That's a good response - we all make mistakes when we don't know the "rules". It is polite to apologise and you *will* be respected for this. Don't carry on blubbing about it (a la posting of 2/9/02, following your apology of 1/9/02) - put it behind you. Thank God you're not posting to a *nix newsgroup - they have very long memories :) Your input into the group is of value. Go here http://www.dtcc.edu/cs/rfc1855.html - this is an "RFC" which is a kind of inter"net"ional agreement for behaviour online. Many newsgroups do have a FAQ detailing expectations, scope of content, etc for the newsgroup - do we? I for one have not read it (yet), please advise. [Just for your information, my ISP itself (Blue Yonder) has recently had a UDP (Usenet Death Policy) imposed, due most likely to user-end abuse, preventing *any* postings to their normal usenet service. They had to setup a text only service, which is how I am able to send to alt.autos.saab.] On the Saab topic, just in case I'm inappropriately posting :), posting a URL to a personal webpage is the most appropriate method of announcing your Saab pictures on non-binary newsgroups. Free webspace can be gained almost anywhere on the 'net and a service like http://www.dyndns.org can give you a "web hop" with a sensible name. So ... I'll show you mine, if you show me yours :) http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html Regards, Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
