have to tab down through *four* screens before you get to a reply!

Use the page down key to get to the end of the text.

Then there are those who snip out everything previously discussed so that
what they say in their replies make no sense because they have absolutely
nothing at all to do with the original topic and is now only about their own

A narcissistic Moo cow with delusions of being normal? How bizarre can you

Do you expect Outlook to reach out and slap someone's hand for not doing
thing to your liking? It just ain't gonna happen, babe!

ROTFLMAO!

After buying a nice set of 3 crock pots from Big W I am left
with
the
smallest which is approx 15cm across.

I would like to put a small house plant in it, but can you
reccommend
one
that:

a) Won't get too big and need transferring to another pot.

b) Doesn't require too much sun.

c) Looks nice throughout the year (does matter if it is plants
all
the
time
or just nice foliage).

Many thanks!

Moo

Since you don't like top posters, you probably would prefer to pee
under
the
pot anyway!!!!


No, it is just that top posting is such a pain in the arse!

Example

A: Because it is crap


Q: Why is top posting bad?

************************
Convention. You read from the top downwards and the story enfolds
itself.
With News-Grp's people sweep past all the guff at the top and when they
reach the bottom line to answer they have to seep all the way back up to
the
top.

Or even worse, if you get someone who top posts, followed by someone who
posts normally but doesn't paste the original reply to the bottom,
followed
by someone who top posts!? How on earth would you follow that thread
properly! Top posting is bad and it is because of software like Outlook
that people do it so much, Outlook makes no effort to stop people top
posting, in fact it places the cursor complete with a new line, right at
the
top of the message.. grrr.

Not that I want to go on about this sort of thing but top-posting is a
widely accepted no-no and the software that the majority of us use to post
should at the very least assist..

Hello kill-file!

I wonder what the point of this is? The person being kf-ed doesn't care,
or at most regards it as one more feather in his cap. And whoever does
the kf-ing usually posts a bit of the rubbish they're reacting to for
the rest of us to see, which is all very well, except those of us who
have *already* kf-ed the idiot have done so because we *didn't* want to
see anything they wrote. And I don't imagine for one minute it has any
sort of deterrent effect. Is the hope that newbies will get to know
that some sort of standards prevail?

There is no need for the lines of asterisks.
Editing posts you reply to is normal usenet practice.
Making other people scroll through pages of unnecessary quotations is
the fast track to being ignored by many regular users of this group.
Encouraging abusive trolls by reposting their trash for them, is
another fast track to joining them in the killfile.

There's a weekly post called abc fornewcomers to urg which may be
useful to you.
