For goodness sake, stop picking people up on their grammar or spelling,

As for goodness, I am doing you a good turn by educating you and not

Why? You were happy to pick holes in the content of a TV station that does
not yet broadcast! Pot and kettle come very much to mind!

You really are a sad little troll, and how deluded to think that you are
educating people with your pedantic remarks. What gives you the right to
criticise, are you the official upholder of the english language, If you
really want to do a good turn keep your trite comments to yourself.

Picky little sh*t aren't you, always looking out for grammar errors,
ever
thought of getting a life, or actually giving a sensible response to
the
OP's message.

Why do you think that my response was not sensible?


It wasn't sensible because the mistake the OP made was almost certainly a
typo rather than an educational error. It wasn't sensible because on Usenet
it's considered acceptable to write in the vernacular, with standards
equivalent to a conversation rather than a letter.

bulb?

Q: How many Newsgroup members does it take to change a light bulb?

A: 1,331:

1 to change the light bulb and to post to the newsgroup that the light bulb

has been changed.

14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light

bulb could have been changed differently.

7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs.

27 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs.

53 to flame the spell checkers.

156 to write to the newsgroup complaining about the light bulb discussion

and its inappropriateness to this newsgroup.

41 to correct spelling in the spelling/grammar flames.

109 to post that the newsgroup is not about light bulbs and to please take

this posting to alt.lite.bulb

203 to demand that cross posting to alt.grammar, alt.spelling and

alt.punctuation about changing light bulbs be stopped.

111 to defend the posting to this list saying that we all use light bulbs

and therefore the posts **are** relevant to this mail list.

306 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy

the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this

technique, and what brands are faulty.

27 to post URLs where one can see examples of different light bulbs.

14 to post that the URLs were posted incorrectly, and to post corrected

URLs.

3 to post about links they found from the URLs that are relevant to this

list which makes light bulbs relevant to this list.

33 to merge all posts to date, then quote them including all headers and

footers, and then add "Me Too."

12 to post to the list that they are unsubscribing because they cannot

handle the light bulb controversy.

19 to quote the "Me Too's" to say, "Me Three."

4 to suggest that posters request the light bulb FAQ.

1 to propose new alt.change.lite.bulb newsgroup.

47 to say this is just what alt.physic.cold_fusion was meant for, leave it

here.

143 votes for alt.lite.bulb.

Multiplex D : Movie Channel, with games channel during downtime


Why would a movie channel have a downtime? Aren't there enough movies
around?

For some reason i just assumed it would be films that Channel 4 have
made and similer, which usually can only be shown after the watershed!

If they do launch that i can't see the range being much larger than
Channel 4 Films and ones the BBC have invested in, for a while anyway.

Why? There must be thousands of old 'family' films that can be shown for
next to nothing.

Thank you! Being called a pedant indicates that you accept that I am not
wrong.

What gives you the right to
criticise,

That is easy to answer. I was simply responding in kind! The OP was
criticising the broadcast content of 'ITV4' even though it has not yet
broadcast a single thing. Hence, if he is entitled to criticise, then so am
I of him. Beams and motes come to mind.



are you the official upholder of the english language,

We all are. By the way, it is 'English'.

If you
really want to do a good turn keep your trite comments to yourself.

I could respond with your last comment.

I have not watched ITV3, but I have seen the T.v listings and that was
enough.

certainly don't need a gaming channel. Not sure what they planned to do,

No, we certainly do not.


but I would have thought NBC or Disney could have come up with something
better. I'm surprised they didn't have the money to win it.

Yes, I thought they could have put more money in.
