OPs English is very good, with no more mistakes than you get in an
average usenet post.

Well, no more mistakes than in your reply.

Making things easy for someone is not conducive
to learning. Setting moderately difficult problems works much better.

Replying with a mixture of error, poor English, and abbreviation
probably works to confuse the carp out of the poor fish.

Incidentally, what does "You can see only new posts, which *you* haven't
read" mean? What if the poor chappie wants to re-read a post - would
you advise him not to "subscibe to usenet newsgroups"?
