No No , from most of the googling I've done, it seems that it originated around Mesopotamia some 6000 odd years ago, and then later was very common in Europe from around 5000 or so years ago. |

[...] People with LIVES don't have time to bugger around stripping groups out of posts. Just ADD to it and send it on its way. It is NOT your problem to censor UseNet. This time, only two [1] out of three of your sentences were utter ********! So you're improving! Keep up the good work! [1] Well, actually all three, but I'm in a good mood, it being the festive season and all that. |

Thanks.] OK. I'll leave the headers intact just this once. Thanks. .... No, I just don't care to cross-post. I only inhabit rec.travel.usa-canada. No offense, but we (TINW) don't care that you don't care, and we don't care which group(s) you inhabit. Someone posted in some groups and you responded. No offense, but I don't care that you don't care that I don't care. There's nothing that says I have to play by your imaginary rules and cross-post. FWIW, as I said, they are not imaginary and not my rules, but *the* rules, at least for the how to use Newsgroups: and Followup-To: part. I intended my reply for consideration by only those in the usa-canada group. I have no interest in discourse with those discussing travel in the southern hemisphere. That may well be, but, as I said, you addressed a *person* or/and a *topic*. The person probably/possibly only subscribes to australia+nz. The topic was not any more on-topic in usa-canada than it was in australia+nz, and it was not related to "discussing travel in the southern hemisphere", so the second sentence of your above argument doesn't fly. .... N.B. I realize full well and acknowledge that you can do as you damn well please, but that does not mean that we have to take it lying down, does it!? :-) On USEnet? Of course not! Have at it! But first, Frank, as I sit here sipping MacChouffe and nibbling a sensational Boerenkaas, it was nice meeting you. But all good things must come to an end, so -- {threadkill} and {plonk}. Thanks for the *order* of the threadkill/kill, I *think*! :-) |
