False. All the bandwith used by me in this newsgroup is from Road Runner- Columbia,SC . You just happen to be using the secnews.netscape to access this group, but you can access through 100's of newsgroup servers, even google. If you would learn to read headers, you would figure this out. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=netscape.public.mozilla.general If secnews.netscape stopped carrying this group, only those who read it through secnews.netscape would be affected while everyone else would continue to receive this group. If you read the headers from me, you will not see any reference to a netscape *news server* at all. Jay this is about the fourth for fifth dishonest statement you have made. I am frankly getting sick and tired of it and it's people like you that ensure Netscape/Mozilla will continue to fail by giving out false information. You know nothing about how usenet works. Stick to something you know a little bit about, like Mozilla. > > I suggest you read up on how news server software works.

Yup and if the sys newsadmin of secure news server stopped the group, it will would still be carried by 100's of others newsservers. To say the bandwith from this group is from Netscape is totally false unless you are accessing only from the Secure News Server from Netscape. > > Please Kyle, get your facts in order.

Your statement that Netscape supplies all the bandwith for this group is totally false. Ask any newsgroup admin this. Just like your dishonest statement to that user who wanted to know how to respond on the top of a reply and your answer was not to show them how but dictate they should never do it. It's an option on Netscape. It is your job if you are claiming to help people to answer the question, not imply your will on people. It seems you agenda goes much further than that. -- Kyle
