I do not know how to set up my out look email what should I do?

This one ought to get a good (cruel) wisecrack from Milly.

Check the web site for the company that you get your Internet access and email from. They should have those instructions for you.

Not for the OP, but you will.

Why did you not provide the information, readily accessible (contact ISP for
instructions) but lurk quietly waiting for a response over which you were
salivating.? Really, anyone can provide assistance - I find your lack of
forthrightness downright despicable, rather than baiting the readers waiting
for a response from me. Had you done so, the OP would probably had their
mail up and running hours earlier.

Sheesh!!!! Go crawl back under your bridge.

Just a timing issue. I have no doubt had you been the first responder it
would have been you who would have been despicable; mocking and reviling the
OP for such a question. I see it so often. Milly Staples, repeatedly Most
Vile Personage.

I "troll" (to move around, ramble; to fish by trailing a lure) (rather than
a grumpy character of fairy tale) this forum for information and am oft
appalled by the pleasure you seem to take in denigrating people.

I'm perversely fascinating by a character such as you who seems to delight
in lording your knowledge over those with less with often your own
despicable responses.

I confess that I placed my criticism of you in the wrong place. Better I
just bear witness to your bad behavior directly in those threads within
which you perform it far to often; but it occurred to me that my predictive
observation about your potential response might even defuse this situation,
but we'll not know because you didn't have the chance to get to get your
licks in first.

Milly certainly needs no defense from a flame thrower, and I'll offer none.
But your angry comments convey a misunderstanding of public newsgroups and
how they work that I'd like you to consider.



Public newsgroups are not PSS. PSS is used by customers who want to exercise
their support options to speak to a paid professional about a problem.
Public newsgroups are used by end users who want to try to figure out a
problem on their own by asking peers to offer suggestions. The procedures
and conventions of public newsgroups are completely different than PSS and
are well documented:

http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm

When those conventions are followed, public newsgroups work well. Users post
clearly framed questions that convey both the problem and their level of
understanding of that problem so someone else can help them with a short
return post. When posts convey none of that information, things break down.
The easiest thing to do is just ignore such posts, but that just results in
an angry, insulting repeat post a few hours later.



In my world PSS is similar to the way we interact with patients while public
newsgroups are similar to the ways we interact with medical students,
interns, and residents. When an intern asks me a question that is unclear
and displays a lack of understanding of the fundamental principles involved
in solving a problem, I do not patiently spoon feed him or her an answer
(nor would you want me to). Instead, I challenge the questioner to go back
and learn the principles involved and to reframe a coherent question they
can then solve on their own when I'm not around. That's the way we all
learned what we need to know.



I do the same thing when I post here. Add to that a sense of humor that has
an edge to it but that is rarely conveyed correctly in the sterility of
typed words, and people are forever busting my chops over being rude or
impatient. It just goes with the territory.

Stepping down to the poster's level - I know, I really shouldn't

So, please find a response from me to a poster who asks how to set up their
mail where I revile them, call them names, or otherwise speak down to them.

Can't do it? Here, let me help you out:

Russ, I've read many posting made by you and have never found you to be
rude or unpleasant and certainly never have found you to even approach
cruelty.
I understand about this being a public newsgroup. I know how newsgroups
work, but participating a public newsgroup doesn't give one permission to be
mean-spirited and to hurl insults at people just because they may not be as
informed as someone else. I also understand about the difficulty of
conveying humour and irony in written text although a guy like Mark Twain -
to posit just one example - did pretty well.

Milly Staples is obviously very well informed. I've remarked on that before.
She is also often quite rude and unpleasant even when she is imparting her
wisdom to the troubled, head scratching masses, but worse yet she is also
quite cruel and hurtful far too often as well. Just because someone is
intelligent and more informed doesn't not grant one permission to be mean
and hurtful to anyone. I find cruelty unacceptable under any circumstances
and I find that those who resort to it are demished by it far more than
those who are the target of such cruelty. It's been my experience reading
this forum for quite a while that Milly runs the habit of descending into
cruelty on a regular basis. I guess I am so aware of this that it was the
first thing that popped into my head when I read the beginning post in this
thread; believing it to be just the kind of thing (well...one of many) that
usually unleashes Milly's ire.

Milly may not have been unpleasant or cruel while reviling anyone posting a
question about setting up a mail account in Outlook but she has certainly
been cruel dealing with other subjects. I believe it is important to shine a
light on such behavior and as I wrote previously, my mistake was to have
made any reference to it prior to her doing so. I'll not respond to Milly's
"defense" in this post directly, but rather let this stand as that assuming
she'll read this.

Pathetic.

Those who can, help, Those who can't, complain.

Why should anyone take you serious? You do what everyone who has
launched a personal attack on any of the regular responders here
(including the one who called me a jerk) does, namely post anonymously.
Yet, none of those attacked responders hide their identity. In contrast,
many of us provide links to our websites directly in our posts, or at
the very least our full real names that can be easily used to look up
real life information about us (in Milly's case, just look up her MVP
profile).
If you have a problem with the way anyone posts here, say so using your
real name and email address. If you don't have the guts to do that, then
just keep your mouth shut.
