[Reader-list] Whose Plot is this really ?

[Samuel X. Hood]

Hi. I have nothing to do with IT other than using the internet, so 
please forgive my ignorance. I have used a dial-up modem in the past 
and know what a browser is - using one right now. But have not heard of 
a "dial-up browser". Could Pawan or someone else  please tell me what a 
dial-up browser is? Also, what is meant by "text was in DOS mode"?

Dear Yousuf ,

I do believe that my knowledge about Internet is probably better than 
yours.
I am into IT services only and am in www world since I was using a 14.4 
kbps
dial up browser and the text was in dos mode.

You may have heard of this , and I am sure never experienced it.

Coming back to accusations , I am as guilty " if it assumed by some" as
someone else is.As i have said , i do not challenge a moderator and 
neither
do i like someone challenging me in the group i run. That group is 
almost 10
years old.

If someone challenges my cause by overtly or covertly supporting or
sympathising with my tormentors , i wont sit back.

I dont know what CSDS or whatever is ! It doesnt matter to me.

You may continue to have vote for my expulsion, and that makes me 
remember
castro , who once said "I would not vote for the mayor. It's not just
because he didn't invite me to dinner, but because on my way into town 
from
the airport there were such enormous potholes."

Best regards
