Frankly, I would imagine most people who read the NeWS newsgroup DID
find it funny.  What ISN'T funny is someone like YOU indiscriminately
cross-posting to a bunch of newsgroups that in NO WAY relate to your
question.  Just to make it VERY clear, asking MS Windows questions in
the Sun NeWS newsgroup does not meet you criteria of reaching
"relevant readers", even tho there will certainly be knowledgeable
people here.  Chris was very nicely making the point that your note
was not appropriate, and I think you should have the "maturity not to
insult..." when you are wrong.  As far as "higher education" (what WAS
the relevance of that, by the way), please read news.announce.newusers
so that you will be educated as to what is proper net behaviour
concerning cross-posting.  

Oh, and having been exposed to both NeWS and Windows...the
Porsche/Yugo analogy was appropriate...
