- I never stated that Thor was "state of the art", and it seems it is not
- since one can't discard some messages offline with the help of headers
- before uploading news.
-
- By the way, Thor is good enough for my needs, except that it lacks some few
- features, like the above one and a hierarchical structure for "conferences".
- But I'm pretty sure they will be implemented soon though.

-
- Obviously. I tried once and failed, because of a missing MuFS write
- permission it seems. Then I believed it was another "register-me"
- feature... It should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

- Would you believe that I expected this very kind of question?
-
- The answer is rather straight: in very few days (if Thor people are fast
- enough) you will discover the UNREGISTERED VERSION has disappeared from
- my header.

- My apologies for this mistake. So you're only guilty of rejecting the fault
- to news readers instead to goofy posters... That's half bad. ;-)

- Well, I would like to believe you, but I can't find your real address in any
- of the fields of the header of your messages. I know Thor people are reading,
- they will probably come with the right answer...

-
- I know analogies are risky business here, but I will try my one: transposing
- to a car accident, your statement would reject the fault to the one who
- failed to brake in emergency (say, because of a low-end, non ABS car) instead
- to the one who refused priority...
-
- On the contrary I would say there could be no excuses only for the ones that
- don't respect elementary rules of politness on the net (netiquette). Which
- means, too, not being really rude with the ones that do a mistake...
