I fully understand that replying below the relevant text is the most
appreciate way. That is not what I wish to dispute.
What I really dislike here is the approach you (and others sometimes)
take in conveying this information.
May I shouldn't of watched the God Father yesterday on television, but
later when I was doing a search on Google Groups, and read this thread,
this Mr. McCauley, who otherwise is a helpful person, made it look like
Fred was being threatened by the mob, so to speak.
Telling someone "makes you appear rude and arrogant", seems just way
more than needed to be said. Yes, posting below what you are replying to
is the accepted UseNet (and other medium) manner, but I never saw it
written that it's the *only* way that can be utilized.
The fact that so many miss, that despite what user-agent one uses (yes,
MS had a penchant for starting the cursor at the top in their basic
reader), to many people, posting at the top can be more convenient for
simple replies - it's just when the entire body is quoted beneath it
that really makes it wrong in my eyes.
All I ask is, don't try to imply the *REASON* someone is try to appear a
certain way, just because you see it as that. It doesn't mean *everyone*
does. Especially when it amounts to a general lack of understanding in
the posting department. Many people just aren't used to posting in the
*same way* you are.
Some habits are hard to break, it doesn't mean someone is trying to be
rude. Implying that they are is akin to trying to play "Miss Manners" on
every person you see in the super market; yes, there may be unwritten
rules that people in the know adhere to, but many may not know of them,
or be looking from an entirely different angle.
My apologies for replying to an old thread, but thoughts and opinions
know no barriers :)

That's a relief!

Then simply post a few more forgeries to "even it out".

There was a "contract" out on the OP that he was unaware of.

Knowing that you risk becoming ignored is a _good_ thing.
It allows you to make an informed decision.
You seem to be in favor of leaving the OP in ignorance, to suffer
consequences that he was unaware of?
That's not very nice.

It is not the only way that can be utilized.
It is the only way that is socially acceptable.

Thanks for showing us your light.

Then they need to be educated before it is Too Late.

You would probably need to pass an array or hash by reference, so ref()
should do the job. If by 'vector,' you mean a Bit::Vector object, ref()
will also do.
Arrays and hashes need to be passed to subroutines by reference since
Perl loses the structure of arrays and hashes that are passed directly.

Your article is near gibberish.
"...form a number between 1 and 25...."
This would be the number set two through twenty-four,
inclusively, not one through twenty-five, inclusively,
ignoring fractional numbers; whole numbers only.
"...the second and third characters must form a number
between 1 and 25 (so the third character is optional)...."
No, per your rules the second character is optional OR
the third character is optional. Your second character
must be a number OR your third character must be a number
OR both the second and third characters must be numbers.
In the future, work towards writing articles which are
clear, concise and cohesive; avoid near gibberish.

What do you call this then - it's a direct copy and paste from what my news

John,It is very nice of you! I am moving by
your kindness. However, I tried to look through the material from your below
link, it is still not pdf format, and the pdf book which you refer to is not
real what I want, my hope is that I could get a formal pdf book, just like

Exactly so. HTML messages are sent multi-part/mime. The problem with that is
that not all news readers are multi-part aware - many will simply show the
HTML part as plain text.

The fact that your news reader doesn't show you the HTML code doesn't mean
it isn't there.

Specifying *any* font at all in OE will cause it to produce a multi-part
message, one part of which will be HTML.

Google runs HTTP servers. I don't know of any NNTP/News servers
at Google. They hook up to NNTP/News servers and archive the
content, placing it all into an HTML format. It's not a News server.
The Google that most folks know about is an HTTP server.
They do administer the USENET content on their servers, as seen
by the ads displayed when visiting http://groups.google.com. They
also own the USENET content on their servers. They can delete
it at any time, edit it the way they like and disconnect the servers
as they wish. If that's not ownership... I'll let someone else argue it.
I'm wondering if the OP got everything sorted out. He didn't reply
directly to me that I can see. He seemed sincere enough about his
problems and most all come across naive when they try something
new. If he's in China, I'd like to know what part of China.

I run a mailbox at the top of my driveway. I put stuff in my mailbox and I
allow other people so send mail to that mailbox. I can lock it, I can empty
it, and I can paint it any way I like. I can even remove it as I wish. If
that is not ownership [of the United States Postal Service] ... I'll let
someone else argue it.

Now you do :-).
I guess just about everyone who used Unix text tools (vi, grep, sed,
...) before perl knew about regular expressions.

The probably aren't public, but I have no doubt they exist.

Right. And the most efficient way of "hooking up" is to run a news
server, which exchanges articles with its neighbours using NNTP. Using
NNRP (the subset of NNTP used by user agents) would be horribly
inefficient for the volume of news Google processes.

Top-posting is seen as socially unacceptable on Usenet.
If you understand why, then it is still socially unacceptable.
If you do not understand why, then it is still socially unacceptable.
The point is not whether or not disdain for top-posting is a good idea
or not. The point is *people here do not like it*.
You can try to change the way that everyone has done it for decades,
or you can comply (or not, and be ostracized). Your choice.

Pardon me, but your ignorance is showing.
Usenet was here for *years* before Google was even founded.
Google does not own Usenet in any way. Never has.
