Nothing, really.


Sweet Pea, I've been on Usenet for over a decade.

Ignoring sophistic, apoplectic, Tourette's prison bitches like you isn't
even an effort anymore.

Then there's no onus no me to believe you.

I've said nothing to indicate that.

Quite to the contrary, I was interested in your point, and requested
clarification.

Particularly, I find it incredulous that your country has that little
secondary highway, and I wanted to see how it was defined.

Then -you- began stomping your feet like a petulent 10 year old.

Seems to be SOP in your newsgroup.

Methinks thou doth protest too much.

Besides, I said or implied no such thing.

>in a newsgroup read by people who use that language every day.

And you talk about -other- people's courtesy?

Post in English, cite in English.

Lesson -0 of Usenet.

And in a decade, you've learned nothing.

You didn't shoot it down. You accepted it.

If I say "X does Y" and you reply "So does Z", you accept my premise.

So now you're accepting his statement and ignoring the fact that it
confirms that they are enforcing something that isn't enforced here.

"in recent years".

You're welcome.

The fact that they are making a change doesn't make that go away.
