So you keep saying

Since I am correct.

I did. here:

An email address link? Teeheeheheee! :)

Alan Baker
No, you twit: a message ID.

If you had decent newsreading software, then clicking that would open this message:

Flint
Wrong, Ailin Bellyacher . An embedded "@" makes it a broken email link, moron. Just because you fangurlz expect the rest of the world's usenet newsreader software to follow some non-standard MT-Newswatcher convention for creating broken links, don't assume such links are proper.

Alan Baker
No. You are quite incorrect.

Here is the appropriate excerpt from the headers of your post to which I am replying:

"References: <kh8gi8$din$1@dont-email.me> <mr-B6D567.08194207032013@News.Individual.NET> <kh9r5j$rp0$3@dont-email.me> <mr-BD956A.12274007032013@News.Individual.NET> <kh9u02$aai$2@dont-email.me> <mr-39C8A0.13175107032013@News.Individual.NET> <kha2le$3dp$1@dont-email.me> <mr-AFC7D3.14072707032013@News.Individual.NET> <khc5s3$r36$1@dont-email.me> <mr-145AB9.10132008032013@News.Individual.NET> <kheal2$mui$1@dont-email.me> <mr-AA5B1D.09081111032013@News.Individual.NET> <khkn1d$ogg$1@dont-email.me> <mr-45274C.15345511032013@News.Individual.NET> <khl4r1$eh3$1@dont-email.me> <mr-AA51C0.10344212032013@News.Individual.NET> <khn3rd$ond$1@dont-email.me> <mr-1B13A4.13021412032013@News.Individual.NET> <khna69$s8o$1@dont-email.me> <mr-1D660B.14385712032013@News.Individual.NET> <khnlvr$4pc$1@dont-email.me> <mr-B03FFE.18101112032013@News.Individual.NET> <khnsdq$d37$1@dont-email.me> <alangbaker-43AE3A.11461312032013@news.shawcable.net>"

Do you notice that the message-IDs it lists ALL have "@"s in them?

Do you see that in this header:

"Message-ID: <kho9fj$31k$1@dont-email.me>"

Do you see that your message-ID for your post has an "@".

Now, just to really shut you up, here's the link to the "Original Version" from Google Groups:

<https://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.advocacy/msg/322cf386b1c77d 94?dmode=source>

And if you look at it, it has exactly the same message-IDs, each with exactly the same "@" sign.

Flint
Besides, you miss the point. He never provided a cite as requested until *I* provided one he couldn't refute, and even then he provided an irrelevant cite.

BTW, did you hear the latest? Judge Koh proved you to be full of shit.

Well?

Well what? You need to have it explained to you that I ignored your sorry attempt at deflection.

Alan Baker
The classy thing to do at this point would be to admit you're wrong...

Flint
The smart thing for you to do is explain just on what basis you claim the software I use is broken because it doesn't handle his/your bogus formed message-ID links. Got news for you, other newsreaders I've tried with the link simply throws up an email reply edit window as well. I suppose they're all broken too, huh?

You're just in full ignore mode now.

Fact: there is nothing "bogus" about the message-IDs with "@"s, "Flint".

You're ignoring that YOUR OWN MESSAGE on GOOGLE GROUPS has just such a symbol.

"Message-ID is a unique identifier for a digital message, most commonly a globally unique identifier used in email and Usenet newsgroups.[1] Message-IDs are required to have a specific format which is a subset of an email address[2] (though Microsoft Outlook is known to generate invalid IDs with three parts[3]) and to be globally unique. That is, no two different messages must ever have the same Message-ID. A common technique used by many message systems is to use a time and date stamp along with the local host's domain name, e.g., 950124.162336@example.com.[4]"

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message-ID>

Now go on and ignore that too!
