 Okay, "not really" what....
 That this newsgroup is "not really" "microsoft.public.windowsupdate?"
 That this newsgroup is "not really" not Operating System specific?
 That this newsgroup is "not really" not the XP newsgroup?
 That there was "not really" no evidence of cross-posting?
 That the poster "not really" thought he was in a different newsgroup
than what he actually was? (That's what my "wrong turn" comment WITH
SMILIE was about.)
 That I was "not really" right about any of it?

 Probably, but the point, of course, was that THIS newsgroup is neither
the XP newsgroup (as was stated) nor an Operating System specific
newsgroup period. That statement stands on its own, regardless of your
"assessment(s)."

 And I don't see any references or replies made by you to Torgeir
Bakken's comment "Actually, this newsgroup is for all Microsoft OS
versions..." to the same poster. Singling me out for some particular
reason?
