Your sig annoys no more than any other. I would not want your to
remove it on my accont. I only used it as an example.
I might suggest a bit of variety to as I am starting.
There was an unfortunate confrontation. Both have withdraen. No
winner, no loser. Everything is as though it had not happened. My
memory isn't that long anyway.
Humility is the path to learning.

Please, such comments are condescending. Do not! That is my ego
and your loss.
But yes, the flame war is over I hope. No one wanted it. It just
happened.

It is over for me. But I am an arrogant asshole so the future
can not be promised.
Now POV, I as learning as everyone else, there are no rules or
protocls. No prolbem in the least.
But let us leave internet protocols out of POV on all sides. IT
is a seprate matter and there are better newsgroups for it.

Ken,
I have always found your sense of humour really amusing though
sometimes a bit twisted and finger-freezing :) Hence, I am 100% sure
you are just kidding at the end of this post. Still, I'll take a bite
at that bait, thank you :)
<takes the bait>
When I was looking for a decent newsreader [I was using Outlook
Express back then :( ], I grepped all lines starting with "X-Mailer"
out of the Outlook data files and sorted them, then removed the
duplicates. I came up with a list of newsreaders that I hadn't heard
about, like uka_ppp, crosspoint, knews, MT-NewsWatcher, News Xpress,
NoticiasUPU, TIN, Turnpike, WinVN etc. I then asked about those here
in the ng. You seemed to be following the thread judging from your
short yet informative answer (<quote Ken> Netscape </quote Ken>). So
you've heard about TIN after all :)
BTW I am ready to bet my disability pension that there are less than a
dozen people in Bulgaria that have heard of POV-Ray, less than half a
dozen that have seen it, and less than one third of a dozen that
actually use it, and heck I'm gonna win that bet! That doesn't mean
POV is
<gulp!>
<gathers courage>
not a great program
<gulp!>
<hides in a corner>
does it? :)
<spits bait, ha!>

don't feel a particular need for my newsreader to decode vcards. I can read
it with Netscape if I choose, but I don't.
Vcards are harmless clutter. No more offensive than a sig but flashier so
it is harder to ignore. I prefer text.
I have no intention of demanding that anyone stop using vcards but I would
hope that they consider doing so.

I was kidding in my own twisted way of course.

Only quite recently or I had totally forgotten about it. I seem to
recall your quest for a new news program stemmed from eternal problems
with the computer you were using at the time. Netscape was crashing on
a continual basis and windows was even unstable to the point where you
could hardly operate on it anymore. At that time your quest for a stable
platform and news reader really began as I recall.
I remember this well because I was having similar problems as you and
could not for the life of me figure out what the problem was. It turned
out in my case to have been an overheating problem of my CPU. Once I
got that cooled down Windows quit crashing all the time as did Pov and
Netscape. It took me nearly 5 months to figure that out and I had to
reinstall windows and netscape several times because of system errors
caused by the overheating CPU. I never realized how unstabel a computer
could become when the /CPU overheated. Nothing was safe when it was and
any operation system or software was at risk because of it.
Serious frustration was endured during that time period but now all is
sunny and unruffled with me. In fact my current session of windows has
been running for nearly 550 hrs. now and shows no sign of stopping
unless I choose to end it myself.

My objection to the vcards is that vcards costs me 0.0006 cents for connect
time for each message you send, plus another 0.0005 cents for the disk space
that the card takes up. I may need to file a lawsuit to recover the costs
of all these vcards :-)
