I posted a *polite request* yet you use terms such as 'bullied' and 'usenet
police'.

You are imagining problems where there are none. A difference in
perspective, yes, but for goodness sake...

Read Scott's contribution later in the thread and reflect.

first, outlook express used text only for news as default. html used only
for email. second, even if you post article in html format outlook express
will append section in plain text so your message will be readable with
text only readers.

F,

Hey, thanks for the heads-up! I reset my newsgroup reader to text only.

Makes sense to me. I don't see any purpose in trying to use html in a
newsgroup at all. By the way, my newsgroup reader is Netscape 4.8
(my browser of choice), and, to me, it all looks like text.

Alan,

I basically agree with you. No single person owns usenet. However, you
wouldn't believe the flak I've gotten on the alt.hmtl newsgroup about "top
posting". It seems there are some purists who want to control the rest of
us with "their rules".

An update: HP Support have denied that there is a generic problem, despite
postings to the contrary here. They suggest that I need to close
applications through Settings -> Running Programs: I've tod them twice that
I do that. They then suggest that prior to switching the 4700 off each
time, I do a soft reset! Finally they have suggested sending it for
'service'.

This, after almost two weeks of emails. I'm not impressed and can't see
there's any point in returning it to them! Unless anyone thinks otherwise?

Oh there is definitely an issue here, he memory declines on my machine from
30mb to around 22 during the course of the working day.

Even if not used at all it can lose 2mb...

I would think this is only an issue if it doesn't free up memory when
something else needs it.

It doesn't: to the extent that, eventually, the only way to remove a window
complaining that memory is short is through a soft reset...
