You did mention my name you copied my signature or perhaps you didn't realize that had my name in it. You attacked my competence in a post that had nothing to do with the list other then an attempt to flame me. You where not constructive nor where you giving advise. You where complaining about having to "do my work so that I could get paid for it" or maybe you where complaining about your 6th sense in assuming I had not read the man pages. Your post did nothing not one thing other then attack me. You don't have to answer my questions when I post them.
I used "colorful" language because I was/am mad. This is the last message I am posting to this group an this subject matter. If you have something to say to me email me. Although it probably wont be as much fun for you. Why should I adjust my sig for this list. Does it bother you that much. Does the signature mean anything beyond the scope of who I am. WHICH IS A NETWORK ADMIN FOR PEL SUPPLY and how to contact me. Quote i am not an ASS, if you want to call me that please do it on some or other newsgroup where that is normal practice, that is not how we work here. Amazing your flame me and attack for no other reason then to just be mean. Read you original mail it was not about anything but you picking on me. Then you try and act like I am out of line for responding. Because you didn't swear your where not out of line. What ever. I have better things to do then let some stranger agitate me. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of pa3gcu Sent: Monday, September 30, 2002 4:53 PM To: Paul Kraus; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Tar Backups On Monday 30 September 2002 20:35, Paul Kraus wrote: > First of all I am not a UNIX or Linux admin.

Most of the time you ask a question without asking what you really want, Ray has asked you before to try and explain what you want in more detail, you are getting beter at that, i was not being cheaky and i do not need to impress folks here nor do i need to do it on other list's whaere i answer mails. I did not use strong words in my mail and i did not mention your name, Paul, simply slow down and explain your situation more when asking questions, and you may want to readjust you sig, for this list at least. No i am not an ASS, if you want to call me that please do it on some or other newsgroup where that is normal practice, that is not how we work here.
