[QUOTE] dashdashspaceENTER.[/QUOTE] It's what I'm doing! I don't understand.
Agent allows for google groups little foibles and strips the sig. Hardly, I doubt very much Tori would accept it from me given our history. I believe the phrase I'm looking for here is 'whatever'.
Let's be perfectly fair about this, no-one's ever had a pop at me and my sig sep, or lack of it since I started using google groups, so why does Tori become a special case for abuse?
I've probably snipped that wrong, that's a later lesson You know I only did that to annoy you. I'll stop now. Bad things might happen.
It's because we use google groups. Some newsreaders don't automagically replace the 'space' that google strips out, some do. Bear's newsreader doesn't and he lets you know about it. He doesn't let me know about it though, which does rankle a bit - I always thought I was window-licking special enough in his eyes to warrant some abuse, I feel cheated. As long as I'm using google a small minority of people will have to live with the fact my sig sep doesn't work, because I sign in to google under a name other than my normal posting name and have to enter "Lozzo" in for those who aren't aware of who "Speedyspic" is. As it's a small minority I'm not too bothered, and to compensate for their inconvenience - such that snipping a couple of line is - I've kept my posting to an absolute minimum. As you're an infrequent poster I wouldn't let it bother you. You only ever post to ukrm, and even then it's only now and then so hardly worth spending money with the Germans for newsgroup access. In this case google is your friend, I'd say carry on as you are.
Your replies came in while I was typing mine out, that's why I didn't see it. Lets be fair again, You've never mentioned the fact that it's the couple of short lines that bugs you, not a simple name below the sig as Darsy and I do.

Even Agent didn't remove the original sig and that's when you know for certain it's a pile of shit. I'm about to go and bang my head against the wall a few times to try and lose the image that I got when I saw Tori's first sig mentioning Bear and wrong 'un at the same time.

Why did you give up on XanaNews[1]? You were giving it a go IIRC. Using a reader that does strip Google sigs would seem to be a good idea seeing as it's such a bug-Bear.

Look why are ANY of you using Google Groups FFS? If you don't want to pay the Germans Loz/Tori use news.motzarella.org its almost as good and it's free. The only excuse for using GG is on a PC which isn't yours or on which you cannot install software. Tori if you are using a windows PC you can use Outlook Express but first install OE-Quotefix http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix which formats everything properly. Despite other opinions it works just fine, I've not changed in 7 years.
You must be doing it wrong. My Agent removes it, just as it does with every other <dashdashreturnr> sep. As someone else pointed out, it's just that bear will insist that the fact that his software doesnt recognise it is the fault of the poster, and that therefore everyone using google grooup or outlook should change, rather than that he should suffer the minor inconvenience of removing the sig manually and just stop fucking whinging about it. That or get a decent newsreader that does it for him. The worst thing is that he wasn't even replying to the message, except to point out the wrong sig sep, so he's made a specific point of hitting reply just to point out that in doing so his software doesn't snip the sig. -- _______ ..'_/_|_\_'.

Well yeees I was kind of summing that whole general situation up under "which isn't yours" Mr smarty pants! Anyway the Cheesy boys provide a nice Port80 connection if you must.....
It's not really a web proxy, they've just set their NNTP server to received and direct traffic over the one port that's unlikely to be blanket blocked by most organisations. Works for me.
