Thom: Sorry you have to deal with the impolite folks. I know that there are a lot of us on this list--by far, the vast majority--who appreciate this list and think it's a great resource. Unfortunately, there are thoughtless, impolite people out there, too. Their behavior just reflects that they're unhappy with life. Thank you for all the hard work you do! 73, Tony N3WAK In a message dated 2/2/2013 12:00:44 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, drakelist-requ...@zerobeat.net writes:

The impolite folks (Thom LaCosta) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2013 16:46:53 -0500 From: Thom LaCosta <k3...@zerobeat.net> To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Subject: [Drakelist] The impolite folks Message-ID: <mailman.4.1359824403.25880.drakel...@zerobeat.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed Every now and again folks get upset when they get the monthly reminder email and they see a password. Most folks understand why it happens, so it's no big deal. Today, I got an email from one of the hotheads on the list. I have not shown his email or call sign....but I wanted to share some of the bright spots in the day: Subject: Re: zerobeat.net mailing list memberships reminder At 09:58 AM 2/1/2013, you wrote: >Kinda stupid sending my password in a e-mail. What are you thinking? >Are you even thinking? Thanks for the insulting message.....the software send your password..... I'll unsubscribe you, since I don't need the insults. No reply is expected or solicited. Common instructions you neglected to read: Once a month, you will get an email containing a password reminder for every list at this host to which you are subscribed. You can turn this off on a per-list basis by selecting <em>No</em> for this option. If you turn off password reminders for all the lists you are subscribed to, no reminder email will be sent to you. When you signed up for the list, this message was displayed: You may enter a privacy password below. This provides only mild security, but should prevent others from messing with your subscription. Do not use a valuable password as it will occasionally be emailed back to you in cleartext. So, using the same polite mode you did: Don;t you read instructions? Do you know how to read? If you don;t waste your time with impolite ops...drop me a line and I'll tell you who to avoid. 73, Thom k3hrn ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist End of Drakelist Digest, Vol 56, Issue 1 ****************************************
