i am sorry if i offended maddawg but there are many subscribers getting fluxlist in digest or are on limited time on their internet service so for them to have to delete 55 one line posts is a real problem. for myself it was just irritating and the holidays don't help that. so just saying 'use the delete' is rather cavalier.
when i work with the high school computer group here in taos i post a page callled netiquette but i have been under the impression that even if someone was still in high school their being interested in this list would indicate a certain amount of sophistication. and also i'm not the one who is the administrator, who by the way has my full supposrt in all he has done with this sorry mess.
enough already, carol
on to the box!

that is positive that he sent to the list that is not in some way
self-promotion, self-obsession. He called you boring. You are not boring. He
is bored. There is a difference. He has so very little grace in his
writings, so little generosity, so little curiosity about anyone different
from him, at least as evidenced in his contributions to this list.
