My attorney tells me that your comments are actionable too, and that a
jury would almost certainly find in my favour. However, it would be a
Pyrrhic victory since the pecuniary damage caused by a few posts to a
usenet group that virtually no-one reads anymore is utterly
insignificant and they probably wouldn't award costs either given the
fairly mild nature of the posts and the fact that they would probably
think I was massively over-reacting. For the sake of my health I
should probably stop reading CSS for a while. I'm sure no-one will any
sleep over that though.

We find in favour of the plaintiff.

there was some discussion about which one is the plaintiff - the
complainy guy or the weasel, but we were unanimous in not wanting to be
here any longer...

Guilty as charged.

I mean to say, in Agent this thread has broken into at least four
"different" threads (oops, five now that I've spawned another branch).

Agent has had this irritating bug since at least the time I started
using Free Agent... TEN years ago. I'd have thought Forte would have
found and fixed it by now. [No, clearly they don't give a fort --
Ed]

Tell them about it? Maybe everyone who uses it thinks someone else will
report the bug so they've never bothered.

Or you might want to dig around in the preferences for threading options.
(the correct method is threading by reference or subject+reference rather
than just subject line)

tin of course threads it fine.

Done that (just now), and there are two: "Enable threading by
subject" and "Start a new thread when a follow-up subject changes"
(both checked by default). Unfortunately, unchecking either or both,
and clicking Apply, has no visible effect.

Actually the quote is originally from The Hobbit, wherein you can do
all sorts of stuff to provoke the "Time passes..." response -- even
set fire to yourself! :-)

That's why sirclive was programmed with those triggers.
