Perhaps you should change that simple mass of tangled nervematter within your enormous skull for a brain Anthony. I'm sorry I mistook you for someone with at least half a clue to begin with. FYI O'clueless bumbler, I have tried a few different newsreaders and mail readers - strangely without having to change my operating system! I think in future I will merely amuse myself by watching you blunder around in your fog of ignorance instead of trying to help. In fact, I will offer you one last piece of advice, you seeping puss-sack: Emigrate to America and sign up with AOL. Even a mental dwarf such as yourself may be able to operate at that level. >> FyRE < Just a Part-timer > >Don't give up your paying job (if you have one). On the contrary, do you hail from a large family? If so I may indeed take up a job in computer consultancy, since the business is obviously there for the taking. >With all the hot air being blown around here I have not seen anything to >suggest that any other ISP is even attempting to match the Demon service, >as it affects ME. You sound like BBS material to me. Perhaps you'd better leave this "cyberspace" <chuckle> technology to people armed with the intelligence required to exploit it. >I understand that Zetnet intends to start up a mail2news >gateway in the future and perhaps only then Demon may I find an alternative >provider for my particular set of requirements. Just when did you crawl from the primordial sludge, brainwave boy? Do you know how to use a search engine? Do you know how many *publicly accessable* mail2news gateways there are? Do you ask your mother to switch your 286 on for you? You are truly the most stupid individual I have ever had the misfortune to encounter in a newsgroup Anthony, and believe you should perhaps learn a little about a subject before trashing people who try to help you out. And for some reason I get the feeling your life is going to consist in the main of people helping you along.... >Regards, Goodbye twit, -- FyRE < Just a Part-timer >
