Well, it would have been obvious to anyone with Usenet experience
who'd been reading the newsgroup for more than about a day.
I'm averaging about 6 posts to the newsgroup per day; I'm past the
4500 posting mark for this newsgroup alone. No-one sustains that
kind of output and -hand- picks a different random signature
for every posting.

:But I say you that if :
:the "free marketplace of ideas" includes the right to express ideas
:The same right is for Jos ...

The free marketplace of ideas does not include the right to demand
that other people listen and respond. People are thus free to
say "I am going to ignore you unless you post in this particular
format." Whether the poster agrees to use that format or not
would depend upon the potential value of the answers that would
be lost by not agreeing.

It happens that the people most likely to be annoyned by multiposting
(posting the same question to several newsgroups) are the "old-timers"
who have been around for a long time and answer a lot of questions.
So it is usually a good idea to avoid multiposting, as it tends to
result in your questions being ignored by the people who are most
likely to know the answer and take the time to write out the answer.

Jos could have ignored my advice, but then I would have ignored Jos...


:second
:the idea is a your idea o a idea of your application ?

I selected the quotation and added it in to the configuration
file, if that is what you mean. I do not, though, select the
particular quotation that gets attached to any one posting.

:Because if it isn't a your idea , as you tell , the only thing to do is
:, to say :
:Exsuse me if my application is stupid ....

I have evidence that the application's random number generator
is biased in practice, but I suspect that is not what you mean by
"the application is stupid".

The appliation -is- stupid in that it does not have any artificial
intelligence to read the posting and select the quotation that would be
most appropriate.

Do I apologize for having selected that quotation as one of the
possibilities? No. I have been using electronic mass communication
systems for more than 20 years, and the quotation aptly summarizes
a lot of what has happened over the years.
