"fundoc" sez:


If you're running out of material I've got a signed first of "2000 More

Insults"
in the basement somewhere. I could let you have it cheap.


Hmmm, I dunno. What kind of shape is the jacket in?


It's got a slight 2" chip in the corner and a tiny 5" tear up the back;
conservatively, I'd have to grade it as superduper fine.

"For its age," of course.



"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that
English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow
words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways
to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."

Jon,

It appears that you are using Microsoft Outlook Express to post messages
to this group. To maximize the chance that someone will be able to read
any "Norwegian" characters in your messages, you need to configure it to
include a Content-Type: header line. Without this header line, each
person's news reader will have to guess as to what coding is being used
in the message and will likely guess wrong.

To do this, bring up the "Options" dialog box (click on the "Options..."
item on the "Tools" pulldown menu). Click the "Send" tab. Click the
"International Settings..." button. This will bering up a second dialog
box. Select a "Default encoding". I would suggest "Western European
(ISO)". Then click the "OK" buttons.

= Eric


Thank you so much.

In article ,
"John Yamamoto-Wilson" wrote (in part):

[It might be good] if the FAQs were
rephrased or added to in such a way that it is totally, transparently,
unambiguously clear, even to people with less than two brain cells to rub
together that, while commercial *postings* are inappropriate, it is
perfectly OK to post on-topic and add a link to any URL (commercial or
otherwise) in one's *signature*.


I like it. It doesn't take much to change the FAQ (Mike?), it seems to
hurt nothing, and it might help to prevent further discussion nonsense.
