Well, LART is an acronym for Luser Attitude Readjustment Tool(preferably
something large and very heavy). I've seen this used quite frequently on the
a.t.s.r newsgroup. This newsgroup is for Bobs and ex-Bobs that are
recovering. A 'Bob' is a person that is in the tech-support field. For
example, a lart would be applied by a Bob if a customer called to complain
that they couldn't get to www.<whatever>.com and expected the Bob to fix it.
Yes, the shop-talk that goes on between Bobs isn't very kind to the
customers. I know, I was a Bob at one time. I'm still recovering.
When I test an e-mailer, I usually just send an e-mail to myself and see what
it comes back as. I've noticed that in Netscape Messenger you can tell quite
quickly if someone has the line length set correctly or is sending in html
verses sending in text with a line length of less than 80 characters.
If you are leaving this list, I'm unsure why. You do contribute to the group
and various discussions going on. I hope that you decide to stay and
continue to do so.
