Your posts don't make sense if you don't include a snippit at least of
what you are responding to. Sorry, I don't know how to do it, I just copied the bit above. I thought if you read a post, then hit reply, your reply was to that post, how do I do it? Thanks for the advice. |

It's fairly normal that a newsreader includes the text of the post you reply to and you trim accordingly. If you are going through Google, perhaps someone can advise... is it "show quoted text" on Google??? Cheers, helen s |

Walberswick, that'll be Suffolk ;-) Also a lovely county, next door to Norfolk :-) Nathan does quite a few time trials in the area. Walberswick is lovely - bitterns on the marshes.. fishing for crabs in Walberswick water... Very peaceful area, glorious in summer. Very Ye Olde England feel - stepping back in time, but with astronomical property prices, as it's very des-res these days. The north Norfolk coast is equally lovely - bits of North Norfolk referred to as Chelsea-on-Sea due to all the media/city banking types using astronomical amounts of money to buy up properties for second homes - so the locals can't afford to live there any more.

In article . com you wrote: Your posts don't make sense if you don't include a snippit at least of what you are responding to. Sorry, I don't know how to do it, I just copied the bit above. I thought if you read a post, then hit reply, your reply was to that post, how do I do it? Thanks for the advice. With Google Groups, that simply posts your reply with no quoted material at all to show what you are talking about. And since your reply will arrive at computers around the world at different times, it won't necessarily arrive immediately after the post you are referring to. It might even arrive before the post you are referring to. So you should include just enough text from the previous post to make it clear what your comment is about, and then add your comment below. Many, probably most, newsreaders automatically quote the entire previous post, so you can snip it as much or as little as necessary. I think in Google you can do it by either clicking on 'options', then 'reply'. I dislike web-style programs for newsgroups, and hate Google's version in particular, so I am not a member of Google and can't check this out to see if it works. -- Cheryl |

It would not be seen as acceptable in the UK for a dog never to run off lead even if only at the weekend on a visit outside town. A shelter here would not allow a dog adoption if it had to stay on a lead all its life. They would rightly say you do not have the facilities. In many places it's *illegal* to let your pet (dog or cat) run off the leash (the entire idea is to eliminate "packs")! If caught, the animal goes to the municipal shelter, and you can bet it's not a no-kill one. Leash laws do vary though - in our town animals are supposed to be on the leash at all times when off their owners' property. A nearby town recently passed a leash law that said they could be off the leash in the local park if they were there with an owner (or other human responsible for them). In both towns, dogs have to wear a collar with their registration/vaccination tags on it when outside. Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha My dog Sampson was never allowed to run loose. Imagine my surprise one day when a deputy sheriff showed up at my door. Yes, they were going door to door checking to see if people who owned dogs had their shot records, and registration tags up to date! Like owning a car!! If Sampson hadn't barked when he knocked, he never would have known I had a dog. I was given a written warning and 7 days to get a tag (I did keep up his shots, I'm not irresponsible). The deputy showed back up a week later to make sure the dog was wearing a proper license tag on his collar. Gave Sampson a good scritching, too Jill |

Forgot to say - one of my joys of cycling the lanes locally, when cycling through villages is the number of cats I make friends with en route. I can stop for a breather in a village and frequently I'll be visited by a curious furry face peering over a garden wall or through a boundary hedge. It make a cycle ride worthwhile when I am allowed to give an earscritching to a friendly feline who has come to investigate the strange hoomin in acres of yellow & black Lycra :-) Cheers, helen s |

"Smokie Darling (Annie)" wrote in message oups.com... Posting through Google: Click the "show options" hyperlink next to the poster's name. A grey box opens (well, sort of), click on reply (NOT reply to author), that will give you the entire post. Then you may snip what you do not want. It will allow attribution as well. Smokie Darling (Annie) - who, for some odd reason, just loves using Google. Well done that woman!! Cheers, helen s |
