Excuse me - a purist when it comes to newsgroup subjects.

Is it me or do these WIN95 A TRUE OS? threads belong somewhere else?

Now I know most of you other .strategics have tried to conclude this 
perpetual follow-upping (by adding win95 et al to your killfile) but my 
newsreader, provided by MY :) university, does not have this killfile 
feature.  Flame me if I'm wrong, but not by email.  Send flames to 
comp.os.msdos.programmer or so. ;->

And for any of you WIN95-a-TRUE-OS?-Help-a-newbie writers, kindly mind where 
you send your follow-ups and posts.  They REALLY clutter up _*EVERY*_ 
(quadruple capslock) newsgroup, including some like comp.os.msdos.programmer.

And for any of you (am I repeating myself?) .strategics, maybe we should be 
just as bad as they are and start talking about CIV, MOO, MOM on THEIR 
groups... I mean this group is getting quite full anyway; 800 articles pile 
up during the weekend for me to read.

not a sig:   The above paragraph is definitely an implied threat; however, 
if you are a lawyer or a internet-cop or wish to prosecute me for whatever 
reason, the above paragraph somewhat unconventionally DOES represent the 
company I work for, its owner, and my directly responsible employer, all 
these parties as at the writing of this post.

BTW I have no employer at this moment - hahahaha.
