Interesting premise...lets see the proof..

I dont really care to tell you the truth!

And people wonder why I don't *loooooooove* the Internet with people
with this attitude?  It's like, well, annoying however many people
that read your message!

>I personally think we are being taken for saps by the BIG BOYS who

Gee, you've worked out the principles behind advertising!

>Q1     How many news groups do you subscribe too ??

None.  I drop in to whatever I feel like at the infrequent intervals 
I use nn.

>Q2    What is the greatest amount of replys you have had to one
>posting ??

Three, I think.  One which flamed me, and two which were useless.  I
was a little surprised because I posted a technical query to a technical
newsgroup.  I got flamed because (if I remember correctly) "I should 
do some training before I use a package" and since I've been using that
package for lets see, three years (!) I think I know what I'm talking about.

>Q3    Do you believe the QUOTED figures of how many people are on the
>net !

No (as stated, don't care) but then again, do you believe everything you
read in the paper?

>Q4    Do you believe this message will get more than 10 or 15 replys !

Yes.  I'm sure I can reply more than once - someone always seems to flame
me, which prompts replies...

>Q5   If you run a business and use the net for advertising what sort
>of response do you get from your postings (honestly) ??

I do have my own business name, but why the hell would I use nn for 
ads?  Like someone said in another post (sorry I forgot who) you'd
use WWW. 


I hope that you feel better now, Dean.  It seems that you got this out
of your "craw".
