Please do better research before making claims.

1.) Why would you imagine that a Polish person would be using a Swedish
keyboard? And what difference does it make if someone is 15 or 115?
Please answer the argument instead of trying to insult the person.

2.) Veronica DID NOT WRITE anything in that chart. The chart is entirely
made by me. What makes you imagine that I would post something without
giving credit where credit is due? (Veronica has always said it was my
chart. Did you not believe her?) I did not change the warning to suit
you, JRO; I changed it because someone else said he found the tone
condescending. If I were going to be vindictive towards you alone, I'd
replace the "No no no..." again just to spite you.

But this newsgroup does not revolve around you, or me for that matter,
or any one person in particular. It is global and it is designed to
serve all. Please sit back for as long as it takes and try to comprehend
that there is a whole world of people and OS's out there. Many do not
use OE5. Many who HAVE OE5 use another newsreader because of the
limitations of OE5. I have grave doubts that you get e-mail from every
reader of this newsgroup so your statistics cannot be correct.

Here is another smaller clever chart which also lets you know if you are
using a monospace font.

  ASCII Character Table      
                           The numbers show you the hex-code of
                           the characters (e.g. the letter 'C' has
      xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx     the code 43).
  `.  0123456789ABCDEF  
    `,----------------.    Only the characters that you can find
  2x | !"#$%&'()*+,-./|    in this box are called ASCII, you
  3x |0123456789:;<=>?|    shouldn't use any other.
  4x |@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNO|
  5x |PQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_|    Also you should see this as a box.
  6x |`abcdefghijklmno|    If you don't then you have to change
  7x |pqrstuvwxyz{|}~ |    to a fixed-width font (e.g. COURIER).
     `----------------'
         __                Use only these characters and you will  
    \\__/_                 have more fun in news:alt.ascii-art

3.) Nobody owns a thread. These are discussions. One person starts a
thread. Other people join in. (By the way, the correct spelling is
"etiquette" - at least that is the way it is spelled in the Collins
English Dictionary on my desk. It is also the way it is spelled in
Merriam-Webster on line dictionary http://www.m-w.com/ if you prefer to
refer to an American dictionary.)
