Date: Sat, 25 Aug 2007 23:04:18 -0400 Paul, during the course of my professional workday I read and adhere to more guidelines than you likely ever have seen. In my personal Internet life, I also try to stay on-topic, adhere to the spirit of whata list is supposed to represent, and point out clear abuse when it hyappens. What I also believe, sir, is that after my death I will not be judged according to whether I strictly adhered to the rules of a listserv. I will be judged according to the standards I upheld in life for treating people with basic human respect, dignity, and compassion in their hour of need. I understand flagrant and repeated abuse of list privileges and other guidelines is wrong. But for anyone who chooses to make a big deal about a small tendency in someone else that results only in some aannoyance, I strongly advise that you stop sweating the small stuff and get a life. Out of respect to the guidelines and topical areas stressed by this group, and out of respect to the time of other members who don't want a flame war about this, this is the last I will say about such matters. Feel free to get in the last word if your sense of manliness demands it. Otherwise, good night. -Kane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Louden" <paulthenerd_at_gmail.com> To: "Rockbox" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Saturday, August 25, 2007 10:09 PM Subject: Re: Please explain! > > It's a lot easier and > > more humble to simply hit DELETE and not gripe, > > And it's a lot more polite to follow the guidelines for a list when you > post on it, instead of ignoring them.
