Again, the cat was dying. Why make fun of a poor, sick, dying animal?
She was beautiful when she was healthy and I loved her until her last
breath. And 18 months later, still do. So leave her alone. She did
nothing to you.

And frankly, neither did I, whoever you are. So what, I made a mistake
and posted a private email to a public forum 10 years ago. I didn't
want to be that woman's friend. So what? It's got nothing to do with
you. Or Greg for that matter. Wanna talk about UGLY? Ugly is
reposting bullshit that occurred 10 years ago. I never intended for
that woman to see that correspondence. It was a mistake. And I
apologized. But what you two engage in against me is truly UGLY
because you are doing it with the express intention of hurting me. You
two sit there and search Google looking for posts that I made 10-12
years ago. I haven't posted to this ng in at least 4 years. But one of
you is still trashing me every couple of months. You're both mentally
ill.
Why do I have the urge to call you Curt?

My mailers are dedicated. They do not even have usenet browsers...
altho' I can supposedly e-mail from MT. I just don't have it configured
to do so so it won't work.

actually, i think the i.e. tab doodad works better than the coral i.e. tab.

i like firefox, but sometimes pages don't display properly. it's my
understanding that those pages aren't written to HTML code standards, but
something a little sloppier that i.e. is happy with.

the i.e. tab is nice to have when you encounter them.

that's what i see as his major sin. he knows many people have him
killfiled, so he changes his address. the fact that he usually signs as
himself (after a post that would have been killed) doesn't mitigate that.

being an asshole is one thing; being a stealth asshole is even worse.

Speaking just for myself, I've sent off a few posts that I regretted.
Once in a while, I've written a post, and then not sent it, but saved it
until the next day. Sometimes I sent it then, sometimes I just deleted
it.

In other words, I try to act like an adult, but sometimes I fail.

I use MT Newswatcher also. Mine is configured to send mail, and I have
done that. I don't have it set to send a copy to me, though. So I
remember mailing somebody, but can't find a record of it in my Email.
Of course, if I *did* send a copy to myself, it would be in my
*incoming* mail, and I would we looking in my *outgoing* mail.

Exactly, but it wasn't just a change of address... he was spoofing

It has been standard practice in the German military that one cannot file a
complaint against a subordinate or superior officer until 72 hours has
elapsed. It is surprising how many complaints evaporate in 72 hours.
