Under the name "Default User"? What a
maroon..............................



I'm sorry, but I can't figure out what you mean to say here. Could
you clarify?


Bugs Bunny used to call people he thought were mentally disadvantaged
"maroons".

No, I understood that part.

You qualify for this title in the eyes of the previous
poster because you haven't figured out how to configure your email
package or news reader to give you a better name than "default user."
That is the name supplied by many Linux distributions and news reader
packages. The documentation on both suggest you use a more
meaningful name when communicating with others.

Ah. It was actually the default name on the old Netscape newsreader for
Windoze as well. There's a story about why I didn't change that right
away when I started using it instead of my trn/Solaris set-up that I
won't go into. Eventually, I'd been using it so long that it *was* my
identity, so when I switched to XanaNews (where it's not the default
identity) I deliberately chose that again. I'm not sure why it would
cause any confusion.
