I've tried very hard to ignore this whole, stupid thread. And I really do not want to contribute to its length. But I think my contract allows me one post per year. :)
One fact remains blatantly obvious to me. There really was NO PROBLEM until msleeper posted his usual sarcastic comment "and how is this pertinent to this list?" (I'm paraphrasing his original e-mail.) Granted, perhaps the topic of discussion didn't exactly fit the guidelines perfectly, but so what? I was learning something by reading and it was far more interesting than the subsequent bickering that has ensued. I submit that if msleeper had not tried to play "mailing list police", like he always does, the topic would have ended quickly and no one would be terribly upset. I doubt very much anyone would have left the mailing list just because they had to "endure" a few more e-mail exchanges between people that were helping each other. It really wasn't a big deal! Msleeper, can you please just learn to ignore threads that you're not interested in, instead of always trying to moderate the mailing list? Your constant critiques of whether or not a post meets your approval do more harm than good. Life goes on just fine, even if someone happens to stray a little off topic. Please just keep your keen "off topic" observations to yourself. Until this list has a true moderator with clear editing instructions, this list is simply not going to be perfect. Please stop pointing out to the whole group every time it isn't perfect.

Get over it, this is a list dedicated to server OPs, you're not moderating it and even if you keep flaming people will still post things *you* think are OT.
