fantastic from someone going postal - 4 follow-up-to in less than 20 minutes
is more typical of an IBS sufferer than any seriously ill fellow.
i do understand you have little comprehension of the Usenet environment
so all is fine :)

in respect of your reponse I will keep my advice short and pointed, persuaded
to do so by the words you have already read, kind words, IMO:

you can avoid being analyzed in the fashion of the above quote by:

1 (one):--- studying the software you are using and knowing its limitations.

2 (two):--- taking the time to understand how "attribute" & "angle bracket" do work
in Usenet threaded postings.
[one clue is here - http://preview.tinyurl.com/5p3494
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.support.attn-deficit/msg/259fb1e376e0c2ea?dmode=source

3 (three):--- always looking at the _full_headers_ belonging to the post you are
keen to respond to acrimoniously. Your software may not have this function.
Change-out your software.

4 (four):--- use the URLS provided within any post to establish you do indeed have
the _complete_ message comprehended and attributed (in your head).


those four simple little steps will lead you to a far more enjoyable experience of
Usenet than you currently display, and pacify the frantic message of
absolute nescience portrayed - by you.

anything else, YMMV

Interesting to note that for the Group <alt.support.crohns-colitis>
there are installed a great many "top posted" threaded comments.
Persons responding using that lazy method do nobody any favors
as the reading of threads becomes very difficult indeed.
Using the Group for research of information, to help a fellow sufferer,
is then a complete waste of your time, and the original effort by some
to string a conversation coherently (reading).
Quote, trim and generally edit responses to keep the topic
alive and relevant - are all Good Practice.

Dear "Ball of Fire":
Return advice:

1. Go have your burning balls treated by a urologist--they seem to be
driving you crazy.
2. Realize that the biggest insult on a health forum is giving false
information to sick people who need accurate information--try mustering some
indignation over that., and stop acting as a caped crusader on behalf of
this "Janice," who obviously has no clue what she is talking about.
3. Have the guts to admit when you're wrong--you obviously mistook me for
someone else, but don't have the decency or the character to admit your
mistake and ackowledge it.
4. Go see a mental-healthcare professional for you colossal anger-management
problem.
5. As the ancient Greeks used to say about flawed people giving advice to
others, "Physician, heal thyself."

Someone perhaps with a sense of humor? It tells us more than the
moniker "anon" does. There are plenty of anons on the net (not just
usenet). I doubt there are many gray balls of fire.

You obviously didn't read the entirety of his previous post. This guy is a
malicious nutcase, crazily mistaking me for someone else who was jousting
with "Janice" on the celiac group and hurling all manner of wacky
accusations on that false premise. Now here you with a predictably lame
defense of the indefinsible. I noted that you didn't care enough to
intervene when someone was posting misinformation in this thread--only to
pile on to vent your rich store of bile. Time for you to get a life.

No, I didn't see the prior post, or any posts by him...or any of your
responses to him.....I was out of town for several weeks and since
getting home, getting back to work and life, I have only skimmed the
ng every few days as I can find time...but aside from that, my ONLY
purpose in posting was to reference the user name, which I found
clever. It made me smile. Lord knows, with all the misery in the
world and with our medical complications, conditions, a smile now and
then is a good thing.

I find nothing indefensible about choosing a user name...I didn't
reference or defend the substance of any posts.
