Tynk,
Take you own advice, or even better use your killfile. Since I placed her

Don,
I wish I could reply to her via email. Trust me, I've tried.
It doesn't go through.
The only reason I even bother is because of all the newbies out there
who may take the false or incomplete info she gives out and think it's
correct. By the time something goes wrong, they wouldn't know what
caused it or who told them what.
Newbies are bombarded with all sorts of things they are told...whether
wrong or right, they are hit like a ton of bricks and their heads are
left spinning.
You see, when somebody says something that isn't right, and a bunch of
others correct them, then they can assume who's got the right info for
them.
It's like having too much compassion for the newbies in the hobby.

I understand and appreciate why you are doing it, but there comes a point of
diminishing returns if it just sounds like the two of you are arguing (and
admittedly I'm no innocent, I've been involved in flame wars that could melt
diamonds). Anyone just stumbling upon the group at that time wouldn't know
which one was the credible party.
If you don't want to ignore her bad advice, countering it with the truth (as
you do) is fine. But you will do your frustration level a big favor by
ignoring her rants.
I pretty much had her pegged after reading no more then 4 of her posts, so I
think you will find that new readers of the group might not have as much
trouble as you think doing the same. One of the main caveats of USENET has
always been to read a group for a while before posting so as to figure out
the mores and morays (pun intended) of the group, and, by extrapolation,
figure out who are the signal producers and who are just the ******s that
produce noise.
Best,
Don
