Fail. That's not what I said at all. You're trolling. I'm simply stating
that I highly dislike the way Eudora stores messages, often preventing
you from obtaining the full message for archival or transfer to another
client. IMHO, Eudora makes this much hard than need be - especially when
compared with more modern clients. You are perfectly free to ignore my
posts if they upset you so much. No need to get your panties bunched up
over Usenet posts.

LOL! I don't have a *crowd*. Your "us versus them" mentality is clouding
your world view.

I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead.
