Why the rude behavior ?

I think you introduced your self as a "rube" was it ? The vocabulary says
"is not ... as a ...." (Clueless ? Here's a nickel someone gave me, you can
have it back ! )

[ I assume you did not distinguish the meaning is a built in ethernet as
opposed to an external plug in wireless modem card given as an example - as
there are printers and mobile computers and side drives and on and on which
*are* external devices engaged via USB Ports (and Card Slots) and are the
general accepted definition of *peripherals* which is to state the general
accepted understanding of "peripheral" and computers are devices and gizmos
and fun things that you can plug into a computer through the USB Port (or
Card Slot) to interact with it for down right fun and productivity . This is
probably what you mean a "rube" would miss, or could not comprehend, or was
blinded in some rush to judgment to play flaming fun at groups and lists -
what you may say a "rube " would miss in an intelligent, intellectual, or
otherwise simple conversation between computer operators/users. Your excuse
? Just nevermind... you are not the type person I wish to converse with
online. Too immature and impolite to interact. If you have been online that
long then you know very very very well not to have engaged this nonsense
that you have so easily done so. The deed is done. Perhaps you need to
attend a Netiquette Refresher Course I would recommend. ]

Your flames to date unattended by Moderation.....
[When escalated, I guess someone gets banned. Good bye I will not answer the
garbage trolling flame war you started via Personal Attack - apparently
having tried to socially engineer me into one in a very immature way. Your
war just ended HERE. You want the victor's flag - take it then. You win. I
left a loser hun.

# "...Here's a nickel kid go buy yourself a clue...."

I thought such Personal Attacks were not allowed by Yahoo Group Owners !

HOW RUDE ! ! ! To a new member ! ! ! (might have been here a couple weeks
now.)
