Carmen,
:(
Firstly, that is an ultimately useless email that doesn't say anything that we would remotely be interested in. It just says you're either sad, sulking or looking for sympathy.
Secondly, Why do you keep putting your message as another level of quote?!

Do you really think a 10 year old is going to go to some site and read about
netiquette and tolerated list behaviours ? Would you at that age ?
I don't care whether Carmen is 10 or 100 years old, the point remains
that most of his emails are just bordering on spam. I am also slightly
annoyed by the noise generated on this list the last couple of days,
and your questions at this point seem just asking for more. And
whatever soft spots we might or might not have for kids his age, I
don't think it's a good idea to turn this list into proving ground for
Carmen.
It's got nothing to do with turning it into a proving ground. My questions
were simply an attempt to draw Carmen into a productive discussion - and
teach him how to engage in appropriate netiquette along the way. How is
that wrong ?
If he's a troll - so be it - he'll get bored and move on but attacking each
other is not going to help matters. That's what trolls thrive on. Don't
make any more complaints about his spam or noise or whatever else you feel
he's doing to bother you and hit the delete key.
If he's legit, he will eventually learn to participate more appropriately in
these types of discussion forums with some tolerance and assistance from the
adults here.

Thirdly, did you _really_ need to quote _all_ that for what is "ultimately useless email that doesn't say anything"... your message has nothing to do with what you've quoted, and what you've quoted has nothing to do with your message! Leave it out.

Fourthly, don't quote the footer! We all know what it says!
In my opinion, by all means stay on the list, but _please!_ refrain from posting, do not post, restrain your posts, that posting thing that everyone else does, don't do it.
If anyone else wants to give that advice in simpler words/other languages then please do.
