It obviously is very noble of you to "help" people even though you have been in "the" field of ah! (pissing off people?) for fourteen years. What is being asked of you is very simple to do. Look at my reply, I took 3 minutes off to: 1. Find out where you had written your reply. 2. *Delete* all the content you had unnecessarily quoted. 3. Hand quoted your reply, since it was one big line. Now, I did this so that when you *do* say something interesting, I will be able to read it and perhaps comment on it and we could have a conversation that could benefit both of us. > like they say the "free" in "FSF" is about freedom and I strongly believe > in it. lets not get bogged down with things like 'list etiquette'. If the free in FSF is about the freedom to be a jerk, you are welcome to be a jerk and I am free to ignore your messages and the moderator is free to ban you from the list. But, Free software is not written by being free to do whatever you like, Its written by collaborating with other people. You can be a useful contributor of this list by following the list guidelines or you can be a jerk. The choice is yours.
