Your sarcasm is uncalled for, Erik -- Michael is making a valid point here. Mark is engaging in trolling and is not contributing anything constructive to any discussion on this list; he does not appear to be interested in any real discussion, but only in trolling. He is even offensive in some of his posts, and his overall behaviour is such that if Brin-L were a Real-Life debating forum instead of an on-line one, he would have been sent away weeks ago. Mark reappeared on April 15th 2002. Since then, a total of 3,224 messages have been posted to this list, 317 of which were Mark's. That means that 9.8% of all messages since April 15th have been trolls. Now, I can accept an occassional troll, but when almost 10% of list traffic is made up of trolling messages by one single poster, I think it is time to put an end to it. From the looks of it, his trolling is getting worse by the week: Week Posts 16 2 17 2 18 29 19 67 20 93 21 91 22 33 (in less than two days, so possibly >100 this week) Jeroen _________________________________________________________________________ Wonderful World of Brin-L Website: http://www.Brin-L.com Tom's Photo Gallery: http://tom.vanbaardwijk.com
