Yes, Borland has never asked anyone not to do this, and indeed most third-party vendors here do it. "boxboy" is free to do it, too, provided that his posts are on-topic. Quote: (I suppose that to be reasonable, you could make a newsgroup rule that signatures be limited to less than 256 characters or so.) There's no rule at all on signature length, mostly because it's never been an issue. I personally choose to stick to the Usenet convention of <= 4 lines, but that's just my own choice, not a rule here. -- Craig Stuntz [TeamB] · Vertex Systems Corp. · Columbus, OH Delphi/InterBase Weblog : http://blogs.teamb.com/craigstuntz How to ask questions the smart way: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Back to top boxboy Guest Posted: Fri May 12, 2006 8:14 pm    Post subject: Re: New delphi article onloe "Craig Stuntz [TeamB]" <craig_stuntz (AT) nospam (DOT) please [a.k.a. acm.org]> wrote in message news:4464b837$1 (AT) newsgroups (DOT) borland.com...

So are you telling me that all the posts I have read on this forum that link to press releases, Dr Dobbs articles, and Nick's blog entries are off-topic? If not then please explain why my post is labeled as off-topic.

Please don't use your misconceptions as a platform for character asasination. As far as changes go, it is them same article text as when first posted. I wouldn't waste my time trying to be constructive toward the Delphi community if I had known that so many hotheaded took every chance they have to break down other's foundation. That's just immature. Others can read the article text without misquotations and judge: "A common feature of Microsoft Windows is auto completion. Auto completion functions to expand text as you type, making suggestions to reduce repetitive tasks. With auto completion, partial words can be expanded into more complete phrases that match a stored list of choices. The end result is less typing and more accurate text entry." Banner ads aside, it is doubtless the substance remains the same.
