One would think it would be a simple matter to have some sort of check to
make sure a poster puts something in the body of the message, or have it
default to "no text"...

Until then, we can only hope people will one day learn the difference
between "subject" and "message".

Daryl,

it's probably something to do with the browser that you use to access
the newsgroups. If a poster does not expand on his heading for the
thread and use the message body, then some browsers do not allow you
to respond to it.

Hope this helps.

Jackson -

I can't reply to your posting directly - I suspect the "^" character in your
posting subject may be the culprit.

To answer your question, the carat represents a 'to the power of' operation.
That is x^2 means x squared (x times itself). y^3 means y cubed (y times y
times y).

Hope that helps!
