Platte account

Does anyone know how to get rid of the above link to a website? I
inadvertently must have subscribed to it, although I do not remember. I have
erased all the references to it on my PC but it still keeps
coming...Registry Cleaners do not remove it either.

What "above link"?

You posted in HTML, a definite no-no for newsgroups. I don't read
HTML-formatted posts. I only see the plain-text version. When
posting to newsgroups, use plain-text format.

Since you didn't bother to put the URL in your message, I (and others)
cannot see it. Even when I look at the raw source of your post, there
is no URL anywhere in it. And just WHERE is the "link" to the web
site?

Oh, I see, another one of those BT users. No, we are not there
looking over your shoulder to see what you are pointing at.

Re: Platte account

Sorry about the HTML, but the other poster looked at my heading and saw the
'above link' so please forgive and certainly forget.
I suppose the anonimity of usenet makes you little guys ruder than if we
were in the same room?

You are still posting in HTML to this text-only newsgroup. I don't think
you used to do that, so check your settings.

Note that "above link" .. the word *link* normally, in computer/web
speak, refers to a URL/URI, such as: http://example.com/something
The words "Platte account" contains no link and is ambiguous.

You're welcome in my room anytime, Quilly, and I'll talk the same as I
type here.

"Platte account" is not a URL or a link. Doesn't even qualify as a
sentence and is only to be used to introduce the topic of your message
(and it certainly is not a link). "Not at home" is a very appropriate
moniker.

"an icon placed by a virus"??

Somebody (Quilly?) has to update their AV software and do a careful scan,
then repeat the same with an antimalware program or 2!

No, I assure you, I'm the same in real life as I am here.
If I'm rude to you here, rest assured, I'd be rude in person as well.
