Yes, actually I am. If you continue to multipost and/or otherwise post
incorrectly, people will not answer your questions. So you will be
"cutting off your nose to spite your face". Since you are using the web
interface, you probably don't know that you are really posting in a
Usenet newsgroup. Here is some information to help you understand
Usenet and what to expect:
