A title problem, but I want to buy. How handle?

You have any idea how hard it can be to clear up some of these problems? You
can't 'buy' something that doesn't belong to the person selling it to you.

I located a plane I'd like to buy; unfortunately somewhere along the
way the FAA didn't get some paperwork and the current owner didn't get
clear title.
Is there anything I can do to 'buy' the a/c and start working on it,
or do I have to sit on my hands? - Mike

But since FAA registration tells you NOTHING about who owns the plane,
what is your point?

Hard to know what your point is as nobody has any idea who you are
replying to. Three posts in a row from you that make no sense at all.

Gee, on deja.com they are all lined up (the reply box does not provide
the option to quote original". So Juan said..

"You have any idea how hard it can be to clear up some of these

you."

Which makes no sense because there is nothing regarding the FAA
registration that determins ownership.

Newps, you might want to check your news browser. All the replys show
up nicely under the original post to me in a tree layout.

You shouldn't depend on everyone having the same view of the ordering of
postings that you have. Each news *server* is independent and may receive
postings in different order. This fact has nothing to do with the choice of news
*client* software.

Please include a little context (as I have above, for example) so we can see
what you are replying to.

Thanks.

Yes it does. News postings are threaded. Each posting retains a headers
which identifies it's thread and parent posting. Most news reader clients
look at these headers and provide the user the option of organizing the
posts accordingly.

I've only used 4 or 5 different news reader clients over the years, but
they've all provided this feature. I wouldn't consider using one that
didn't, but that's perhaps just personal preference.

Not wanting to start a ****ing context here, but your direct contradiction of my
statement is wrong. Your choice of news client *does* have exactly nothing to do
with the fact that news servers are independent and may receive postings in
different orders.

That's my preference, too. If the posting that is replied to hasn't been seen
yet by my news server, no news client software can show it. I'm not sure whether
that's what happened here, though.

....and I still think this is good advice.

Anyway, this meta-discussion is off topic and I'd like to bring it to a close.

The key word here is "little." g

Wait a minute. R.M.G. actually "over-trimmed" ...a first!

Forget the (gentle) rebuking - give that man a medal instead :-)

They would for me too if I had all the posts displayed. I only display
new posts. Who wants to wade thru all that crap?
