I won't argue with you on this one - my ISP's news service only allowed
me to see 10% of the posts at that time. That's why I've switched to
Demon for newsreading.

Aren't we all ?    :-}

Not true - I may insist on *my* right to express my opinions but I
always allow others to disagree - and be wrong of course.    :-}

To paraphrase some famous person or other (galloping senility has struck
again) - "I may disagree with what you say but I would give my life
defending your right to say it" !

And irritating !

I don't think you ever gave us a chance - most of the time we're just
enjoying ourselves. The trouble is that the "topics" are mainly
exhausted now but, even so, no question in AGRA (except for "what are
the cheats?") ever goes unanswered - it's just that there's a fair bit
more "banter" in that group than most others.

If you're interested, I've put together a few of my thoughts regarding
these NGs on my "website" (url below). You'll see why I used quotation
marks if you visit - it's not a great site!
