I get comp.sco.unix groups as email, and do not use a newsreader any
more. I'm quite sure I read your prior messages, since I read every
other message of the sco newsgroups; but I do not necessarily *save*
every single one in my mailbox, and I certainly do not memorize them.

I have no idea what you're using to interact with Usenet news, nor do I
care: you're totally entitled to use what suits you. OTOH, you cannot
expect anything special from me either, so if you post without context,
your message will very likely be puzzling to me. Provide context.

I repeat: I surely read all of the messages of your thread, but as they
were not within a few hours one of the other, I don't recall the earlier
ones.

Tony was not rude. He and I were simply telling you that we were
incapable of providing technical, on-point answers to your last message
because in and of itself, that message was opaque to us.
