Exactly. :-(

I can count up my 'enemies' on one thumb and I would wish the worse on them.
The hundreds of friends I have wouldn't wish me to even have thoughts on
those lines. :-((

One sometimes wonders just 'what' goes through people' minds!!!!!!!!!

:-(( Just goes to show we all make mistakes but some of us a brave enough to
admit them. That should of course have been "Wouldn't wish the worse on

"ANYONE" is welcome at my house ;-) and the teapot is always on.

You dead right you are ;o) I like that, honesty. I thrive on it too
actually. Though wouldn't you say that Mike is a prime example of
honesty too, to his peril here?

I would very much like to see that we stop taking the **** out of
people now. Note I said 'we' - I'd imagine I've had my fun too. Also
can someone points out to us who will be tolerated to make nasty
remarks on others and who isn't. Like this we will know exactly who
the untouchables are.

Could we also find out who has written the email Sacha has posted on
this thread. They were hints of being 'French' and therefore I would
like to know since I feel some strange coincidences. Paranoid moi?!
Never ;o)

I certainly wondered about those mistakes myself. But while Wanadoo is
French, they own Orange in UK and my account is with Orange, so I don't
think that's significant in itself. I have my own theory about the area
this came from but I'm wondering if anyone else comes up with an answer,
too.

So any news? Who has written this email?

Do I win a prize?

Incidentally Orange and Wanadoo were recently sold to a German company.

Next case.

Sorry but I'm puzzled. You mean you think a poster here sent that email to
me about visiting here? Email me if you prefer. What is a UTC offset?

I was guessing.

In your case it is +0100 it's the difference between your local time and GMT.

"On Tue, 04 Sep 2007 18:52:39 +0100, Sacha "

In helene's case it is shown as -0700 or 7 hours behind GMT
"On Tue, 04 Sep 2007 05:21:18 -0700, wrote:"

GMT is also known as UTC.

I know peoples' computers can sometimes be set a few minutes out here and
there. How can they be set 7 hours 'out'?

I assumed somebody was setting them up wrong in the factory.

Perhaps the Millennium Bug is striking late. ;-) However, a couple of
people kindly took this to email and checked it for me. The overall feeling
is that it was a genuine misrouting.

Are you saying that this mysterious email which was lost to someone else and
suddenly turned up in Sacha's email box, is all down to posting via Google
groups? If so I am glad I have never wandered from my own ISP. Whilst
cruising I am unable to post to newsgroups, monitor yes, but only post via
Google if I wanted to, I think, (but don't know how to do it). Something to
do with bandwidth and Satellite connections.

Oh well it's nice to know that it all ended nicely :-)

I've only used Google groups in the past when something has gone awol with
my news reader or something of that sort. It is - or was - a very
cumbersome way to post and read, IMO. And of course, it's wide open to sock
puppet use.
