"The original post"

OK, here is the story.
I was mowing the lawn, I hit a stick (pine), it bent the right blade AND
the
bent blade cut into the mowing deck (about 2.5 inches)
I think this was a freak accident, but??

The Sears guy is coming out to look at it Sat.
I've already pounded the metal back in place, and straighten the blade
enough to mow the rest of the property, it just needs a spot weld now (oh
and at least one blade (or some hammering). Three hours on the new
mower.. ugh
When that blade hit the mowing deck it stopped the engine cold!! (it
started
fine and I've run it for about 1 hour so I think it's fine) "no strange
noises"

After looking at the other mowers and finding out the mower deck on my
machine was to low, they sent out another repair guy to verify I'm not a
dirty filthy liar, he verified yup it was to low, when set at the max deck
height. To low by about 5/8"

Sears built me a new one, it was built on 09/05/07 and delivered it
09/06/07, delivery free of charge.
Deck/blade height is right on.
Blades that came with it are like the replacement blades I bought to replace
the old ones. (heavier duty)
The engine runs smoother at all throttle settings.
The cables and electrical wires are all installed correctly. (up that was
screwed on the old one too)
The steering wheel was installed correctly. (the wheel was off center and I
had to fix it on the old one)

I thought for sure they were going send me a floor model and say it was new,
but they did not.

The Dept. manager and the staff all treated me very well (before and
especially after the verification of the defect)
Kathy is happy with the mower, I'm happy with the final outcome, (new mower
deck AND mower)
With my luck someone will steal it tonight.........

Thank god for spell check.

Ahh. So, you needed to change one character in your post, and you
felt it necessary to make a 153 line post to do it. Got ya.

*shakes head*

Quality newsreaders (and most servers) will allow you to SUPERCEDE a
post that you made. The servers that don't support it, will simply
add the edited post. (I'm betting you already knew that.) There was
no need to change the format of the message in order to change that
one character.


I found a hot button for Eggs! :-)

Quality news readers? I'm using Outlook express! I obviously don't know
anything about quality.....

There was
no need to change the format of the message in order to change that

You caught me I'm a dumbass.... sorry is to much and I don't give crap ain't
right either... I'm stuck!!!!
Well I guess I had a brain fart...

Wrong again, d00d. I saw it as text/plain (text/html is also an
option, so I saw your change, which didn't require a format change).

You're totally missing the point(s). There are still many people that
pay-per-byte for their news service. HTML posts eat that up quickly,
as one can't tell the format of the message until it's already been
downloaded. HTML adds unnecessary code to the post, as was
demonstrated by your reply above (which I've snipped). It's also a
security risk from scripts.


Old dog new trick thing?

Ya. You should learn to use an app that was designed for newsgroups.
I've offered before to help you set one up, that I think you'll like.
That offer still stands.

don't matter I like him even if he smells like old Egg. lol

I kidd. Eggs I kidd.

It's all good, d00d. Just lose the HTML.

I told you I was a dumbass.....
People still pay per byte? where in Africa? Brazil? "well just insert any
third world country here"
I'm an American I don't care about anyone else (mostly true).

I'll stick to OE, 'cause I like the way it formats.
I mean jeez I'm already using post fixer, which by the way, is causing my
OE to see duplicate post, as the dates and time are identical.

maybe I should be posting from Google groups. lol
I'm gonna fire up my linux box and post HTML, joking.. well maybe.....
(I'll avoid this group and **** off some other people).

Like I said I had a brain fart.

Nope, not third world, man. More for binary use, but text isn't always

So, if you had a program that you were able to make look like OE, only MUCH
better, you'd be interested?

I mean jeez I'm already using post fixer, which by the way, is causing my

I'm not so sure that OE Quotefix is causing the duplicates. If it is,
you're the first person to ever have it happen to them.
