Hi folks, Well, a couple of people obviously thought I had nothing better to do than to write a nice little email to the BrailleNote list the other day regarding keeping on topic.
All it takes is the press of a few buttons on my keyboard kids!! Two people will find themselves moderated as a result of their childish mentality on this thread. As I said and I will say it again, IT WON'T BE TOLERATED! The rest of us aren't interested in foolish talk that is quite frankly, off topic on this list. That's why we actually have a thing called a welcome message that has things that they call rules. If you can understand them, you may want to have a little read. Regards, Dean Jackson Humanware Christchurch New Zealand. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Wolfe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 5:13 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Scanner cont. part 2. Neither are you. You are acting liking a conceded jerk. You want to tell people information but, when it comes to their ideals you want to put them down. You suck man. Boooooooo.
