The message from "Skier" contains these words:

Sometimes called a diffusor.

[John Stumbles]

Whatever. I've never come across them as a spare.

I am amazed at the educated guesses about the (I'm not too sure how to say this) content? of a picture depicting something that isn't there.

How didn't the OP not manage to take a picture of itn't?

[Clive George]

My guess would be that the OP lives in one of those houses which has the modern feature of both cold _and_ hot running water :-)

cheers, clive

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Weatherlawyer" saying something like:

For sure, itt's a sensible thing to do. We should take pictures of all the little bits and bobs that go to make up larger items in the event of them going missing.

These days, with HD storage being so cheap, I'd imagine an entire household could be accomodated several times over, thus opening up the possibility of providing a service for the neighbours - just in case they lose something too.

The message from Grimly Curmudgeon contains these words:

All my treasured data is backed up onto DVDs in the fire safe, and across the LAN and to my brother's LAN 40 miles away. I know this doesn't get round the obselescence problem, but it does at least (with proper journalled backups) reduce the chances of losing all the photos of the kids. Also, a fair few of the choicest pics have been printed (proper photoprints, not inkjets) and given to other rellies.

Maybe you should figure out how to work a calendar before trying to sound clever on usenet?

Hint1: you're 11 years too late.

Hint2: the h-o-m-e-o-w-n-e-r-s-h-u-b website isn't usenet.

Fuck off and die.

[tabbypurr]

No, answering enquiries 11 year later is not useful.

Most of us are on text only Usenet groups so we don't see the photos and the post to which you are replying expired soon after it was posted in

2006 - a decade+ ago.

[Brian Gaff]

Only if we could see it even if it were a quote without going to a tacky web interface to a usenet text group. Brian

[Brian Gaff]

As I said before if the web interface this web site used was any good then people might use it, but since half the time the date is mangled old posts come up as new ones.

Just to clarify, the original post in this thread in the web site, which seems to strip it out and shove it at the top of each thread reads thus. . posted on July 28, 2006, 4:02 pm

So all of our messages poking fun at recent posts are because of this. If the original poster has not come up with an answer by now, then there is no hope for any of us. grin.

Please when you do post to this list via the web forum portal on that web site, make sure by looking to the date of the original post that its not wildly out of date. Also if its a new query, give as much info as you can. If its a comment on a quoted message,then make sure the quote is actually in that message or it will not be of much use. Now back to your scheduled content. Brian

[alan_m]

That's what we see if going to the referenced article - a question that was often posted at least 10 years ago. The home hub user may not see the same information from the web page they use to post. The home hub site runs a banner with questions which suggests that is a current query rather than something they have dragged out of a decade old archive.

It can get worse... The sister site that promotes 10 year old posts about motors (cars) ALWAYS references the SAME 10 year old question about a Fiat Punto, irrespective of the post the motors hub user is replying to. When the motors hub users fails to quote anything from the previous post other readers don't have a clue what they are writing about.

On my Ideal Standard taps they were screw in aireator ..... (sp?) you fit them if you wanted your water to come out full of micro-bubbles ....
