Heya Griff, that person was a complete dick!
They had no compulsion to assist or expand knowledge (teach).
That person wanted nothing more than to show off what they *think* they know
about Usenet and used you as a platform, poor form!
I'm glad I was able to jump I there, there was no need for their rant and I
hope they reply, I will happily become the most hated person on Usenet (read
cuss words, religion and politics ) to put this dickhead off. personally I
think they're a shill, replying to your post as a one of....we'll see..
