I also
make it a policy never to trim the cross-postings in any
message to which I am responding. I subscribe to three newsgroups:
misc.education.home-school.misc, misc.education.home-school.christian,
and rec.arts.books. Your post got responded to by me only because
you posted to misc.education.home-school.christian and I read it
there.

I said:
The problem with that is of course I didn't post to alt.usenet.
kooks. I posted a *response* to your message in misc.education.
christian.
Bob Officer:

I responded to a post which had been cross-posted to a newsgroup I
subscribe to. The point is that the automagic attribution information
which you call standard format gets some of the information wrong. It
perfectly well could have identified me as posting from misc.education.
home-school.christian, but instead misidentified the group inside of
which I was posting as alt.usenet.kooks. Which is really what I said,
isn't it? That it gives false information.

I said:
interface I use (three different ones on different machines)
presents the message headers in a threaded (treed) format.
It's perfectly easy to see which post I am responding to
and who are the previous participants in the thread.
Bob Officer:
Newreader.. I see you are using a web browser to read usenet. <sigh>

Nope. I am using Netscape's mail reader (for both mail and news)
on two machines, and the Outlook newsreader in another. The
only time I resort to a web browser is when I am on a strange
computer (a computer in a library, say) where I can always get
to usenet via Google.

Bob Officer:
Sorry... I thought you had half a clue...

I've been on usenet since 1988, when I used rn (readnews) on
a Unix machine.

I wrote scientific papers in the mid 1980's collaborating
long-distance with two newly fledged postdocs (I was still
a graduate student at that point) by email, when the thing---
the net---was variously called BITNET and ARPANET.

Bob Officer:

Having your posts left unaltered when I reply to them is
not an option. The whole point *is* to trim them, and reply
to the part that needs replying to. The shame is that so
many posters to usenet do not trim that to which they are
replying.
