'Take the chip off your shoulder and read carefully; you may learn something' Who the hell do you think you are, and you've got the cheek to call arrogant. I am pretty new to news groups (obviously) thats why I asked in the first place!! So, you're so arrogant that you are aware of, but disregard the rules > anyway? Wow. I asked to FIND OUT THE RULES not to be preached at by you. Which is another example of your unbeleivable arrogance. If posting one small jpeg on a newsgroups (where it appears I perhaps should not have done) has bothered you so much you need to get a life. Take your head out of your arse. A simple,.....mate, its not good newsgroup etiquette to post pictures on newsgroups without the binaries heading would have completely sufficed!! Apart from anything else you are taking up data space with your massive, abusive essay rather than chatting about the cars the rest of us love!!! Apologies to the rest of the saabies out there with another of subject post but this prat Dave 'Arent I the clever one' Hinz has p***ed me off.
