'real' knowledgeable FF expert can put in their signature to let
newsgroup posters know that the advise is coming from someone who is

advise??
Getting leery about following other novice's 'best guess' advise
regarding problem fixes.
If there isn't one, there needs to be one. FF expert designation, that
is.

Thanks for that info, Chris. I have seen the Champion designation, but
did not know the significance.

Don't forget Lee and Irwin - they also tend to camp out in here too.
I don't know how up to date the list is, but a list of the Mozilla

There are "Champions" - a program that began with Netscape. However,
those folks are now few. A good practice is to read the group/s
regularly. You soon will get a sense for the "regulars" who most
demonstrate courtesy and accuracy. Some maintain excellent FAQs, such
as http://uFAQ.org and http://ilias.ca/mozilla/

I agree with the advice 'follow the ng discussions'
For what its worth, I would add 'Nir' and 'Leonidas Jones' ('Lee') to the
already mentioned persons.
gwtc
himself from that designation, but he's still listed as one on the
champions website. As far as I know hb is also one [I could be wrong
on that]. And, don't forget the argumentative Moz Champ Dan. There's
also Holger Metzger, and Sailfish

It comes to the end of Bill Gates long, successful life, he finds
himself in the Purgatory waiting room, when God enters . . . "Well,
Bill," says God, "I'm confused. I'm not sure whether to send you to
Heaven or Hell: you helped society enormously by putting a computer in
almost every home in the world, and yet you've also created some of
the most unearthly frustrations known to mankind. I'm going to do
something I've never done before: I'm going to let you choose where
you want to go." Bill replies, "Well, thanks, God. What's the
difference between the two?" God says, "I'm willing to let you visit
both places briefly to help you make your decision." "Okay, where
should I go first?" asks Bill. God says, "That's up to you." Bill
says, "OK, let's try Hell first." So Bill goes to Hell. It's a
beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters. There are thousands
of beautiful women running around, playing in the water, laughing and
frolicking about. The sun is shining, the temperature is just right.
The whole thing looks perfect, and Bill is very pleased. "This is
great!" he tells God, "If this is Hell, I REALLY want to see Heaven!"
"Fine," says God, and off they go . . . to be continued!

The European Union commissioners have announced that agreement has
been reached to adopt English as the preferred language for European
communications, rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a
five-year phased plan for what will be known as EuroEnglish (Euro for
short). In the first year, "s" will be used instead of the soft "c".
Sertainly, sivil servants will resieve this news with joy. Also, the
hard "c" will be replaced with "k." Not only will this klear up
konfusion, but typewriters kan have one less letter. There will be
growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome
"ph" will be replaced by "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20
per sent shorter. In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new
spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated
changes are possible. Governments will enkourage the removal of double
letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al
wil agre that the horible mes of silent "e"s in the languag is
disgrasful, and they would go. . . to be continued!

Well, sometimes the truth hurts. Grin.
Many of us here are retired, or just tired.
Still, what works for one may not work for another. The broad
experience I have seen recounted here often leads to confusion because
the spectrum of users, and uses, is so wide that advice is often
ineffective for a given user. In such cases, it is good that many
possible solutions are available.

Dan, Honestly...
I appreciate your honesty that you think you're an idiot. It makes it
easier for me to say it to you too! :)
Dan, I know you try hard, and you're trying to help other people.
Helping others is a very difficult thing to do, and I want to thank you
for trying, but if you don't have concrete knowledge and proof of what
you're saying, it's best to keep the mouth shut (or in the subject of
usenet, keep the fingers off the keyboard)..
Thank you for trying Dan, keep trying, and you may get there.

threads. Since when was that established

There's this fella with a parrot. And this parrot swears like an old
salt, I mean he's a pistol. He can swear for five minutes straight
without repeating himself. Trouble is, the guy who owns him is a
quiet, conservative type, and the bird's foul mouth is driving him
nuts. One day, it just gets to be too much and the guy grabs the bird
by the throat, shakes him really hard, and yells, "QUIT IT!" But this
just makes the bird mad and he swears more than ever. Then the guy
gets angry and says, "OK for you," and locks the bird in a kitchen
cabinet. This really aggravates the bird and he claws and scratches,
and when the guy finally lets him out, the bird cuts loose with a
stream of vulgarities that would make a sailor blush. At that point,
the guy is so mad that he throws the bird into the freezer. For the
first few seconds there is a terrible din. The bird kicks and claws
and thrashes. Then it suddenly gets very quiet. At first the guy just
waits, but then he starts to think that the bird may be hurt. After a
couple of minutes of silence, he's so worried that he opens up the
freezer door. The bird meekly climbs onto the man's outstretched arm
and says, "Awfully sorry about the trouble I gave you. I'll do my best
to improve my vocabulary from now on." The man is astounded and amazed
at the transformation that has come over the parrot. Then the parrot
says, . . . to be continued

He made a statement. Thread is Dead. He then asked you PLEASE to take it
elsewhere. Whats wrong with that?
I often mark threads OT - or request that people bottom post, its done
with courtesy and an appeal to decorum. Just as Chris does, or John did.

[TID] when it was invented by Bill Horne (retired Champion) was meant
only to flag a thread that had deteriorated into one that is considered
off-topic henceforth. It wasn't meant to "close" a thread.

Nobody I know of "closed" the thread, just declared it dead, as in
off-topic to the nth degree.

Or the square of the nth. IAE, I didn't declare it closed, as I have no
power to do so, and if I did, I wouldn't exercise it in this case.
But it's moribund, at the least.

Great to see you back, Lee - as others have already indicated, we missed

And by the way, another eminent list member is Ed Mullen, who appears to
have had a brief Champion interlude before retiring again =-O

Is it too late to make that declaration, or has rigor mortis set in?
Thanks to those who clarified what a 'Champion' is, and a special
thanks to all who are.
I hereby declare this thread closed.
Teflon
p.s. To clear up any confusion, in a former incarnation, I used the
nickname Spam Bait (the OP of this thread), but then I found out how
good the gmail spam filters work, so I changed my nickname to Teflon.
John McWilliams
rest this thread, although no rights or privileges accrue to OP's to do
so except on their private servers, in spite of declaration to the
contrary.....
As you have seen, there's a range of expertise and willingness to share
same in an even handed manner both among Champions, former Champions,
regular users, and sporadic members. Observation is helpful, but there
are no senior citizen tests, unlike drivers' licenses in California, so
you pays your money and takes yer choice often.
