I must disagree with this. Off-list offenses are a private matter between the sender and the recipient, and therefore it is for the recipient (and only the recipient) to decide how to deal with it (kill-filing, flaming back, filing an abuse report with the offender's ISP). As an off-list offense by definition does not take place on-list, it is not for the listowners or the community as a whole to punish the offender.Formal statements of apology or reformed intent should not be required for mere on-list etiquette offenses, at least not for first or second offenses. (Off-list offenses that go beyond breaches of etiquette may be quite another matter, however.)
As someone who gets paid to solve problems that are related to M$ Windows, I can assure you that doing the exact same thing over and over again actually does quite often produce different results. :-)(Attempting the same thing over and over again while expecting different results is the definition of insanity, someone said.)
Guess I just admitted to being insane... :-)
