Wow, what a long thread ... about nothing. You always have the option of reading the list as a newsgroup. (Which I'm happily doing right now from Outlook Express :) )
And hey, I'm not using Outlook because somebody made me. For my money, it's just the easiest mail/news reader out there. -lw ""Mynsted, Mark A."" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... That's cool with me. My points are: 1. Outlook is not my email client of choice. I am forced to use it. My client of choice is Gnus. 2. I still want to post to this group. 3. I now understand that you are not proposing that I be prevented from posting to this group. Thank you. :-) > -----Original Message----- > From: Brad O'Hearne [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2001 12:35 PM > To: Mynsted, Mark A. > Cc: Paul Kinnucan; JDE > Subject: Re: MAILING LIST GARBAGE > > > I think people have mistaken my curiosity for a proposal.
