what's it ??
is it different from WORKGROUP ?
is it can use with NT4.0 ??
When a workstation joins a Windows NT domain, the following things take place:
1.. The workstation shows up in computer browser lists as being within the domain, just
as it does when it belongs to a workgroup.
2.. The workstation can use accounts and global groups (but not local groups) from its
domain and from any domain that its domain trusts. (User accounts may be logged on to or
used to remotely connect to the workstation; user accounts and global groups may be
granted permissions to resources such as files, directories, printers, and may also be
granted user rights in the User Manager).
3.. By default, the Domain Admins global group from the domain is added to the
Administrators local group of the workstation, thus making the workstation remotely
adminsterable by domain administrators.
4.. By default, the Domain Users global group from the domain is added to the Users
local group of the workstation, thus making it possible for any user in the domain to log
on or connect to the workstation.
Items 3 and 4 are merely default settings. These global groups may be removed from the
respective local groups at any time by any administrator.
Only XP Pro can be setup to join a Domain, not XP Home.

Answer the question nicely, or go someplace else.
If people future post, they do not deserve help. If people future post *and*
are too damned lazy to even read the built-in help files, they really don't
deserve help, IMO.

People will take the easy way to solve a problem almost every time. If they
don't understand what the help files say about these things, it's a waste of
time to read them. Do you ever wonder why people take instructor lead
course rather than buying a book and learning on their own?
You need to understand the educational process to appreciate that learning
comes in all styles. Let people learn the way they learn best.
If I think a post is asking something too dumb, I either respond with the
solution based on that persons skill level or I don't respond at all. The
newsgroups are here for the support that these people can't find elsewhere.
My statement stands. Either help or don't, but don't insult or flame the
person. It's so easy to do when you aren't face to face isn't it? Just a
bunch of letters typed in at a keyboard. Rather impersonal and lifeless.
However, that degrades the person and makes them afraid to ask another
question. Remember this, there are no stupid questions, just stupid
answers.

Certainly wouldn't PLONK anyone man/woman enough to do that without further
ribbing. Gained my respect.. Not like you care but..
FYI in my browser, I sort by date and the only way it really has any major
effect on the sort is :
1 - its the first post in the thread
2 - You view the group Unthreaded.
Have a nice weekend ;o)
OK, Xnews is a very interesting newsreader, and I now see why you advocate
bottom posting. 8-) But how the heck do you set it up to view all headers
sorted by date? From what I have seen so far the furture posts seem to
affect the threading with Xnews adversly also.
BTW I am posting with Xnews and it is very cool.

See all headers:
Special/ Setup Xnews / Display tab
or when you open the post Click on the first toolbar button.
To sort by date just click on the data header or change a setting in
Xnews.ini:
[Display]
SortOn=Date
SortOrder=-1
Any more q's just let me know ;oP

Dont Click. The choice is always yours. Plenty of other people that want to

The root problem is that outlook express is a decent email client, but
totally and horribly *SUCKS* as a news reader. Think about it for a
moment. Something as trivial as someone on the other side of the world
having their clock mis-set causes thousands of OE users to fiddle with
kill filters, post angry flame messages, and whine endlessly about the
evils of "future posting."
Why should it be so difficult to delete a single message? Other news
readers have no problem dispatching individual messages in different
ways. The rest of the world is not going to stop making errors, and
everybody else isn't going to quit (intentionally or unintentionally)
posting messages with future dates just because you choose to use a
broken news reader. If you feel you must have some feature only
available in OE then you need to recognize that you've chosen a news
client that doesn't handle future dated posts very well due to it's
poor design, and stop whining and complaining about it. Otherwise get
a real news reader and enjoy usenet.
OutlookExpress is free, and worth every penny of it.

Whether a future dated post is intentional, or accidental is
irrelevant, both are going to continue to occur. Your choice to
continue to using OE is in effect choosing to remain a victim, and
that's fine if that's your choice, you just need to accept it, and
understand that the rest of the world is not going to change to
accommodate your choice.
>And slam it all you want, OE works fine for me as a newsreader.
Fine with me, to each his own. I just wish all your OE brethren would
accept the feature set of their chosen news client, and stop
cluttering the news group with "pissing in the wind" messages telling
people about future dated posts. Kill file them, hide read messages,
ignore it, or whatever, and get on with it. Quit complaining about the
choice you've made.

It not a question of Fault, its it's a matter of choice, and accepting the
side effects of the choices made. I wasn't saying you were in error for
choosing OE, just that you should accept it's bad features as well as it's
good, and not expect the world to alter it's behavior because of a design
flaw in your chosen news reader.
>Of course I can sort differently, but I don't want to, because this is how I like to do things.

That's a choice, if you choose to sort that way in OE, you are also
choosing to have future dated posts at the top of the list. That's fine if
that's the way you want to do things, just accept the limitations of your
chosen news client, and don't waste bandwidth with useless whining about
future dated posts.

I wasn't really factoring the motives of the sender, it seems irrelevant,
some are doing it out of malice, some are just accidental, either way the
results are the same on the receiving end.

True. My personal preference is to sort by subject, but if I sorted by
date, the future posts appear at the top. At that point I can read,
respond to, ignore, or delete the future dated post(s). Using OE you don't
have _all_ those same options of dealing with future dated posts. *That* is
the "limitation of your chosen news client."

Each to his own. I use OE as a newsreader, but *don't* use it for
E-mail. And I used to use Free Agent as a newsreader, but
switched to OE because I liked it better (I've also tried the
full Agent, and still prefer OE).

Yes I do remember Winvn, though I personally never used it.
I've no problem with your method, if OE works as you like that's great.
Personally I download a lot of binaries, and I don't particularly care for
OE's interface in general...but that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.
My responses were really directed more at people who seem to get very
frustrated by future dated posts. You see it all the time here, some OE
user will flame a poster with a future date. Another will post an all caps
header screaming "stop posting from the future." These people are pissing
in the wind. They need to either accept the fact that OE doesn't handle
future dated posts well, or choose a news client that does. The rest of the
world isn't going to modify it's behavior to suit them.

Hmmm...according to Scott:
"You can directly delete the post with OE, but you have to go through a
ridiculous routine of doing a "find" on the message, then right clicking it
and moving it to the "Deleted Items" folder."
In Agent you hit the delete key, and the message is gone. By my estimation
the procedure required by OE would fairly be called a limitation. Or was it
just your point that *technically* you _can_ delete individual messages. If
that was your point, I would submit that in practical terms the process is
so needlessly complicated that it is effectively a limitation of OE.

I find the OE interface to be far more congenial and easier to
work with. I also use more than one news server, something OE
supports very well, and Agent doesn't support at all.

Your feeling that OE is a Yugo and Agent a Lexus is just
that--*your* feeling. It's a value judgement, and we don't all
have the same values. In my view, it's the other way around;
Agent is the Yugo, and OE the Lexus.
But I'm not trying to convince you or anyone else that OE is
better than Agent. We all have different tastes and work in
different ways. Features that are to important to you aren't
important to me, and vice versa. That's why I began my post by
saying "to each his own."
There's only one advantage I see to Agent over OE, and that's its
handling of multi-part binaries. When I do that, I *do* use Free
Agent; for all other uses, I use and
prefer OE.
Not a problem. No offense taken.
