As you can see, the person who calls himself 'PointedEars' (atrekkefanatic) could not do simple third grade math. He's probably one of 'those people' who can play any song on the piano but cannot tie his own shoelaces. Since the average person sleeps 8 hours a day.. In one day that is one third of a day. So that means in one year, you sleep one third of the year. 3 years equal 3 thirds. Within the last three years...you were asleep an entire year. Now, go learn how to tie your shoe laces.. (i don't want to ask trekkie how many years he's been adleep his whole life, he might burn a fuse) (he'll never play the piano again) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything You Wanted To Know About Cross-Posting But Were Afraid To Ask Sometimes, you'll have an issue you think should be discussed in more than one newsgroup. Rather than posting individual messages in each group, you can post the same message in several groups at once, through a process known as cross-posting. Say you want to start a discussion about the political ramifications of importing rare tropical fish from Brazil. People who read rec.aquaria might have something to say. So might people who read alt.politics.animals and talk.politics.misc. Cross-posting is easy. It also should mean that people on other systems who subscribe to several newsgroups will see your message only once, rather than several times -- news-reading software can cancel out the other copies once a person has read the message. When you get ready to post a message , you'll be asked in which newsgroups. Type the names of the various groups, separated by a comma, but no space, for example: rec.aquaria,alt.politics.animals,talk.politics.misc and hit enter. The message will be posted in the various groups (unless one of the groups is moderated, in which case the message goes to the moderator, who decides whether to make it public). It's considered bad form to post to an excessive number of newsgroups, or inappropriate newsgroups. Probably, you don't really have to post something in 20 different places. And while you may think your particular political issue is vitally important to the fate of the world, chances are the readers of rec.arts.comics will not, or at least not important enough to impose on them. You'll get a lot of nasty e-mail messages demanding you restrict your messages to the "appropriate" newsgroups. -- ___________________ * _-_ \==============_=_/ ____.---'---`---.____ * \_ \ \----._________.----/ * \ \ / / `-_-' * * __,--`.`-'..'-_ /____ || * `--.____,-' ...to boldly go where no man has gone before! Expand your mind, expand your universe, experience new things and ideas, ...with cross-posting. The Starmaker "A posting that is cross-posted (i.e. lists multiple newsgroups on the Newsgroups: header line) to a few appropriate newsgroups is fine..." --from Google Groups "If you do post to multiple newsgroups, don't post to each group separately. Instead, specify all the groups on a single copy of the message. This reduces network overhead and lets people who subscribe to more than one group see the message once instead of having to wade through each copy. -- from Google Groups -- The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable, to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, and challenge the unchallengeable.
