As a newbie here who risks to provoke the impression to just want
to spread conflict, one who is using a news client with a version
number 0.131, I'd at least *try* to understand what's happening.
But, given your Usenet posting history and your offensive wording
in those other groups, I suspect you are one of the rare trolls
and will soon enter a couple killfiles - without further notice.

You mean the output thereof? Where is the shell script?
> + A bit of honor for engaged folks helping people here?
Oh, dear! I thought they were helping because they like to help.
Are you implying that they need to be patted in the back - a good-boy
kind of thing? Are they really that pathetic?

That sentence no parse.

So they can see their names in the list? Do people really go for
such kind of stuff?

Well, no argument there. Not that they are tremendously
interesting though.

Meaning that you couldn't really come up with any compelling
reasons.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, I see. 0.131 version must mean that I am used an old,
obsolete, underveloped news reader. Well, let me introduce you to the
world of Open Source software, where excelent software packages remain at
subzero release numbers for a long, long time. Do a Google search for Pan
0.131 and learn a bit.

I am glad that you read my postings in other groups. You should
pay more attention to them, so you can notice that any offensive wording
is always directed to previously offensive posters.
> I suspect you are one of the rare trolls
Rare? Trolls are rare? Really? In any case, your suspicion is
incorrect.

That's fair enough. At the very least, I will have helped you to
learn something new.
