So far, you have shown us:
1. You have a bad attitude
2. You are stupid
3. You dont take critisism well and respond by being an XXX.
4.. You have the personal arrogance of a middle eastern Rhaj.
The various posters quite nicely covered the Historical and current
weaknesses in Outleak Exploder. Weaknesses still being found and
exploited by the script kiddies. One should note that the vast
majority of internet viruses are targeted AT OE.
One should also note that those who spend significant time on Usenet,
typically use Agent if they use a MS OS, both because of its ease of
use, its relative security and its versitility. Its generally the AOL
type, or the occasional poster who hasnt invested the meager amount of
time to investigate the various newsreaders to see which best fits
their mode of operation. It was you that made the blanket statement
that Agent was Junk, was it not? With no citations why, other than you
found it unfriendly. Which addresses #2 above btw. Oddly enough..I
and most Agent users find it particularly friendly. We also tend to
use a seperate email program. Few combination programs do both email
and usenet well, without becoming particularly bulky and cumbersome,
and prone to secuity issues. I use Eudora for email. Shrug. Ive used
most of the others.
Btw..this is my 10 yr anniversary of being on the internet. And
no..Ive never been an AOL member. For the obvious reasons.
Now my participation visa vis you in this thread is finished. If I
wish to argue with a fuckwit, Ill do so with one I find more
interesting.

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

for torturing the cat." Gunner
