This is very odd. I'm using google groups (not familiar with it just
yet) to post here... I didn't think I reposted anything, and yet here
this is. Please ignore it.

Sorry!

Hi Josh! Long time no post.

The repost is not your fault. Someone (apparently posting from
mindspring.com) cancelled your original post by mistake and has now
reposted it.

Regardless, google.groups, while a very useful archive, is a miserable
newsreader, like all Web-based ones. But then you know this. Get a Mac
and use MacSOUP instead. But then you know this, too.

Victor! I was waiting for you to come back and harrass me. I
missed you!

So... can anyone cancel any post? That seems sort of
counterproductive. And dammit I cancelled both the repost and my "what
happened" reply, and yet you and Steve still saw it and answered. What
craziness is this.

Fwiw, I am running on a Mac. (But you probably guessed that.) An
iBook. Mmm, love the Mac. We just set up new internet service here,
Matt says it's virtually unlimited (our last ISP capped usenet
bandwidth at 1 gig, I think). I'll have to poke around and see if I
can't get trn or something.

I missed you, too! Whatcha been up to? Did you get married yet, or is
Matt still hiking out there?

> So... can anyone cancel any post?

Yes. However, rogue cancels are more than just frowned upon and can
very easily lead to a loss of one's account. Besides, a lot of
newsservers don't honour cancels nowadays, rogue or legitimate.

Cool!

Get MacSOUP instead - there is a MacOS X version now. The current one
is 2.7. See <http://www.snafu.de/~stk/macsoup/>.

Naw, he came back. Cumulatively, he's hiked from Georgia to Vermont!
Probably just needs a few more months to eventually finish, but it'll
be a little trickier to get that kind of time off these days.

Yes, we got married in October. Honeymooned in San Francisco for a
week and a half. We got thrown out of our first hotel - they called
after a few days and said they'd been bought out, the new management
was closing the hotel, and if we needed a few numbers to try and
arrange new lodgings, they might be able to help out. Ha! The rest of
the honeymoon was great - ate some fabulous meals, the weather was
great, saw lots of neat stuff.

What about you? You married yet?

I'll check it out. Matt also offerred to set me up with some variant
of rn (slrn?).

Damn, too late now... :-(( Oh, ah... best wishes, Josh! :-))

What and where in SF??

What do you mean "married yet"?! Stacy is no longer around... :-(((
Besides, I'm an 84-year-old grandmother!

slrn is one of the better newsreaders, indeed. However, it looks and
feels positively repulsive after using MacSOUP. Everything is repulsive
once one gets used to MacSOUP!
