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. David Nebenzahl wrote: One suggestion for something you might do to help make your case (and clean up this newsgroup while you're at it): enough with the multiple posts already! 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. -- The only reason corrupt Republicans rule the roost in Washington is because the corrupt Democrats can't muster any viable opposition. |

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. -- http://www.petezilla.co.uk |

UC, posts from USENET cannot be deleted. Usenet messages are broadcasted to hundreds of news servers. In fact this message shows up twice. 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. -- The only reason corrupt Republicans rule the roost in Washington is because the corrupt Democrats can't muster any viable opposition. |

UC spake thus:

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.

You think you have posted one message, am I correct, containing the line: If I do that, I delete the previous posts within a minute or so. I use Google Groups to get to USENET. It allows me to remove earlier posts. 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?
