Classic unsubstantiated claim.

Loud Hyena laugh! You have consistently failed to substantiate your claim that there is some official standard that Agent does not comply with. Maybe five times now.

Sandman
Produce a quote of me claiming there is an "official standard", Eric.

Eric Stevens
Down to quibbling over words are you now?

Maybe English is too complicated for you.

Sandman
You said I failed to substantiate a claim I never made.

Eric Stevens
OK, so you don't claim there is an official standard.

Sandman
Not for displaying articles in a UI, no.

Eric Stevens
Presumably, then, there isn't one.

Sandman
Nope. But there *is* a standard. Just not "official", since pretty much nothing is "official" (no one "owns" usenet).

Eric Stevens
So now you have fallen back to not following the crowd.

But so what?

Let me assist you in the translation. There is a standard, but it exists only in the mind of Popinjay. The standard that exists in his mind has the requirement of being whatever he wants it to require, which is like all requirements.
