I apologise but are you Merkin?

Good luck with this request. Once this thread dies, I suspect you won't
have to put up with some of the top-posters currently present, as they'll
return to top-posting in the alt.autos.bmw group. ::sigh::

Yes, dear, BUT, if I wish to reply to you I have to leave in all NG
addresses as I don't know where you lurk. Can you cope with that concept?

BTW, I appreciate your praise, which says a lot about you and the
conclusions to which you jump.

I think you're right, Dave. How did we get cross-posted there?

Err..., what's your point? Somebody was suggesting that I should cease
cross-posting. Can you advise how I should do that if I wish to make sure
my reply goes to the right person?

My dear old and primitive OE newsreader does not disclose the originating NG
of any poster.

At the risk of boring everyone here, to take you as an example, how am I
supposed to know whether you are originally posting from alt.autos.bmw,
uk.rec.cars.misc or uk.misc?

If you think participating in usenet is a black-tie gathering you ought to
get out more.

You take it to email, if you wish to address a particular person.

If their From and ReplyTo are both faked, you may assume they do not
wish to be contacted

I'm sure Mary can, and so can I. But you could still move the cursor
to the bottom of the screen and post properly.

I suppose you're right. Ballgown and stilettos might be more appropriate.
