Bass, Dude, we've been polite for a long time, but if *you* keep pushing *your* opinionated view of how the world should be according to *you* down *our* throats, then *you* are asking for profanity, impoliteness, etc. Your intolerance of other opinions, and unwillingness to even accept the possibility of *you* being wrong makes me nauseous! Unfortunately experience shows that every list must have on or two of those at least, but I do not have to like it! Do us a favor and put your money where your mouth is (I believe you've already been challenged to do so for a few times now!) and SET UP A FORUM, LET US KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEN SHUT UP! (BTW: I realize that this post probably reduces my chance to access them to zero, if your moderating is similar to your behavior on this list so far! OTOH I am not sure whether I am really sorry about that at this time!) I could killfile you in either my mailserver, my filter rules or my email client of choice, but your opinionated posts will get to me regardless because good people are wasting bandwidth and time by replying to you (like I am doing now! Not that I am claiming to be one of the good people or experts... I am an * n00b when it comes down to it, but over 20, almost 30 years of Internet use make me think I do have a claim to some experience on that front!) The simple fact: Apparently a majority here disagrees with you!
