Just the fact that you've posted this comment a number of times
consecutively, would lead some to doubt the veracity of your statement. At
the very least, it makes you look like you're posting it to garnish some
attention for yourself.

Upscale,

You are correct. Unlike you, who is obviously an experienced "poster"
with some 1630 messages on this group alone, this was the first (and
probably last) attempt to communicate through this type of medium. I
thought I made a mistake on the first post attempt so I sent a second
post w/o realizing the first post had been actually been submitted.

So please accept my apologies for posting two messages, which
unfortunately diverted your attention and lead you to erroneous
conclusions.

As to your analysis that "At the very least, it makes you look like
you're posting it "to garnish some attention for yourself," you are
"at the very least" wrong. I was simply attempting to help a friend
who has co-hosted a home improvement TV show for 12 years by addressing
a growing number of questions from posters in various groups as to why
she left the show with factual representations regarding her departure.

Hmmm...Looks like one needs the thicker skin because guys that are
obviously wrong won't admit it.

First post, you have a friend that knows her:
>>I have a friend who knows Robin. Here's the real scoop.....

Second post, she's your friend:
>I was simply attempting to help a friend who has co-hosted a home
improvement TV show....

Which is it?

I suspect "driver error". Save (think you're saving), make a little change,
"save" again and then discover you've been posting instead of saving.

You don't even have to do that Ed. In this particular thread, look at his
first posting and the one the following day. Same words, but the line
spacing is different. Hiccups might repost, but they don't rearrange line
spacing.

I count five posts on this topic...two more than the OP's. Is this a waste
of bandwidth? Or have the net police arrived on the scene of a "crime?"

My server shows them all in the same thread. Two have time stamps four
minutes apart. Every once is a while I'll see a posting repeated with a
time stamp of a week or two previous. You say four postings, but I only see
three here. I'll try to remember to check on it at work as it is a
different ISP and servers.

Never had a news server hiccup on you did you? Internet communications via
Usenet is far from perfect.

FOR THE RECORD.........I sent this only ONCE!!!!!!

No argument, I've seen that happen, just not over a nine hour period. I
guess there's a first time for anything. Doesn't matter. Max has decided
that I've directly accused him instead what it was, a suggestion of how it
looks, which to me anyway, entailed at least a little doubt. I guess I'm now
a big, mean net cop. Oh, the shame of it. :)

Without some quoted material, some of us have no idea what you're
referring to.

Seeing as how you're experienced enough to search out how many times I've
posted, I have to wonder how you could make a newbie mistake like hitting
the send button without knowing that you might be reposting. One would
further wonder how you accomplished that error by posting three times
including the gap of nine hours between your first message and the second.
Were you too lazy after those nine hours to confirm that your post had
actually arrived? Must have been some type of server delay error. Weird how
that server error is now cleared up so you can argue the point.

If I'd been absolutely sure that you'd done it on purpose, I'd have worded
it so. As it was, I simply stated how it looked Max, which left the question
open to some doubt. Obviously, you want to take it as an unwavering
accusation. That's your prerogative. Seeing your reply, my prerogative now
is to believe that you're either careless or just don't care.

Post here or don't post here, but at the very least, grow a thicker skin or
you won't survive for very long.

Have a good day.

I'm astounded as to how much time and energy has been spent on this
posting. My question is: So what if you are right and so what if that
is what he is doing? Is it REALLY that important?

Sure, it's happened to me, but when it's happened, all the messages have had
the same time stamp. His four postings were all minutes apart and in
similar, but different threads. That's not a hiccup, it's repeated posting.

I just figured he was referring to Upscale.
