In Joseph's mind, he is performing a service. He is taking the role of the
curmudgeon here that lets people know when they do things that degradate the
list, in order to make the list better. In that role, he is taking the heat
on himself from people like you that will be upset because he isn't being
"nice". I don't like the pollution on the list and get aggravated by people
that are lazy as well, so I see what Joseph is doing as necessary. At least
he's still answering the question, to his credit.
Inevitably though, this is an ecosystem out here, a microcosm of society and
there will be all types. Let's just keep that in mind and deal with all of
them as best we can and not generate another thousand messages/flames at
each other every time this happens. It always has and it always will. By
educating people, perhaps Joseph will cut it down and this will stay as
on-topic and enjoyable as others (Struts). Some people don't know what
they've done wrong until Joseph steps in - for example the guy who replied
to one message but changed the subject line to create what he thought was a
new thread. It isn't, it's an off -thread message inserted into the original
one and that upsets people who have threaded readers. Now maybe he knows and
won't do it again.
