"A Lieberman" wrote Clearly not me Jim, Please check again. Those come under a thread I was involved in. Allen +++++++++++++++++++++ Sorry for the confusion. My goal was not to say *you* had been off topic, by posting the selection I used. It was rather to show, in a small way, that the group as a whole, is frequently very far from being on topic. More clear now? If not, "never mind". :-) -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Google is one's best friend when you are on the up and up. Allen So what's your point? Are you saying I am not on the up and up? I resent that, big time. All I was trying to do, was site one example to refute YOUR claim that this group stays on topic. I never said you were the poster that was off topic. You really should do some work on reading for content. -- Jim in NC --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).

Allen,
I know that because I am asking for $5.00 per database update but not charging for the software, certain individuals who frequent this newsgroup believe that I am *gasp*, a spammer. I think that those individuals have an over-inflated sense of self-importance, and don't undersand the egalitarian nature of the internet or newsgroups. I fully expect a number of flames in response to this post, so have donned my Nomex undergarments. You obviously don't have an understanding of the egalitarion (whatever egalitarian means) nature of newsgroups. Newsgroups for the most part are commercial free unless the newsgroup charter permits it. By default it is not permitted. First off, learn to spell before you attempt to correct someone else. It is spelled "egalitarian" not "egalitarion". Look it up in the dictionary. I take it english is not your first language. Really Dean, I am a nice person. I come to newsgroups to share and learn experiences. I don't come here for commercials, advertisements and the such. Funny how a supposedly nice person comes across as a second rate jerk. You are the second biggest jerk I have encountered on usenet. You'll have to try a little harder to take first place. There, I told you what I think without the use of profanity... See how much fun usenet is? Dean |

Since he spelled it correctly in his parenthetical statement, it's as likely that the original misspelling was simply a typo, rather than out of ignorance. After all, he was just copying the word from your previous post anyway. Funny how a supposedly nice person comes across as a second rate jerk. You are the second biggest jerk I have encountered on usenet. Really? You must have just arrived. Don't worry, it'll get worse. A LOT worse. I can understand your defensiveness, given the heat some folks have given you for a variety of things. But truly, Allen's post was a quite gentle, mild reminder to you regarding proper Usenet etiquette. He provided relevant links for your edification, and said nothing offensive to you at all. Calling him a jerk (any kind of jerk) reveals WAY more about your nature than his. Pete |

You don't know the first thing about my nature, but feel free to presume what you will... that's par of usenet. Dean "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ... "Dean Wilkinson" wrote in message m...

Pete,
One more thing... I wasn't calling him a jerk because of this one particular email that I was replying to, I was calling him a jerk for other postings that he put out a couple of weeks ago in a lame attempt to engage me in a flame war. Being defensive? Naw, just having a good time poking someone with a stick to see what they do next, i.e. trolling. You have to admit that usenet can be a riot sometimes. The type of people who sit on high horses preaching about newsgroup etiquette and propriety are often hypocrites anyway. Take Larry Digherra for example. I believe that I am offering an honest benefit to pilots with my new software offering and thought that it was appropriate to announce it to this group. If you want to split hairs and say that it isn't free because I won't give you free database updates, well so be it. I sure as hell am not going to work for free for the likes of A Lieberman by giving him free database updates for life. Some people agreed that it was OK, and some did not. I will point out that I have refrained from starting any threads about my commercial software in this newsgroup, as that would clearly be spamming the group. Dean "Peter Duniho" wrote in message ...
