Hi all,

Is anyone else experiencing any issues with the network? I haven't been
able to get the "triangle" for the last day or so, and I've turned
on/off the radio several times and even hard reset my treo 650.

Data has been erratic here in Northern California (no connection problems, but
long pauses and poor throughput) for a little over a week.  I speculate that
this is a symptom of the turnon of HSDPA.  Things seem to have been slowly
getting better, so I'm hoping the system will soon be back to normal.

And finally, after half an hour, he wrote:

From 2:30am PST to 3:03am PST, John sat down and spent that time in ONE
NEWSGROUP.

He has a problem.

I guess it hasn't occurred to you that I happened to be in a different time
zone.  ;)

>He has a problem.

You're the one "analyzing" posting patterns.  ;)

It doesn't matter.  You spent a full half-hour in the middle of the
night, regardless of time zone, in one newsgroup.

You have a problem.

Somewhere around Fri, 16 Dec 2005 19:17:09 -0500, while reading
alt.cellular.cingular, I think I thought I saw this post from "Elmo P.
Shagnasty" <elmop@nastydesigns.com>:

I don't really want to get pissed on in the middle of your pissing contest,
but I think most people will agree that you have the problem, not Navas.

The fact that you expect someone to defend why he made posts at whatever
time he made them, for a trifling 1/2 hour, is ludicrous and stupid.

When I fire up my newsreader and see nothing but John Navas postings,
I'm curious when they all came about.

The truth will out.

If he were in some other timezone, or awake at 2am, it would make sense
that a bunch of the latest posts would all be from him.

I leave my newsreader running while I do other things, coming back to it
throughout the day.  What if I made one post at 10pm, and another at 6am.
Would you think I spent 8 hours "in" this newsgroup?  What does "in" mean
in this context?

Why would it matter to you?  John is certainly prolific in his posts, but I
don't see how it matters what the time or time span is.

Your first post on this shows up as Fri, 16 Dec 2005 03:17:50 in my
newsreader, and this one at Fri, 16 Dec 2005 16:17:39.  What were you doing
in this newsgroup at 3am, and still here almost exactly thirteen hours
later?

It means that I checked news at one point, then an hour later again, and
this newsgroup filled up with over a dozen posts--all from Navas, and
all within a half hour, and all in the middle of the night.

Not still here--here again.

AW come on Elmo!
Your anti-Navas triads are getting old.
Lay off.
Kill-file, there's a thought. Wonder if it works!
