Thank you for another example I can use when people ask me why I use different software for email and for Usenet.

Mind you, a list of your forthcoming assignations would provide even better evidence :)

8-) I use the same software, but it wouldn't let me make the same mistake without an "Are you sure you want to do this" warning.

Are you inviting the whole of the uk.finance usenet group to attend the proms at your expense? If so, that's very generous!

Hands up anyone who has answered, "of course I bloody do" to:

Do you want to format your hard drive now? /

That's a nice idea. A uf meet. The Mark Elder concert looks worthwhile.

It seems that Windows is now clever enough not to reformat a "system" disk.

I have one which I have taken out of a spare machine which I want to put into a portable housing and it point blank refuses to (re) format it.

My apologies to uk.finance; although the group is smaller than it once was I regret I cannot issue an open invitation!
