What's annoying ( UC)

If I do that, I delete the previous posts within a minute or so. I use
USENET. It allows me to remove earlier posts.

You're the only poster I've seen who regularly does this; invariably,
there will be one UC post (usually a reply to another message), followed
by another, or sometimes 2 or 3, nearly identical messages. What's the
problem--don't you know how to edit posts before clicking "Send"? C'mon,
you can do better than that. From now on, how about trying to get it all
in there the first time? Other people seem to manage this fairly well.

Google Groups to get to USENET. It allows me to remove earlier posts.

UC, posts from USENET cannot be deleted. Usenet messages are broadcasted
to hundreds of news servers. In fact this message shows up twice.

Are you saying you post similar messages multiple times just in case you
delete one on your newsreader? Odd, and I don't see how that can happen on
Google.

No, I add a new one with changes and delete the old one.

Not quite true; posts *can* be deleted (only by their author). (Look in
your news/mail client's "Edit" menu; should be a "Delete" item.) But
this thing is, *it doesn't always work*. In UC's case, apparently,
hardly ever.

Yes, but you see, *it doesn't work*. Don't you see that? Don't you see
all your multiple posts here? I do, and so does everyone else.

Not a good practice, anyhow; why don't you just post the one message you
intend to? You're trying to treat Usenet like Microsoft Word; it ain't
the same thing.

A: Top posting.
Q: What's the most annoying thing about Usenet?

Hmm, perhaps Google is broken. You think you have posted one message, am I
correct, containing the line:

This seems to show up only once on Google. In fact you have posted two
articles to USENET, with the following message-ids:

. com
.com

I agree, it appears on Google that you have superceeded the first post, but
it seems from this limited look that is only true on Google. It is worth
looking at the newsgroups using a newsreader, e.g. Thunderbird, to see what
I mean.

Does anyone know of something similar to Google that could be used as a
check?

Pete
