First I posted answering his initial post how I would use Previous on my
choice of sorting.

Then I posted answering his 2nd post and I disagreed with his request
for email response [in addition to news] and called it rude, which is
what y'all are disagreeing with. I accept the disagreements, but I
still disagree with his request for mail too.

I wouldn't have made such a mail request as he did, but instead if I
were going to access news with OE at his work where he can't access
because Cox doesn't allow foreign access to their newsserver, then I
would use an alternate newsserver, which he will have to do anyway. If
he's going to be using OE there for news, he's going to have to find a
newsserver, he isn't going to be able to have people email him responses
to new posts. Besides, he uses a munged addy without instructions for
demungeing - altho' the mungeing is pretty obvious, so that issue is
trivial.

/Flame/ is me saying I found it rude to ask for the email? You folks
didn't find it rude, perhaps because you know him. So we disagree on
that point. I wouldn't call it me flaming him.

Then there's something wrong with the way your newsreader threads.
Perhaps you should look into that and figure out how to get items
threaded properly. Maybe you should sort some other way or something,
especially since OE is a notoriously poor threader - as I previous
explained at the beginning of this thread.

> So XS11E probably also saw your flame first.

If that is so, then there's something wrong with his threader too.

I still disagree with the request for email. I understand, accept, that
several people responding here don't find it rude. Maybe I should use
some other term than 'rude' for my disagreement with the request. I
understand that the request is different from a request to be emailed
instead of coming back to the ng, but I still disagree with his making
the request. I'm entitled to my opinion about that, as are you.

If saying a request for an email is rude is flaming, this must be a
delicate group.
