I guess I am one of the bad guys, I'm sorry that I started a new tread but I
"just can't help myself".

Any help you could give me as to where I may be able to get help would
be appreciated

Sincerely

Burr

Replys should stay within the thread from which they originated.

You must be new to Usenet. When a thread goes off on such a tangent that
it
has nothing to do with the original post, the polite thing to do is
rename
the thread...preferably with a Was: in front of the old name. That way
people who want to follow the original, on-topic discussion can do so
without wading through all of the other, unrelated crap. Let's say we're
discussing images, and cuhulin chimes in that his dog Blueberry
www.cattledog.com just farted in his open mouth. That leads off to a
thread
of discussion that has nothing to do with images, like why is his open
mouth
so close to Blueberry's ass in the first place? Anyone who wants to
follow
the images conversation has to wade through the farting cattledog
replies.
Not good.

So then someone renames the thread "Cuhulin sucks dog farts Was: images".

That's good. See, when the replies aren't to the original thread, they
don't
belong in the thread they originated in.



Actually I am not new to usenet. And I made the invalid assumption that
those
reading would know to only create a new thread when the actual subject of
the
discussion changed. Most of the violaters here start a new thread
everytime
they reply to a post. *That* is what I am complaining about.

Thanks.
