Been around a lot longer than you, Pointed Head. And a lot more
experience than you, also.

Wrong, ARPANET and its successor, the Internet, are transport
mechanisms. Usenet ran over ARPANET in the 70's, and currently runs
over the Internet.

Except in your part of the world, where it seems to be transmitted by
sticks beating on hollow logs.

Or maybe your mommy took away your Internet access...

No, it is YOUR custom to emphasize with bold, italic, or whatever -
things which require HTML. But since HTML is NOT recommended for
Usenet, none of these are recommended.

Instead, limited use of all caps is considered by virtually EVERYONE
ELSE to be emphasis. Only TROLLS like POINTED HEAD complain about such
trivial things.

But then if you couldn't complain about such things, you wouldn't be
able to post without showing even more ignorance.

You are well known to do such in multiple newsgroups.

Thread drift is not the same as thread hijacking.

What the topic says is immaterial. It all has to do with the OP's
original question. Your posts were completely unrelated to the OP's
problem, and you hijacked the thread,.

But once again, you are well known in multiple newsgroups for thread
hijacking and similar actions. You seem to have a very difficult time
staying on topic.
