Sorry Sarah , I can't resist . So you think that Daniel losing connection to Internet as the cable of his telephone wasn't at the right place is _that_ an important message of public interest that it should be followed in multiple threads :-) ? If you critisize my post I will also simply think about it and maybe change my evil ways ( and so offend others less maybe ) ;-) Netiquette and common sense are similar things IMHO ; and being critized isn't _that_ bad ( was my first experience in usenet , I learnt to adapt , at least a little , it didn't do permanent harm to me .. ) ; I agree with Severi that a little more of common usenet posting policy might sometimes help CCC a lot . pete
