What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to
do with OS/2, Relf?  Ironically, you just "flooded" three newsgroups
because you insist on having the first word, even though the word
has nothing to do with the newsgroups to which you've posted.

Your own filtering isn't very good at stopping you from posting
off-topic material to newsgroups, Relf.

How will that prevent you from posting off-topic material to
newsgroups, Relf?

Why would anyone want to read your five most recent posts, Relf?
Do any of them have anything to do with the newsgroups to which
you've posted them?

Your history consists of posting off-topic material to newsgroups,
Relf.  You insist on having the first word.  How ironic.

I didn't, Harrison.  It was Relf who lumped you in with
"murphy".  Of course, you would know that by now if you
had better reading comprehension skills.

Irrelevant, given that I didn't make the accusation, Harrison.
Rather, Relf did.  Take it up with him, not me.

1> Rest deleted.

What does your note of deletion have to do with OS/2, Harrison?

Still suffering from reading comprehension problems, Harrison?  The
very
first thing I wrote after the quotation is "What does your classic
unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have to do with OS/2, Relf?"  How
can
you possibly read that and conclude that I had no disagreement with
what
I had quoted, Harrison?

2> Of course not.

Then how could you possibly conclude that I didn't indicate any
disagreement with what I had quoted when I had clearly called it
erroneous, Harrison?  You insist that you don't have a reading
comprehension problem and yet the evidence clearly indicates
otherwise.

2> No, not irrelevant.

What does your classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim have
to do with OS/2, Harrison?

2> Nothing.

Then why are you posting about a deletion in an OS/2 newsgroup,
Harrison?

2> But someone badmouthed me in comp.os.os2.advocacy and so I

Respond to the person who engaged in the badmouthing, Harrison.

Been there, done that, which you would know by now if you had better
reading comprehension skills, Harrison.

2> I'm sure you'll be glad to note that I've set followups out

Unfortunately, you set the distribution of your response in the group,
Harrison.

2> of your group.

Classic erroneous presupposition that it's "my" group.

Still suffering from reading comprehension problems, Harrison?
Is "where Relf posted it" a claim?

Still suffering from reading comprehension problems, Harrison?
Since when does an "erroneous claim" not refer to what he said?

What does the option you didn't choose have to do with OS/2,
Harrison?

Still suffering from reading comprehension problems, Harrison?
I clearly called his claim erroneous. That's what "erroneous claim"
means.

See my response above.

What does your foul language have to do with OS/2, Harrison?

3> I've made no claim fitting that description, Tholen.

Classic unsubstantiated and erroneous claim, given that you
