Oh, and please answer my related post as well -

We are still waiting for substantiation - which you "always" provide - that Forte Agent is a broken newsreader that doesn't conform to the standards for a newsreader.

Sandman
What standards? I said non-standard, not "not conforming to standards for a newsreader". Why can't you read?

Tony Cooper
That's interesting. Popinjay says that "non-standard" does not mean "not conforming to standards".

Andreas showcases another illitracy.

He then provides examples of what other newsgroups do

If I were an asshole like you, I'd make fun of you for saying "newsgroups" here, but I won't. You just wrote the wrong word and such things happen.

but - in no way - substantiates that there is a "standard".

Here comes Andreas worst enemy - the dictionary:

standard noun 2 an idea or thing used as a measure, norm, or model in comparative evaluations

What he's shown is that different newsreaders list threads differently,

No, that's the point. Not differently. The same. They list threads the same. Differently means that they do it in different ways, which I have not shown. I have shown that news clients show it the *same* way. The exact opposite of what you just wrote.

not that any of them are held to a standard.

They *are* the standard. The norm or model in comparative evaluation.

He slides past his earlier claim that Agent is "broken".

How so? Not threading posts according to the sequencing provided IN those posts makes it broken to me.

I guess we can add "standards" and "substantiate" to the list of words that Popinjay doesn't understand.

Haha, the irony!

He's as confused here as he was when he stood in a Best Buy and thought it was a branch of B&H Camera.

I see you're still a lying asshole.

There should be a requirement for Popinjay to actually think before he writes. I know that I would want that, and requirements are the result of what someone wants to have happen.

No no, a "requirement is what you want to do", so says Andreas Skitsnack, our resident idiot.
