Follow-up set. Newsgroups not edited since others reading this mis-crossposted thread might be interested. In article <slvrmnDKG0ns.6vn@netcom.com>, Albert Silverman <slvrmn@netcom.com> wrote: >Hey Loony Johnny, come answer this post. And let's have a few of your >famous apologies. At a guess Al I would say his phone connection is the root of most of his problems. Combined with the likelihood he is using the bug infested Netluser software. 2 hours to download Netscape with a 14.4 modem gives an indication that either he has something misconfigured with his modem or a real noisy line. Noisy lines are prone to disconnections. Abrubt disconnections cause problems for many computers. Combined with the somewhat unstable Netcruiser interface he is practically gauranteed thiings like GPF's and Loss of Control errors. A topic discussed frequently in the netcrusier groups. Its such a prevalent problem that even Netcom is reccomending people experienceing these problems to switch to the "unsupported" Winsock apps. A for his posts going missing; did he post spam, try to post to a moderated group, or did he post innapropriately to a domain such as christnet - where even Steve Winter now admits innapropriate or offensive material can and will be deleted? Or was he posting to invalid newsgroups like he did in this thread. 4 invalid newsgroups in the newsgroups line. And one of these was most likely the moderated netcom.announce just misspelled. Two days lack of service. Netcom was down for two days this month due to the weather in CA. And was down several times over the past three months for upgrades - all of which was mentioned in the motd. No apologizing there Al. Just reality. -- Yesterday upon the stair I met a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today -- I think he's from the CIA.
