You are posting through Google Groups despite all the initials you want
to proliferate in your reply. You are a Verizon customer so use their
news.verizon.net and use a real NNTP (network news protocol protocol)
client: Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Forte Agent, Xnews, SuperGravity,
40tude Dialog, or whatever floats your boat. Google Groups sucks since
they are a Usenet archiving service with a really crappy
webnews-for-dummies interface. "I use the independent
browser called RSS Reader". Yeah, we know you're using a browser
because you are posting through Google Groups.

Even if you know how to use well Google Groups, like Reply to Author
rather than just Reply (to group) to thread the messages, which you seem
to handle okay, realize that you are a Google Grouper and many
Usenetters are bigotted against them. Many users filter out Google
Groupers (so your audience will be reduced). Those that regularly
inhabit Usenet do not use Google Groups.
