Gave us: Yeah, usenet predates the internet! Because we invented its' predecessors too, and were forced to use telnet to SMTP and NNTP until we developed decent newsreaders. And, all your bellyaching can end when you adopt and begin using one of those decent newsreaders! If you are still having problems, have you considered having your mother assist you?

Dear Cec, a long time ago I found a copy of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" in my hands. Translated from the French. I think I had to catch a train. At any rate I didn't have a lot of time to spare. So I read the last few sentences in the book. I was immediately fascinated. I then speed-read the last chapter which was all I had time for. I made a mental note to read the rest of it should the occasion arise. Some years later, by chance, in a strange town, with nothing better to do, I called in a cinema. The film was Charles Laughton as the Hunchback on the pillory pleading to the crowd for water. The gipsy girl gave him a flask I then obtained the book via my local Carneague public library and read the whole thing at a single sitting. They don't write beautiful books like that anymore. Books which read just as well either forwards of backwards. The Carneague library, a present to my home town from the generous USA before I was born, still stands and still much used, amidst the old Victorian, soot-darkened houses in the Black Country where it all began. By the way, I'm on "Vin de Table de France" this evening. ---- Reg. |

Everybody to his own tastes. But I do object to the USA tendency to confuse politics with diet, to mix up CIA invented non-existent weapons of mass destruction, and oil wells and pipelines with frogs legs and snails. French politicians have weighed up the present international situation very accurately and honestly. And acted, not always in accordance with their own interests, but everybody's. After all, in 1793, they were the first of the true revolutionaries. Vive La France! And, of course, their wine. ---- Reg. |
