"For members using AOL over a dial-up connection, you will no longer be able to
access Newsgroups."

The above is being posted to all AOL members.  It might be a good thing,
considering the quality of postings to A.S.A. these last few months.  It
doesn't seem to be a support group anymore.

You are aware you can still get on via Google Groups?
Course, it is a bit more difficult to navigate, but doable.

Why are you still using AOL?? It is designed for idiots and run by idiots.

A little patronising, given that there are people who have perfectly good
reasons for using it.

Such as ... "it was my first ISP and I don't want
to change emails?"

Inertia is an excuse - not a reason :o)

I have to say none of the techie guys I know would have AOL, and I don't
want it because of the problems it caused with networking. It is probably
more a matter of not wanting to have to change emails for most people who
don't change though, don't you think?

My parents use it. It's easy for them because they are elderly and 2000 miles
away, and it just works.

I wouldn't personally touch it with a shitty stick (indeed, I don't even use
a Wintel machine), but it suits them just fine.

In your case, it comprises many things, including asking questions in a
condescending manner as well as fretting over such inconsequences as posting
order, someone who abbreviates "citation" as "cite", and your betters, who
are legion.

You really don't know what it means. :) Never mind, honey. You keep
muddling through as best you can, now.

I wouldn't want to rely just on the Mary connection--too tenuous...

Isn't that a shoe size?

ObAsthma: I always thought that the positive effect of showers on
asthma was from the steam humidifying the inhaled air.  By that logic
hot showers should be better than cold ones.  If the positive effect
is from removing pollen, hot versus cold shouldn't make any
difference.

Since I'm only an MSEE, I was afraid that I had been short-changed... :-)

Makes sense. But when the problem is overheating in hot and too humid
temperatures (caused by 'extreme gardening' usually! :) ) then a cool
shower, for me, is quick to ease my breathing. I think the cool airborne
moisture is as much a part of it as anything.
