Yawn - re Who's the dickhead
The message
from
contains these words:
You're applying the behaviour of your newsreader with everyone else's.
When I delete an item, it's deleted, gone, disappeared into the big
bit-bucket in the sky. It is nowhere on my computer, and I can't go and
collect it from the server.
But it never has been on your computer unless you are running your own
newsserver, you just have a copy inside your newsreader at the very
most.
Is that, or is it not, a newsitem?
.... and you *can* go and collect it from the server, your newsreader
may not be able to but that's not the same thing.
I can't. The server I use doesn't work like that: I'd have to use a
completely different newsfeed.
I do know - I've been using it for more than ten years now, and the
reader I'm using ATM isn't even beta, yet.
