Still no one has an answer to my #17 ?

What's #17? Do you realize that your posts don't stay on that
little
board you play in? That they come out on Usenet?

We don't see that list.

Oh ye good question ... what is #17 ? Did you ever notice that the
posts in this forum have numbers ? So #17 is post number 17 like it
says
on the right side of the post. I have no other way to refer to a
previous post. Post to which I'm still waiting for a reply. But
perhaps
you have the answer. If you don't have that list you can't answer
indeed. Sorry, than let's leave it to those that eventually visit
the
Vistaheads forum. I can't go through all the explanations again.

No, it's you who needs the explanation and I say this not to hurt your
feelings but to help you get the solution to your question which you
obviously want. You are not posting on a real forum as you think you
are
and you didn't quote any of the thread to which you are replying. You
are
using a web interface that leeches Usenet posts and most of the rest of
us
are using real newsreaders. We don't see what you do. If you want to
participate in Usenet, the better way is to set up a newsreader. This
is
very easy to do and I'll give you information about that below. If you
prefer to use a forum, then here are two excellent ones:

'AumHa Forums &bull; Index page' (http://forum.aumha.org/index.php)
http://http://computerhaven.info/

Since you are using a web interface, you may not realize that this is
really
a newsgroup. You will get far more out of this resource if you learn to
use
a newsreader. There are many good newsreaders for Windows, but you can
use
Outlook Express (XP) or Windows Mail (Vista) since you already have
it.

Ok, so I thought I was posting on a real forum, and of course I know I
left the quoting out, because I edited it. I'm not yet into this
newsgroup thing anyway. I'll see if I can rearange my previous posts of
which I left some quoting too, so that they all contain the full story.
