Re: Quick Java Question
There are no moderators in this group, nor most of microsoft.public groups.
Most of what appears at Google Groups does not originate at Google Groups.
Everything that appears here on these servers, appears at Google Groups.
Windows groups always benefit by the release of the next version, which
causes most trolls to move to the new group and wreak their havoc. I know
that's not what you meant be getting answers from people who have no
business answering your post, and I am constantly telling clients that they
may need to WAIT!! for a few hours, days, or even weeks before they get the
answer they're looking for.
You are still using a web-interface for posting questions. You might try
using a real newsreader (Outlook Express, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, and
many, many more.) To get you started, click here:
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
The location from which you are posting only carries MS groups and you need
non-MS groups for your further adventures in Java. Check with your ISP's
support pages for the proper settings, and that real newsreader will come in
even more handy.
