Please do not write attribution novels. Duplicating header information
other than the name of the previous poster(s) serves no greater good but
instead makes discussions less legible.

Always W('d)FM, so you should post the relevant snippet along with
the exact Firefox version you have tested with (see Help, About ...;
0.9.x is current, BTW) to the *one* right newsgroup.

And have you even understood the document the above URL refers to?
Please learn how to avoid crossposting as Google Groups is incapable
of obeying Followup-To (i.e. setting the target newsgroup to the one
that was specified in the Followup-To header of the posting one
replies to). Or simply use newsreader software which allows you to
get rid of the other Google Groups' flaws. I recommend Mozilla
Thunderbird, see <http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird/>.

In a message inscribed upon the eternal scroll know as Usenet, Thomas
'PointedEars' Lahn wrote diligently about the abstract ideas of
attribution lines:

It seems ironic that you waste more time/space complaining about
attributions than the attributions take up. And to top it off, your
argument is utter nonsense.

To date, that is the dumbest thing I have seen you write. If the source
of a problem is not known, and it is possible it may have several
different possible solutions, then crossposting is the *correct* thing
to do, as compared to multi-posting.
