: Bill Yates is a nationally known dealer in Early American Copper. You show your ignorance by even asking this question. And you are what? His bend over buddy? Lover? Brother in law/ Oh wait, you must be his incest borne brother. What makes you think any one cares of what Bill Yates does.... Your filthy comments prove that you are not in the same league as legitimate sellers. Your refusal to show us your feedback adds to the evidence. You are nothing. |

On the day of Jesus' birth you use that kind of vulgarity. You prove that whatever opionions you have are not worth paying attention to. Please report this jerk to Jesus was not born on Dec. 25 th moron. Or you dont understand the tale of Jesus's birth all that well. Yes, neither is your horse ass born on Jan. 1, but its the day that the faithful celebrate. And Im not even Christian. That's obvious. So dont assume that everyone cares what happens on Dec. 25th you ignorant moron. Some us dont even observe Christmas But decent people respect those who do. And as if RR will do anything. Again, if you can't stand the language, get the **** off of usenet. We will see. I will drop them a note and call it to their attention. With Christian Love, Frank |

Only a racist or bigot would claim that only the faithful celebrate on a certain date. There are other Christian religions that observe other dates. -- McWebber "Richter points to the lack of legal action against his company as proof that he's operating appropriately."

"RipCurl" wrote in message ... "Richard L. Hall" wrote in message ink.net... "McWebber" wrote in message ... "Frank Provasek" wrote in message .com... Top posting is preferred, by the clueless. "Any fool can make a rule. And other fools will heed it." H. D. Thoreau But its been around since usenet was formed, so you have no say if it was made by fools. Since those "fools" were the ones who probably created usenet, they are, in my book, fools to follow. Typical ignorant comment from an ignorant individual. Next you'll want us to believe that the people who invented the automobile are also the ones who laid down the rules of the road. There are inventors and there are people who make rules. I think the latter would fit very nicely into that class of people characterized by Spiro Agnew as "an impudent core of effete snobs." And, anal-retentive people obsessed with rules but usually not knowing why the rule exists or whether it is currently relevant would also fit. Recognize yourself? http://www.dickalba.demon.co.uk/usen.../faq_topp.html And this says, "But if you place all your comments at the top, the reader has to scroll down the page and hunt to see what it is you are replying to. " So you prefer to have to scroll to the bottom everytime rather than the few times that you lose the train of the thread or the train is missing. If you read it carefully, you will also learn to trim and reply to sections of posts as you are doing and I am doing. That's because I'm commenting on specifics of your message. If I were making comments about the message as a whole, I would top post. Top posting is for the lazy who dont give a damn about not replying directly to comments posted to them, and leave all the text of original message that they aren't replying or directing comments to, in hence WASTING bandwidth. Of course, if you read the whole thread everytime, bottom posting is preferred. But I would think that almost no one reads the whole thread everytime. They scroll to the bottom of each message in the thread. Seems a waste of time to me. Seems that you dont understand the nature of usenet. The reason "bottom posting' is preferred is because not all news servers in the world will propogate a thread. That means the context of a thread can be lost and top posting comments can be read without understanding why it the post was posted. And if that's the case, scroll down and you'll pick up the original message. Better to do that only once or twice than to have to do that every time. The start of a thread could be lost due to server issues, or because some news servers check for spammers and dump those articles that are considered spam to them. There are times when top posting is the best way to respond to a question or a thread especially when you're replying to the thread as a whole. Never, unless its email. Usenet is not email. But nothing wastes bandwidth more than complaining about a top-posted message. Any intelligent person usually can follow the train. Nothing wastes bandwidths more are top posting morons who leave the entire text of what they are replying to without referencing what they are replying to. If you plan on top=posting, dont bother to include any of hte original text your are replying to. There is no sense. Another stupid comment. But then again, you're good at that aren't you? Now, read my lips, ready ...You include the original text in the reply in the event the person reading it has lost the train of thought. The same reason you include it in a bottom posted message. Let me modify my original statement. Nothing wastes bandwidth more than complaining about a top-posted message except for individuals who continue to post when they have nothing relevant to add to the group. You seem good at quoting rules. Have you ever read the RCC faq? Especially the part that goes "Only write about subjects that are "on topic" for the group, as defined in the group's charter ... Any area of numismatics is ok in rec.collecting.coins. Articles without numismatic relevance are not. " I see 13 of your posts in this topic and none of them are relevant to numismatics. Interested in the FAQ. Go to the bottom of my sig. It is obvious that you have a double standard. Now if you'd like to talk about coins, let me know. This conversataion is over. By the way richard, Standard sig line are only 4 lines lines in length. You are in violation of Usenet RFC's for having it longer than that. Any fool can make a rule. But this one had some relevance when it was promulgated because both bandwidth and memory were extremely expensive and therefore limited at the time. So saving both was important. But now both are in great abundance and cheap. Unlmited? Maybe not. But many, many, many times more abundant than when the Usenet came to be. And every fool will heed it. -- Richard ANA# R-176949 http://home.netcom.com/~richlh Dating Coins from the reverse: http://home.netcom.com/~richlh/Coins...erse_Dated.htm Minor Errors: http://home.netcom.com/~richlh/Coins/Errors//Errors.htm http://home.netcom.com/~richlh/Coins...s//Errors2.htm Large and Small Date Lincolns: http://home.netcom.com/~richlh/Coins...mall_Dates.htm Viewing the 3's on Lincolns http://home.netcom.com/~richlh/Coins/Comparison3's.htm RCC FAQ: http://www.telesphere.com/ts/coins/faq2.html |

Typical ignorant comment from an ignorant individual. Typical ignorante comment from someone who refuses to follow guidelines established so that usenet could remain a free area of the net to post comments and threads to keep the ideas and thoughts flowing. Rules are established for a reason. If they are made by fools, go about redefining the rules and hope that everyone agrees. If they dotn agree, then the new rules must have been made by a bigger fool. Next you'll want us to believe that the people who invented the automobile are also the ones who laid down the rules of the road. Stupid comment as well. Rules were made and laws made for automobile useage because people became aware of the abuse as well as stupidity of persons who get behind the wheel of car. AGain, rules are made because other fools made them possible. If you find a rule stupid, go about finding a way to redefine rules or make up new ones that everyone will follow. If no one agrees, then the new rules must have been made by a bigger fool. There are inventors and there are people who make rules. No, rules are made by those who know their area of expertise and what is good for the common folk to adhere to. I think the latter would fit very nicely into that class of people characterized by Spiro Agnew as "an impudent core of effete snobs." And, anal-retentive people obsessed with rules but usually not knowing why the rule exists or whether it is currently relevant would also fit. Recognize yourself? recognize that nothing you can do now, will change usenet and the guildelines for posting to usenet have been around a lot longer than most people who've been alive. |
