KB976902 update disappears into Black Hole

Oh, OK, I get that part now. But isn't bottom-posting also following (most)
Usenet standards?

Yes, now that you ask. ;-)

(I know there are many, many trains of thought on that
question- it's more rhetorical than anything else ) But then the
argument becomes, is it really broken just because it DOESN'T delete
everything below the sig?

It depends. In this case, yes.

I've used many newsreaders, mail clients, and
combo products such as OE, WLM, and Thunderbird, over the years. If one
doesn't behave the same as another, does that mean the other is broke?

I would say the ones that don't comply with Usenet standards are
'broken', although in the case of some Microsoft newsreaders it seems
to be intentional.

That one ^^. It gets my vote!

Thanks for your support. I need all the votes I can get

Although maybe you *shouldn't* encourage me...

Okay,

Come on - you *know* you're supposed to change the order before
interleaving. It should have said "works you for whatever"

Yeah... I thought of that right after I hit Send.

Yeah... I thought of that right after I hit Send.

OTOH, I never would have thought of your original interleaving...I just
wait around until someone else gets a good idea, then I add a minor
amendment

I'm like that, too. They say the early bird gets the worm but the
second mouse gets the cheese, so it works out for me. I like cheese
better than worms anyway.
