A polite post at last. How refreshing. That would be two off-topic posts I submitted. All the replies to it were also off-topic, so it can't possibly be such a big crime. > > To post test messages, try alt.test.

The reaction has been far worse than my action. This stems from regular posters of a newsgroup developing a sense of entitlement and turf, which is purely imaginary. This is a public place and everyone has the tools to ignore posts and posters. They just wanted to play and mock and got burned. > > BTW why /did/ you choose this newsgroup? > I just needed to save some code and there was no email at hand, I use this because it's a group I am familiar with, alt.test sounds like a better option.
