When I copied Howie's post, and tried to post it with
Re: For Howie: RTCs Closet Queen Of The Newsgroup - Howard Garland...
Google said I could not use "Re:" because of no article to "Re: " to.
When I posted WITHOUT the "Re :", some article got lost, presumably
because Google saw the same subject by the same author (without a Re:)
and assumed they were duplicate articles.
Sooooooooo, here I am, with an unmistakable NEW subject, in response
to the old article of Howie, whose source was cited above.

Dick, are you posting from some toy web-tv too? When I tried to
follow-up with a reply (from google), I got:
#> Subject must not start with "Re:" unless it is a followup
apparently not recognizing my reply as a reply. Soooooo, I am
deleting the "Re:" so that this can get posted.

Dick, that's what USENET Newsgroups are! An open and public forum for
everyone to express their opinion.
I don't have to imagine, I KNOW how tedious this thread has become. BUT:
1. Howie taunted me to show my CV, but I chose to show his (in part).
2. YOu should have known by now that no post, no thread, is REQUIRED
reading for anyone. So, if you it has become tedious to YOU,
just don't read it!
See how simple it is, Dicky?
-- Bob.
Don't worry, Dick. I know MANY of "us" don't. So, are you the
Opinion rater of this newsgroup, it's god-chosen censor, or just
an officious busybody?

Thank you, CupCaked. :-) I don't usually waste me time
exposing a few skeletons in posters' closets, but in the case
of Howie, he was so smug, and thought he was so clever in
setting up a bait for HIMSELF to brag about himself, I decided
to do part of his work for him.
Just call it PUBLIC SRRVICE. :-))

I guess it never occured to a mental giant like yourself that the
reason you are having problems making followups from google groups is
using google groups as a newsreader is the problem. Get yourself a
proper Usenet newsreader and reply correctly instead of blaming others
for your problems.

I must hasten to correct myself of the "1969" typo, lest someone accuses
me of lying. It was 1979. The Business School Dean got his Ph.D. in
1977. The other two in 1979. Afterall, I didn't get my own Ph.D. till
1970.
But of course all this CV nonsense is entirely IRRELEVANT to any of the
discussion in this or other threads in rec.travel.cruises. It was just
Howie's mis-direction to try to cover up his own inadequacy, as proven
in the discussion on technical, statistical matters involving simple
statistical concepts and percentages.
But this USENET! Obfuscation and mis-direction is the modus operandi
of most posters. What Howie should need is Essen Eisenstein's First
First Law of Holes: "When you find yourself in one, stop digging!"
-- Bob.
It was OBVIOUS that it was a problem using Google as a posting tool.
But that problem is NEW -- only occurred in the past couple of weeks.
Reading and making follow-ups from groups.google.com has advantages
FAR, FAR outweigh such a disadvantage, the chief one is that I always
read posts IN CONTEXT -- knowing who said what about MY posts, and
in what order, etc. Sometimes I am away for weeks without an access
to the internet, and when I return I can read the same thread(s) and
know exactly where the thread had gone had I been reading it weeks
earlier.
> Get yourself a

Google has a "newsgroup" reader that is specifically designed for
reading and looking up the arhcives in ALL newsgroups from 1981.
What do you mean a "proper Usenet newsreader"? If I have to name
ONE as the "proper" one, groups.google.com ("newsgroup" option)
would be it! I have plenty of newsreaders I loathe.
What do mean by "reply correctly"? Google finds the proper thread
and the proper place to slot those "no Re:" posts most of the time
anyway. It's YOUR problem if you can't follow what's going on or
who said what to whom, as clueless LOL Sunny whines on her web-tv.

Google groups is an archive. Good for looking up old dead posts or
research. It is a poor way to read live ongoing discussions. As you
noted in one of your posts it can take hours for a post to appear in
Google groups. Google groups uses a web based interface. That is clunky
for reading newsgroups. It is ironic that you complain about Webtv. You
don't have a clue about Usenet. I suggest you put your Mensa brain to
work and find out something about Usenet before putting your foot in
your mouth.

You should have asked, Howie, Sunny, Goldhaber, and the rest of your

You stuffed the wrong poster in your kill file.
No matter. Anyone who puts ANYONE in a kill fill is an Ostrich
sticking head in the sand, doing censorship the BLIND way, but
continues to make noise on smidgets s/he reads second-hand ...
hence belong to a well-known class of newsgroup readers:

You got that one right.
> Good for looking up old dead posts or research.
You are dead wrong. See my reply to your NEXT comment.
OR reading and posting in any newsgroup. Often while you are reading
or responding to a post, you NEED to look up other posts in the thread
that you get only through archives.
> It is a poor way to read live ongoing discussions.
That shows your INEXPERIENCE with using "archives" to read and post!
I use certain LISTSERV archives to read and post, in which posts
appear in the archives INSTANTLY (ok, a second or two), as soon a
I exit the SEND section to the archive READ section!
>As you

Google acknowledges that it takes 3 to 9 hours for a post to appear,
depending on the traffic. I don't need a chat room. The delay is
a BLESSING in disguise -- think about it as you blurt out your posts
without sufficient thought, like the present one.
What do you think LISTSERV archives use? Web based interface.
> It is ironic that you complain about Webtv.
The complaint is about ITS inability to retain posts for a newsgroup
reader to retrieve! Those were the few occasions that the web-tv was
clogged for posts with reference numbers on it. It has nothing to do
with the speed of reading posts in newsgroups.
Furthermore, google POSTING never had any problem (of the web-tv kind)
retrieving posts sent from ANY of the ngs readers other than web-tv,
and never had any problem retrieving (in reply) to posts posted from
google (such as those of mine)!
> You don't have a clue about Usenet.
Before I make any brash statement about you (which is PROBABLY true),
when was the first time you ever used USENET? When was the first
time you ever used a PC of any kind? When was the first time you
ever used a digital computer of any kind?

Look who is clueless! Google did it for me. You are the same Charles
as that clueless reader who couldn't figure out anything about where
a thread came from and didn't know how to find out, and I took the
time to draw a roadmap for him:

Aha! If you had a clue, you wouldn't have need to ask!
Learn how to use groups.google.com to read newsgroups. Then you
would've been able to read ALL (or any portion) of the this

On some extended header info for posts from webtv, there were
diagnostics that they were not in the suitable format for
newsgroup postings! Go find them, Charles.

Yes, but Mr. Coudriet is known all over Usenet for announcing his
killfiles sorta like a hick who "manages deer" and claims his
masculinity at the local bar while swilling beer on his chin.
I stole it from the Hypocrite who posted the non cruising info above.
I cannot tell a lie.
