Ooh! However, I am sure that in most countries that there are
reputable box builders that need the business of their countrymen, er.
need to be politically correct here, new word... countrypersons.

I have grown use to it and have grown to expect it. I have found that
the average NG user participant to have a reading and comprehension
level compared to that of a opossum. Yes, it is extremely hard to
understand that they can actually put a quote of your entire message
in their reply and then turn around and misquote what you said and
make stuff up of what you actually said. The real scary thing is,
they probably drive, vote and worse of all, breed new generations of
their own. Next to this newest one we have here, one of the worse I
ever came across is one of the microsoft NG MVPs.

Ooh... you're on a role today......

Well...

Doesn't take much to get everyone in an uproar. Pardon me for clicking on
the wrong button. However, my post was meant for the entire string of
messages here, not TR's specifically.

My bad that I didn't realize that some folks that inhabit these NGs don't
have anything better to do than take offense at what someone said. No
wonder America has such a problem with litigation; everyone's ready to take
immediate offense to something someone "said" or "didn't say".

I originally posted a response in order to address a question regarding
emachines. For those of you that don't or can't understand that, go back
and read what I originally posted. If you still don't understand, then
please find something more productive to do with your time. To the rest
that just come here to gripe, get a life!

I've had three gateways. I still have the last gateway I ever bought
which is coming to the end of its 3 year warranty. It's the poor
level of outsourced service rendered under the warranty on that gateway
that led me to making my latest acquisition from a local company. And
yes, the local company did charge me more for what I would have paid
for a component comparable machine from gateway, a whopping big $75
more. Service from someone that speaks one of the two languages I do
is worth the extra $75 to me. And like you said, the guy that will
service that machine probably had a lot to do with building that
machine.

Just to have fun with you ---- Buy Canadian!

Just yanking your chain there TR.

Oh, every now and then, I'll point it out to one of them, but you have
to remember who/what you are dealing with and usually, when you point
out what they did, they try to turn it back around on you and make it
your fault that they are so ignorant. So the best thing to do is just
not communicate with them and leave them to wallow in their own
stupidity. Remember, the intelligent ones that you really wish to
communicate with can see for themselves what they did so you don't
really need to broadcast it any further. It just makes the idiot more
rabid.

>That would "weed" out

No pun intended, right?

I wanted to ask but forgot last time.... Are you a past/present GW box
owner that has/is going to convert one's patronage to a local builder?
As I said in my message, I have never regretted moving from GW to give
support to a local builder. The price of a comparable box has been
very close and the support given by the local vender has overshadowed
that of GW's outsourced support 10 to 1 in my experience. And there's
nothing in the whole world that can compete with a face to face
meeting with support people that actually had a hand in the building
of your computer and not Abdul who was pulled off a bamboo plantation
and given the equivalent of $50/hr Am to read canned messages off a
computer screen. Too bad we can't get local built laptops.

Ah... Neighbor to the North.

BTW, sent you an email before your last message on here and haven't
gotten a reply to it yet. Did you get it?

That's a dead end email address. I haven't even been to it in years.
Actually, I don't remember how to get to it or the password any more.
I'm surprised it's still there and you didn't get a bounce. I had to
supply an email address to get this newsgroup account back when and
wasn't about to use my real one so used this one since I didn't use it
any more. Its probably full of spam and that's just fine because there
should be a nice unused deep well for spam to goto.

If you need to email me something, I can make my real address available
to you.

Not needed... Actually I was emailing you to tell you that you
shouldn't be using your real email address on the NG's. You were
already one step ahead of me.....
