Bob, please enlighten me: apparently some/all of my replies have

been showing up multiple places but I can assure everyone that I

do NOT cross-post. If the replies are somewhat similar, I may

have given similar advice elsewhere, but a couple of people have

said I am posting identical text to at least 3 NGs. That's news

to me. Usually, Xnews warns me when I am about to reply to

someone who originally cross-posted, but I've not seen that for

this particular thread, not originally, not the middle, and not

where we are now.

So, if anyone is annoyed at what I've said that you think is

inappropriate or excessively OT, I apologize for that. But, I am

NOT intentionally trying to circumvent conventions established by

MS for these NGs nor am I intentionally inciting to riot. But,

there seems to be at least some evidence that a couple of people

taking issue with me have their own over-sensitivity issues, so

I'm trying to bow out.

Ditto for the meandering FAT32 thread that refuses to die. I want

to leave that one as my questions have been answered, it no

longer has meaning to me, and further comments I might make could

educate me or even a lurker but are going too far afield from the

original intent of the OP. So, I'm trying to disengage there

also.

Again, what I'd really prefer NOT happen is for some silly abuse

reporting war start because those things sweep everybody up, as

every person that gets censured, temporarily suspended, or even

losing their account usually get pretty well pissed-off and

report everybody in sight that may have at all been a reporter of

them. Nobody wins those wars, I hope we can avoid it here.

Now, I think there's been some excellent discussion in this

thread even afield of what would be considered ON-topic. I've

received comments either directly or indirectly that people are

learning from each other, so that sounds like a good thing, even

though we stopped talking literally about SP3 some time ago.

Have a good evening, everyone!
