These are Jen Larson quo...*SLAP*

No links? No proof? Unacceptable.

She and DR may have a lot in common.

See above.

You cannot just type what you want and k00k-klaim it was written by someone else.

You are invalid... as are your faux quotes.

from the 3rd of April we see you start off using message ID links in
your lame sig which will only work reliably for someone using the same
newsreader on the same machine the links were made on.

*sigh* I'm not responsible for *your* stupidity. Article ids are perfectly valid. If you
cannot use them to find a post, that is not *my* fault; you're in the minority.

The next day (4th) you've switched to using wrapped over http google
links.

I asked why did you change if the old way worked and you just bobbed
and weaved, never giving a real answer until one of the inmates from
AUK *tried* to come to your rescue.

You bitched and moaned over the article ids... I changed them so to accomadate your idiocy...
and this is the thanks I get? Pffff...

No, you had to change them because they didn't link to anything on
anyones machine but yours. Unless of course someone has exactly the
same newsreader and reads exactly the same stuff as you.

Highlight, copy, go to Google Groups (waiting in a constantly-open
browser, usually Opera, though Mozilla will also do -- I've been a fan
of Opera for more than five years, though, as I find it easier to
customise), click "Advanced Search", paste into the Message-ID box, hit
"Enter". Simple!

Now try to understand this (yet again) Howling Ratbag, copying &
pasting a message ID into another applications advanced search
function IS NOT A LINK.

I never said it was a *URL* link. You're arguing my usage of the term, which you obviously are
too fucking stupid to comprehend.

You said they were *links*. They didn't link to anything. Hence the
reason you changed them.

So your being critical of him for not providing links is just more
evidence that you are not willing to hold yourself to the same
standards you hold others to. In other words, a hypocrite.

Pardon? I ALWAYS provide article ids/links for the quotes in my sig, tadling. Find just ONE in
which I did not.

The ID's you *used* to post were not links. They did not work as
links.

Here's a post in which you call people who can't be bothered to copy
and paste your non-link ID's into another application 'morons' and
'paraplegics'.

The same amount of steps are required to copy & paste one of Rich's
quotes into Google and verify as copy & pasting one of your old ID's.

So just a few day's after you've fixed your 'links to quotes' problem
you think your now holier than thou?

Hypocrite.

Why do you assume that it's anyone's problem other than yours,if you
are too dumb to use message IDs?

After all,they have been explained TWICE to you.

Ok Cyclops, you seem slightly more reasonable than DR. Please explain
to me how YOU use message IDs to verify a quote?

Note: I'm finished on this subject as far as responding to DR is
concerned. If she want's to claim victory and have the last word, so
be it.
