"...and protect the list from Trolls..." Well, it's nice to know that etree is now considering a "niceness rating" that posts must exceed to be posted to the list. As soon as the official "Nice Policy" of eTree is established, please be sure to add it to the FAQs that newbies don't read anyway, so that it can start being ignored.
I flamed a newbie. The dude asked the LIST HOW TO BURN A CD!! This is not "PCsForMorons.org". This is eTree. It's not Napster. Read, lurk, learn. *Then* post. Please don't waste ELEVEN THOUSAND PEOPLE'S TIME posting questions about how you can burn CDs! We're here to trade tunes. We're not here to tell you how a computer works. It is assumed you have mastered mind-bending concepts like 'The "On" Switch And You', 'Power Cords - Which Color?' and 'Monitors: 15" or 17"?'. You say, "Be nice." I say, "Don't be an idiot." I am certain there are people who don't understand computers well out there, but there are places to ask those questions, and this ain't it. Period. Read a book, take a class, and come back when you're ready. But, the all-time winner for wasting bandwidth in the last month goes to Phil and Gennie (see below), for posting their ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FOUR LINE ascii "art" signature to the digest, not once, but TWICE, in the last digest. Kudos, huzzah, and congratulations for your taking up of 80% of the entire digest with six lines of actual content! You can rest assured there are some etree users around the world now sitting, slack-jawed in stunned reverie, scrolling up and down, muttering, "My God, it's the biggest, bestest ASCII Stealie EVER!" But most are probably thinking, "Why did those folks waste a whole digest with 250 lines of CRAP?!?" Oh, and please don't start this whole banning-people-for-saying-what-they-think thing. Anyone with a brain will be back up with a hotmail account in three minutes flat. My two cents, I'd rather say what I think using my own name than have to hide behind "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", but I will if the eTree "Nice Police" force me to. Think about it. S.
