J Naman, please comply to the Usenet posting standards yourself - here:
line length - before you even try to ask others to change their posting
habits.
This is Usenet, not a web forum or a Google forum. If you'd been using
a Real Newsreader you'd certainly be better aware of that fact. Then
you'd also see that the text you were addressing was part of a randomly
generated signature, not part of the topical post/conversation. (A real
newsreader would make that quite obvious, BTW; signatures are displayed
differently and are not inserted in quoted replies, for example.)
Since we're at it, Laurent, you too, get informed about Usenet and try
complying to Netiquette; post context. Get informed!
Other Google users flooding Usenet newsgroups should check the Usenet
Netiquette as well before continuing to post. It's sad that even long
time regulars here that switched to the Google interface forgot about
where they are and about the Netiquette.
I'm too old to really care, but if all those Googlies (Google Usenet-
newbies) start to try enforcing their own rules while not complying to
long time existing Usenet Netiquette it's time to speak up.
(Google users will know how to use the [Google] search engine to find
the Netiquette and information about Usenet newsgroups, so I abstain
from doing their homework and providing the link.)
