Of course, you took the safest route to argue your point. You posted in
microsoft.public.* newsgroups where a large number of users of OE are
posting and are lazy by using the default posting style of OE,
uneducated regarding the registry hack, and too lazy to review the
config settings in WLM. Go post in a non-microsoft newsgroup to see how
well you far against the much larger non-Microsoft Usenet community in
your shortsighted arguments. Microsoft is not Usenet. In Usenet,
Microsoft has a small presence. If you want to proselytize your faith
and convictions, you don't preach to the choir. Go seek converts
outside the church. Be prepared for many tribulations on your quest.
