Is this the end of Discovery Wings Channel ??

Not really, Fox is actually about glorifying and glamorizing pigheadedness,
idiocy and demagoguery. Close, but not quite.

It's always been the Military Channel. At least now the name is accurate.
"The Military Channel, Glorifying and Glamorizing Colonialism and Mass
Murder". Sounds like Fox "News" doesn't it?

I hadn't noticed you were an aspiring comedian. Take my advice, keep your
day job. chuckle

Matt,

Please don't take the bait. Anyone who writes a comment like that is
obviously starving for attention, and the best way to deal with it is to
ignore it.

That was just too juicy to ignore. And if you want to play ng
moderator, at least post at the bottom like the internet pros.

Matt

Exactly what qualifies someone as an internet pro, and according to what
standard is posting at the bottom preferred on the internet? Assuming it is
even preferred on usenet.

PS I am not bing a moderator, just commenting like everyone else. Sorry if
my comment took an authoritative tone.

"Pro" is slang for "prophylactic" and means someone who Googles up "top
posting vs. bottom posting on r.a.h." and then goes ahead and posts any way
he wants to - 'cuz no matter which way he chooses, somebody's going to call
him a "p***k". )

So, interesting discussions on the web about top posting vs. the bottom.

Though there seem to be some people using readers that don't like top posts,
and likely more pro-bottom than pro-top people, I didn't find anyone
claiming to be from usenet or any standards body with an answer. That
doesn't mean there isn't, just that my patience is limited on how much
googling I will do.

In fact, the best reason to bottom post, or even snip and post is to keep
the conversation going. It would seem to me that if you were not looking
for a response or conversation that top posting would make a statement to
that effect. If one were trying to enforce a code on this, the only
effective way would seem to be to not respond to top posts.

Also, before I get accused of "trolling", I was not trying to actually get
an answer on the internet pro thing, I was being a smart a**. There is no
such thing as an internet pro.

There is no standard. Just preferences.

I use Google local, but due to it using IE, I try to avoid using it on
the net.

The last time I used it on the net I found one of those sites that had
been infected and was just waiting for IE to come along. Only my
firewall saved a lot of work.
