<Grin> They're not "my" classifications.

I've been burning disks for years, now and this stuff was all news to me.
Lord, I wish I'd run across some of this information a couple of years, ago.
It's a long story but it would have saved a BUNCH of head scratching and
wondering what the hell was going on.

Right-click your post that you wish to cancel, then choose "Cancel
Message" (this is in Thunderbird). Although I've done it quite a few
times before, I've always been uncertain as to whether or not it
actually succeeded in canceling the post. I *do* know, however, that
*if* it does work, the longer the time between posting and cancellation,
the more people will receive it, anyway, despite the cancellation.

Perhaps someone will come along with some definitive information on our
ability, or lack thereof, of canceling posts to this newsgroup. Probably
I've just been fooling myself that it's even within the realm of
possibilities. (But I *do* enjoy thinking outside the box.)

It's called canceling an article; due to abuse of the function by
various jerks, a lot of sites no longer forward cancel messages.

Which is why some people saw it and were able to respond.

Usually it doesnt unless you do it very quickly after posting and
the news server is a bit slow to move stuff out to the wider usenet.

And once its got out to the wider usenet, past the news server you use,
very few servers honor cancels because they are so often done maliciously.

Uh, nooo. It is folks like you who muck up the Usenet. Crossposters suck
only slightly less than spammers.

I suppose there may have been a spill of some sort. However, if the mattress
needs cleaning because it is just old enough to have accumulated a lot of
dirt, or if it's not that great to begin with, I recommend replacing it.

Thinking it didn't make that much difference, I had slept on various old,
worn-out mattresses my entire life until maybe a month ago, when I finally
splurged and bought a nice, high-quality comfortable mattress. This decision
turns out to have been a time-saver: now when I wake up in the morning, I
no longer feel compelled to spend an extra 10 minutes standing under the hot
water in the shower trying to get my sore/tense muscles to relax. In
retrospect, it seems like I could've figured this out sooner and could
have found mornings slightly less miserable for the last decade or so.

By the way, alt.energy.homepower? What kind of a mattress have you got
there, a solar-powered one?

TOPIC: Update on installing kitchen cabinets from China

Greetings group..

We have installed our kitchen cabinets. But, we are awaiting a few
doors that are back ordered. They look amazing.

Our kitchen is roughly 12 X 12. And the raised panel maple cabinets and
granite counters came in well under 6K.

Yes, it was a lot of money. But, it would have been triple that, at
least, if we went with a contractor.

The cabinets and granite are all from China. But, I heard about this
company and saw their granite products in many houses.

We installed the cabinets ourselves. And, I would not recommend this
for the easily distressed. There were a lot of discrepancies.

A sixteenth of an inch off here, an eighth of in an off there. We had
to do a lot of shimming to get everything to look level [above and
beyond normal shimming for floor level]. The back panel grain went
vertical on some and horizontal on others. I didn't care. But, others
might.

The granite install was perfect [the granite was from China too!]. It
looks lovely. They even did full backsplashes. That came in at $23 a
square foot installed.

Would I recommend cheap China cabinets? Sure. If you install them
yourself. Or if you have a contractor who is used to installing them.
Otherwise, you're going to pay through the nose for the 'pissed off'
factor that there is a little smidgen of problem with each unit. And
that adds time and aggravation.

While looking for some oak stair treads at Home Depot today, I was
amused to see they were all imported from China.

Current Checks merged with Checks Unlimited; I was buying from Current
before the merger. They've kept the service up and my favorite design

Does it really matter? If he wants light, and uses CF bulbs, and gets heat from
his furnace, the net cost is less.

Free copy of "The Bible Promise Book" in King James Version with over ONE
THOUSAND promises from God's word.

Compared to death and taxes, God's promises certainly sound good. But these
eternal words of comfort, love, hope, and peace are better that good. They are
the best news in life. There are over 1000 promises from the Bible arranged in
alphabetical order according to subject, this remarkable little book can be
described in two words. Absolute necessity.
