I meant comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing. Which is not a POV-Ray
newsgroup (although POV-Ray is on topic within it) and I have no idea why
I used that phrase.

Ken is getting sloppy in his high output volume.
Of course there are references to news.povray.org in dejanews. A quick check will
reveal
that. They were archived during the leak, which was acknowleged and fixed
by the administrators. But it will take years for that section of the archive to
be purged.

Say WHAT ? I thought it was a fair and reasonable warning and
also appended the statement saying I thought Jerry had simply
made a mistake in his reference to the newgroup in question.
It appears I have been vendicated since that is indeed what
heppened.

It is because of that snafu that I took the defensive on the
Pov teams behalf.

Ahh -- you said there should be "no reference" to povray newsgroups....
I did a quick search for text references as follows :
http://www.dejanews.com/dnquery.xp?ST=PS&QRY=text&defaultOp=AND&DBS=1&format=terse&showsort=score&maxhits=25&LNG=ALL&subjects=&groups=povray.*&authors=&fromdate=&todate=
... plenty of matches. It is true there should be no references to recent articles,
but
I still maintain your statement was a bit hasty.
Granted -- you were correct that the original recommendation was a typo. I'm just
being picky because I have too much to do at work and need to get out my frustrations
:).

Just keep saying to yourself "I am not a machine ! I am not a machine !".
