Hi Geoff,

Your posting address does not appear to be valid, so this warning is 
being posted here.


You're getting this message because I've noticed that you've been 
posting a lot of off-topic messages lately. I want to make sure that 
you're aware that the mozilla.support.* newsgroups are subject to the 
Mozilla Forum Etiquette rules 
. "Stay on topic" is 
one of those basic rules. As a matter of fact, off-topic posts are 
eligible for removal from the news server. See 
. Your messages 
aren't being removed. I just want to let you know about the forum rules.


If it would help you to see which posts I considered off-topic, please 
just e-mail me back.


It's important to remember that the reason people subscribe to the 
Mozilla Support newsgroups or mailing lists is for user support; and if 
they have to read through many messages that are of no help in their use 
of the product, they're not getting what they subscribed for.


If you do want to post an off-topic message, there a few things you can do:
* You can reply to the poster via private email
* You can suggest taking the discussion to a place where the discussion 
would not be off-topic.
* You can force replies to be sent to the mozilla.general, where 
off-topic discussion is allowed. To do that, just set the Followup-To 
header on your post. [Demonstration video: 
]


If you'd like to reply to this message, please email me with a valid 
return address, thanks. Replies to this message posted in the newsgroup 
will be removed.

Americans have an (arguably undeserved) reputation for being
only vaguely aware of anything that takes place out of their
home state, and completely unaware of anything that exists
outside of the USA.  We Britons are not entirely dissimilar,
in that few of us have any idea what characterises most of
your states (Alaska apart),


That's interesting!  Why, pray tell, a British knowlege of Alaska, in
particular?

Yes, it is interestingly unique but, still, so is Texas in its way.

Americans have an (arguably undeserved) reputation for being
only vaguely aware of anything that takes place out of their
home state, and completely unaware of anything that exists
outside of the USA.  We Britons are not entirely dissimilar,
in that few of us have any idea what characterises most of
your states (Alaska apart), and even less idea of what sort
of freak weather conditions might be expected to occur in any
of them ...
