Those who have posted here in the past in French, Italian, Spanish or German have been referred to a more appropriate newsgroup in their language. In several cases some of us have tried to help after using AltaVista to translate or know a smattering or better of the language involved. In this case I feel that those trying to assist have gone out of their way to try and help and that despite comments asking her to use English and to use sentences and punctuation nellie has stubbornly refused to do so and even worse has repeatedly criticised those trying to help. Ungrateful as a description of her attitude is one word that comes to mind although I can think of others. Sadly despite there being well over 90,000 newsgroups on Usenet, the majority being text only such as this, none that I know of are for those who have an inability to post in a recognised language but instead use a childish and mostly and often meaningless sort of shorthand (Textspeak perhaps?). -- Mike Maltby mike.maltby@gmail.com

This is (at least) the third time I've attempted to assist nellie with one problem or another in this NG (both in 'real words' and attempted 'textspeak') and I've had no real feedback as to whether my suggestions have been successful or otherwise. Instead, I've either had a 'smart arse' complaint or no replies at all. No more, nellie - as far as I'm concerned, you're out!

Whilst I have chosen to sit out these posts and just be an observer I feel that you have gone out of your way to try and help but have received in return neither thanks or feedback but instead criticism. Mike, who is dearly hoping that Cable & Wireless, who are now on their 13th or greater strike, will manage to get my phone working again tonight. On past progress I have difficulty in rating their changes at more than 10%. Even worse is the bill I have received for redirecting incoming calls (that they cannot deliver) to my mobile. They say that they will reimburse me but that means I have to stay with them until the problem is fixed.

If you were, you would respond in kind to the people trying to help you in any way they can, yet you totally ignore all their efforts on your behalf.

Oddly, the most lucid "Nellie" posts are the recent 'sporgeries'; which, of course, were likely not actually posted by "Nellie".

Yes Norman, I was beginning to smell a bad odour, hence my description of 'its' complaint.
