Please follow the net etiquette rules and post at the bottom. Outlook
Express is crap get a real news reader. There are some free ones out there,
I use xnews and its free, so is restricted Agent. If you post on the bottom
It makes the thread more readable. No I'm not a grumpy old fart, if I was
why would I post recipes?...just following the rules of polite written
conversation.

Why not? Sometimes I'm also a grumpy old fart and I also post recipes.

I agree with your sentiments, but I suspect your manner may not get the
results you requested. "Please" is good, but instruction, as against
persuasion, rarely works on usenet.

Particularly when you've already dismissed the rules used on that
person's other means of communicating with diabetics as much too
restrictive for your free spirit.

This is my grumpy old fart mode. I do have other modes, depending on how
I'm approached:-)

It'd be nice to know who you were last time you were around these
groups.


Cheers, Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.

Yes wouldn't it....I've been Hahabogus on usenet since I think at least 97.
Possibly longer. You have google...use it.

I had googled before writing that. Your style looked familiar.
There was very little for "Hahabogus" before Sep 04 in the diabetes
groups except for this snippet from '02:

"From: hahabogus )
Subject: soups
Original Format
Newsgroups: alt.food.diabetic
Date: 2002-01-06 13:59:59 PST

I'm not a diabetic but perhaps:"

I presume you've had some bad news since then judging by what you've
posted on alt.support.diabetes, and you just had an interest in cooking
before that.

If you are a new diabetic, I sympathise and hope that you're getting
something out of a.s.d. and here. Maybe that explains, but doesn't
excuse, the attitude. If you're not I have to wonder about your agenda.

But, whichever you are, you come across as a rude self-centred prick who
considers themselves far more intelligent than the rest of us mortals
waiting here for your pearls of wisdom. I agree with your views on
top-posting with some reservations, and I've had no problems with your
posts on a.s.d., but to instruct Kate the way you did after denigrating
the chat forum, then plonk Sherry for expressing her opinion, is
churlish and discourteous at best.

You'll do what you want - I presume I just got plonked too. You sure are
going to get a limited value out of a.s.d if you plonk all who disagree
with you or top post. You'll only have Chung, Mu or doe to read. You'll
not learn much from those three.

Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.

Ye gads, not another bottom post vs top post crank! I actually prefer
top posting so I don't have to scroll through all the stuff that people
don't delete to get to the bottom to read the bottom post. If the
poster doesn't make enough sense in his/her response to get the idea of
what he/she talking about, I then scroll down and read the previous
post, but normally there's enough info that spending all that time
scrolling isn't necessary.

Life is too short to spend it scrolling down and re-reading what I've
already read.

Sherry
