Given the way you post, I don't think you're worth knowing.

If you're so smart, Joseph, how come you don't know that article
numbers vary from site to site, so that some places article #52534
expired months ago, and other places it hasn't even appeared yet?  Why
do you think the software starts Followup postings with "In article
<...>" rather than "In article #..."?  Could it be because the
Message-ID is the identification field that remains the same among
sites?

If you had mentioned that was your budget, there were several speakers
in that price range that are much better.  But of course, it's too
late for you now.

As I said, some people read it years ago.  Other people won't get to
that message number for years to come.

Oh, no, yours is actually better than anybody else's, even those of us
who have much larger budgets and are able to get appropriate advice,
and can choose from a much larger set of possibilities.

[Lots of stuff that I hope comes back to haunt him when he applies for
a job and finds out that some of the people on the net have some input
into the hiring process deleted.]

Some people here just like to give good advice.  Others like to argue,
but even that can be useful.  Your idiotic flaming, on the other hand,
is not only useless, but it isn't even entertaining.

How clever of you.  Did you come up with that on your own?

Some people (including you) have software that automatically puts
names and addresses in the header.  Some of us even know that.

I'll bet the rest of the city is very proud of you right now.
