   I started back in the BBS days of dial-up, PRE-AOL, and a newsreader called   
   "OLX" (I think) that could attach a different quote / "tagline" to every   
   message.  Some of them were hilarious! :-)   
      
   Either way, it helped me learn how to "reply in-line" (such as is being done   
   in this reply).   
      
   Later, "Outlook Express" served as a "news reader" but *most* news servers   
   were pay to play.  There were (are?) very few "free" news servers anymore.  (I   
   haven't looked in years.)  Google Groups seems to have *absorbed* USENET to a   
   major degree.

   That tells it all right there, although again, how anything gets "attached" in   
   this group *is* curious...!

   Is that how my name appears in the group?  I used that LONG ago in the AOL   
   era, but not for *ages* since AOL sorta "went away."  It *used* to be my   
   listing in the phone book :-)

   Well, for whatever this may be worth, #WalkAway from the Left (the DNC,   
   green-new-deal, global-warming mindset.)  RUN away, if possible!  The time is   
   coming (and for the most part is already here) where conservatives will start   
   to be viewed as "open    
   season" by the criminal left who will criminally use guns, even in the most   
   anti-2nd Amendment areas of the country (anti-gun locations in the world.)
