   Frankly, I wish I knew how to do something like that, and I   
   would do it every time Your Majesty managed to get your system   
   running again, but I don't.   
      
   Your Highness, if you got your head out of your Royal ass long   
   enough to learn how to use a real (free, of course, Your   
   Majesty) newsreader, you would know that when replying to   
   assholes who crosspost, you need to set up a "follow-up". I   
   always set up "follow-up to poster", as do most people.   
      
   It is not my problem Your Highness insists on using Google   
   Groups which apparently thinks "follow up to poster" means   
   "follow up to a group called poster" (or that, more likely, you   
   are simply doing something wrong).   
      
   Now that I understand what (part of) your problem is, I have set   
   follow up to nothing so you shouldn't have any problems with   
   this (last) reply. OTOH, I sincerely wish your monitor explodes   
   in your oh-so-Royal yet oh-so-repellent face, if such a thing   
   were physically possible, which it isn't, since CRT's implode.

   OF COURSE NOT, Your Majesty. YOU dictate how the world runs. May   
   your Royal name forever be blessed.

   Ooooohhhh... I am SO scared. Still, very amusing watching you   
   dig your "Royal-Hole'o'Stupidity" deeper and deeper.

   Your Highness, most ISP's are abandoning their (recently very   
   poor due to explosive growth) Usenet service altogether because   
   it is too expensive to even *try* to maintain them properly let   
   alone keep up. In fact, in some countries there ARE no ISP   
   servers at all.   
      
   And, again:   
      
   >> King of the World, most of the facts you state above are   
   >> incorrect. No Usenet or internet provider in the world can   
   >> eliminate all spam, whether they charge a hundred a month   
   >> or nothing. Get real.   
      
   > You intentionally misunderstand me (as well as insult me).   
      
   How can someone "intentionally misunderstand"? You ARE from   
   another planet, Your Majesty!   
      
   And, so it's ME that's been insulting YOU? I humbly beg your   
   forgiveness, Your Highness. Please point out the offending words   
   and I will personally print them a thousand times on paper made   
   from animal guts and then eat all the sheets. I will present the   
   final results in a glass urn for your Majesty to display in your   
   chambers.

   How do you survive for even an hour outside your castle?

   Gmail is not a Usenet server. Nor is Google Groups.

   Of course, Your Majesty. May I suggest you hop over to some   
   third world country in your private jet, capture some slaves to   
   work for free, and with the money you save, pay for a premium   
   Usenet service? I know 8 dollars a month is a LOT of money, but   
   with enough slaves, you should be able to manage.

   You are VERY confused and very wrong, Your Highness.

   Your Majesty, when the coup happens, you will have a new job   
   ready as the town square jester. That was VERY funny!   
      
   Do you actually still expect me to give you ANY information, let   
   alone useful?   
      
   May you live to be a hundred and eleven, Your Highness.   
   And may you use Explorer until you draw your last breath.   
   The whole kingdom will mourn you, but we'll get over it   
   eventually.
