Is it your intention to annoy people or do you actually not read any of the
posts that you reply to? Can't you see that I was replying to the OP of
this
thread when you started asking me questions?

I have already posted here and got the same canned answers that you send
to everyone.

Have a nice day.

No, it's my intention to avoid confusing OPs and myself, primarily, and to
make sure we're only discussing /your/ computer.

AFAIK, your only other recent posts in IE General or WinXP General
newsgroups were in a thread which you'd also hijacked and I didn't reply to
either of your posts:

Adding to a thread is not normally considered hijacking. That usually
refers to taking the thread to a different topic from
which the OP intended. I don't see that in the links that you point to as
the topic of the thread is not violated.

Anyway, please add me to your kill file. I will do the same.
Plonk.

I think it is useless to discuss with him about those topics...
This guy thinks he can impose his preferences about usenet posting on
everyone posting in the same groups as he does.

Notice his silly comments when people reply to his boilerplate questions
by typing the answer below each question. (the clearest way of answering
those questions IMHO)
He reacts as if they have committed a serious offense by not following
his lame style of typing a followup above the original, and then quoting
the entire original article. So then they have to refer back to his
questions "by number" (he adds). But those questions are not even numbered
in all of his boilerplates!

Had he used a decent newsreader, he could view the original article at
a click of the mouse (or a key on the keyboard), so why bother insisting
on quoting the original?
But he almost threatens those that do not do it his way.

He must have a lot of people in his killfile, or he enjoys posting his
boilerplates a lot. Often does it happen that a question has already
been answered and the OP has confirmed success, but still he adds a followup
asking about the exact version numbers of windows and internet explorer...

I think you are right, killfiling may be a good idea.
