Actually my server says you won by at least a minute.

And here I was thinking my server can beat up your server.
Guess it only looks that way. Or something...

Really!? Geez, I despise Giganews. Damn service flakes out half
dozen times a day. SBC/RR must really be bad to make Giga look good.

I like goat and would like to try more of it. What does one look for
when shopping for goat in a "carniceria". What terms used?

So, how do we (outsourced customers) find such information? I find
Giganews is even more customer unfriendly than comcast.... especially
to an outsourced and not-upgraded customer.

One of my fave dishes is cabrito cabeza(?). At work, a older Mex lady
decided to go all the way for a Holloween potluck. She did 2 baked
goat heads. The skulls were displayed whole, devoid of flesh and
hide, but with eyeballs still in place. The prepared meat was around
the base of the skulls and perfect for tacos. It was excellent and
myself and my Vietnamese cow orker were able to gorge ourselves,
having no other takers. We even tried any eyeball. Chewy. I wish I
knew how to prepare it, myself.

Close. I'm using netnews.comcast.net, which is 216.196.97.136. But,
I could try yours. I doubt the difference is significant. One of my
biggest peeves is the lack of the "find parent article" or "find all
children" function. I have to go back and dwnld the whole thread if I
need to back-step. Also, as you said, many articles get dropped. In
my case, it's usually the OP. Another hassle is the use of SSL. There
seems to be a lack of ACK(?) upon posting, so slrn is left hanging
after slrn receives "posting ok" and I have to Ctrl-G 4 times to clear
the hang up everytime I post.

Worse, Comcast treats Giga like a red-headed stepchild. They take the
view that since news is subcontracted to Giga, CC isn't really
providing the service, therefore they aren't really charging for the
service, therefore CC is providing news for free and customers have no
right to complain about it. No kidding, that's their official
corporate stance. Support parrots this double-speak to customers with
a straight face. Stupidest thing I ever heard. You only get one
guess on Giganews' policy. (Comcast who?)

OTOH, I have to admit, except for CC's broadband/cabletv
extortion policy and lousy news service, they are the best my
broadband service has been in the last 8 yrs.

That's one thing that baffles me. I have a Mex fruit stand and
carniceria just around the corner, but never see cabrito, there. Is
it always cabrito? Is it ever "old goat"? LOL!....

The story makes me think: goat stock. Never tried making
it and I wonder if it's any good. Anybody?

I use MT-NewsWatcher on OS X (and OS 9 before) to read from
netnews.comcast. MT-NW has an "Open All References" command that works
just fine. Is that the same thing or similar?

What news reader do you use? Parent and Children?

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Thank goodness I

They are obviously thinking their captive customers will be entranced
by their service.... and they are egotistical morons.

You're too kind. DSL isn't in the same broadband league as cable, so
Comcast is the only game in town.

cabeza = head - and according to your story, it fits. I think I would
have been lost in the crowd with your coworkers.

Thanks, but no Thanks.

It's really quite good. A common taco filling in better taquerias.
Oh, and usually, no skull!
