The above is an outright and provable lie (hence the troll counter).

This was owl's post: <ghj30.5ppihqh@rooftop.invalid>

That was a new thread, no quoted material. It was not a response to an earlier post and as such had nothing "snipped".

Your response: <D28F2200.669CB%usenet@gallopinginsanity.com>

Added quoted material to owl's post that wasn't there and shouldn't be there in the original. You quote-forged the post to show something that poster never intended.

Violation of point 3:

3) Not add or alter the content of quoted materials in any way other than to snip

Snit
Ah, my news reader does not track such.

If this is the case then I was, in deed, in error to assume it was a response to my post. I stand corrected.

Sandman
I hereby invoke point number 5:

5) If someone goofs give them a chance and note where you think they went astray.

You "goofed" and I expect an explicit apology to owl momentarily.

Snit
As have you, as noted.
