Plane spotters given id cards

May 04, 2004 15 Replies

Just heard on the news that plane spotters at Heathrow have been given id cards and told to report anything suspicious. Perhaps something for some stations to consider, instead of harassing enthusiasts, encouraging them to keep a look out. Not sure what the id cards give them extra authority to do though.

Sorry, posted to the wrong group. Would have deleted it if I could find out how!

Many newsservers don't allow you to delete posts because they (the posts) propagate so fast that it is almost impossible to do effectively.

My own does allow deletes but even if you do it almost immediately most people still get to see it.

In my case to delete a post just click on it and press delete but anticipate that the only people who won't see it are those on the same newsserver as you

Absolutely none, probably why he said this "Sorry, posted to the wrong group."

Am I telepathic? I posted the response before seeing apology

Your news server's crap then, the apology came over 24h before you posted a response!

No need to be, just read the rest of the thread before replying.

It was posted a day before your reply.

I apologise most sincerely for posting to the wrong group and waiting

21 minutes before admitting my error!

I read posts in order and don't read the whole thread before posting replies

So how would I have seen it ?

Bad etiqutte that is.

If you would have read the whole thread you would have seen it.

Sorry, I haven't seen that defined anywhere

Sorry, stuck with it.

By the time I would have read the whole thread, I would have forgotten what posts I want to reply to

whatever, I don't top post, I snip and I take each post as it comes

In message , MBQ writes

Sorry I don't, and don't intend to

So ?
