Hi Frank,
I explained exactly what happened, which is that the brainless gnat Joerg
buzzed me, having zero intention to be anything but annoying, so I swatted
him as one would swat a gnat, without thinking all that much about my
response, which, in his doing, was about his incorrect assumption about
headers.
Do you comprehend that simple fact yet?

Frank, you play silly tricks, where I've been on Usenet for decades, so I
know the simple rules of quoting etiquette, which is, I might remind you,
well known so I assume you are aware of this classic advice:
http://www.html-faq.com/etiquette/?quoting
Please don't ascribe to malice what is a simple fact that I always follow
that simple rule of quoting what you're responding to.
That you don't like such facts, doesn't make them not facts.
Do you agree Frank - that the quoting advice I referenced, is a fact?
> Don't be the usual obnoxious pompous twat!
Frank ... you are the one who asked a confused question about headers.
That you know I know what headers are, and that you /still/ asked what
amounts to a confused question about headers, does not make me a twat.
That you instantly resort to your fifth grade vocabulary is obvious, when
all I did was ask you to clarify what was, in effect, a very confused
questions.
To repeat, I know what headers I can change and I know what headers I can't
change. If you want to play silly semantic games about that statement, then
please simply clarify what silly semantic game you want to play Frank.
Bear in mind, my statement to Joerg had about as much attention from me as
what I would expend in swatting away an annoying gnat who had zero
intention to be helpful with respect to answering the question posed in
this thread.
Since you, Frank, appear to be very interested in headers, and since I
already explained to you, Frank, that your question came across as
confused, all I ask you, Frank, is to clarify your technical question about
headers.

Hi Frank,
You asked an off-topic question about headers, and I told you very clearly
that your question came off as confused, since my point to Jeorg, who had
brought up headers, not me - was that headers are easily changed.
That you then brought up a question about which headers are easily changed
is fine, if that's what you want to know about.
But now, I find out that simply asking you to clarify your question about
headers results in a hate-filled tirade from you about "twats", is a bit
disconcerting.
Do you talk to your own mother that way, calling her a twat, if she simply
asks you to clarify a simple off-topic question from you?
Remember Frank, it's you who asked the question about headers.
What is it Frank, that you want to know more about with respect to headers?
> I'm trembling in my wooden shoes! NOT!
Do you notice, Frank, how you respond to a simple question for you to
clarify your own off-topic question?
DO you realize that you instantly resort to using the word "twat", simply
becuase I aswked you to clarify your question about headers?
I sincerely want to help you Frank, to answer your question about headers,
but I just ask you to ask your question in a non-confusing way, so that we
can all benefit from your completely off-topic question about headers.
In fact, if you really want a thread just about headers, I suggest, Frank,
that you open a /new/ thread, outside of this one, about headers.
Can you do that Frank?
For all of us?
I promise I'll give you the help and advice you asked of me earlier.
> The ones you did *not* mention!
C'mon Frank. Are you simply playing silly semantic games.
Do you think I can't change the NNTP posting host header, for example, just
because I forgot to mention it in that off-the-cuff post to you?
Look at the nntp posting host header in this very post, for example.
Question for you Frank, and please answer is faithfully because you not
comprehending fact does not make it fact. Do you understand Frank?
Good.
Here is the question:
Q: Is my NNTP posting host /different/ from one you've ever seen me use?
A: (This is for you to answer Frank.)
Now, here's the question that is relevant to the quoted text above:
Q: Did I mention that header in the response you responded to?
A: (HINT: The answer is no.) So you're wrong Frank. Dead wrong.
That you don't comprehend facts, does not make them NOT facts, Frank.
That you are intentionally playing silly semantic games is the fact here.
> Did you *really* think that I would fall for your cherry-picking!?f
Frank. I just proved to you that my off-the-cuff list wasn't even all
inclusive, so it wasn't "cherry picking".
This whole discussion is a complete waste of everyone's time, Frank.
That you want to play silly semantic games is fine, but why don't you play
your silly semantic games in some other thread, Frank?
This thread is simply about what mobile device technology a certain bomber
used, where you seem to want this thread to be about silly semantics about
headers.
If you want to ask about headers, Frank, why can't you ask in a thread of
your own with a topic of your own?
What is your problem that you can't ask a question in your own thread that
is completly unrelated to the topic that is in this thread.
Do you not comprehend the topic of this thread, Frank?
Seriously. That's an adult question. From one adult, presumably to another.
What part of the topic of this thread do you need me to clarify for you?
>> Frank Slootweg. Are you being serious as an adult?

Again, you /instantly/ refert to your fifth-grade potty-mouthed stage the
moment an adult provides facts that prove you're simply playing silly
semantic games.
If you truly wanted help from me on headers, you'd ask the question
separately on your own thread instead of polluting this thread with your
off-topic and confused questions.

Notice how childishly you acted here Frank.
If you truly cared about the answer to your question, you'd ask your
question in its own thread.
This thread is simply about one thing and one thing only:
