I apologize.  I should have waited until I was less annoyed to reply,
rather than risk escalating the rudeness.  Trying to give a mailing
list etiquette lesson in a single curt paragraph was, in hindsight, a
bad idea.

I will assume, in turn, that had you not made a similar mistake, you
would have already apologized for copying and pasting an
already-answered question, for sending three copies of it to several
people, and for attempting to deflect attention from this behavior
with a series of unfounded personal insults.

Nevertheless, even after such an apology, I'm afraid I may not be
answering further questions from you.  This isn't because I don't
often helpfully answer libMesh questions, as even a cursory perusal of
the mailing list archives would have shown you, but because the
communication barrier seems to be great enough that I would fear
causing more offense in any effort to help you.

I also apologize to other list readers for the junk filling your
inboxes today; I tried to avoid this by sending my last netiquette
complaint privately, but as you can see, it didn't help.
