Hi Sacha,
I'm sorry, Sacha, but how is it I am cross-posting (I'm not even sure
what that means!)? I choose the post that I've received and want to reply
to, add my comments and click on "Reply Group".
What am I doing wrong? If you can tell me, I'll be pleased to stop! I
said I was new to newsgroups and I was serious! I honestly have no idea
what you mean.
Actually, I think I see. I've just had a look at the newsgroups that this
Pies belongs to and, I suppose, when I click on "Reply Group" a copy goes
to all of those groups, which is, obviously, not what I want. I also
suppose I should select from that list the one I want to post to before I
send it. Yes, that would make sense but let me know if I'm right, Sacha.!
Sorry. if that's the problem, and if I've upset anyone, I honestly didn't
know I was doing it.
New to Usenet, then you need these links...
http://home.freeuk.com/sc.i/mindmanners.htm some amusing netiquette.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netiquette some less amusing rather dry
stuff.
http://foldoc.org/?netiquette short and sweet.
If you read those and post by them you will do better than a lot.
And this will certainly come in handy...

the abbreviations iykwim.

Thanks Bob!
There's another very useful link here -

Particularly this part

I see the Sachas of this world are mentioned in their full glory. It
still looks like you need to get out more.

Avoid the rush at the last judgement. Be converted now instead!
PRAYER FOR A NATION
When Pastor Joe Wright, of Central Christian Church, was asked
to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting
the usual politically correct generalities.
But what they heard instead was this:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today to ask Your forgiveness
and seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,
‘Woe on those who call evil good,’ but that’s exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and inverted our values.
We confess that:
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it pluralism;
We have, worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism;
We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle;
We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery;
We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation;
We have killed our unborn and called it choice;
We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem;
We have abused power and called it political savvy;
We have coveted our neighbour’s possessions and called it ambition;
We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression;
We have ridiculed the time-honoured values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, 0 God, and know our hearts today; try us and see if there be some wicked way in us;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have
been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by You, to govern this great state.
Grant them Your wisdom to rule and may their decisions direct us to the centre of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your Son, the Living Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.”
