I see that you are using Forte Agent for your newsreader and that your

Well, I don't blame you... what difference does it make, anyway?


It is enough for me to know that you are from Texas. It is not totally
irrelevant where folks are from.

My point is that a Usenet posting is simply text, period. It hasn't
changed much since the mid-eighties and, back then, you got a mouse at
a pet store and properties were real estate. If you see any, then
someone's client is tacking them on. My reader is a relic and doesn't
see them.


I am up-to-date via my ISP and I expect to see them.

But, yes, I am, in fact, a troll. I say, would you like to have an
argument?


Only an idiot is interested in argument if there is no issue at stake.


The conundrum continues as once again Ed Dolan has contradicted what
he has said (wrote) in the past ...."I LOVE to argue with folks and I
do not even care if I am right or wrong. The argument itself is what
interests me." The duplicitous Dolan can never be taken at face
value.

I enjoy intelligent comment on anything I post to the cycling newsgroups. I am
not interested in any other newsgroups, least of all the kooks one. What an
incredibly stupid way to waste one's time.
