Subject: Private rant -- do not repost to the lists unless you want a fight.
Jim --
You are an arrogant ass and I'm sick of your whining for the past year.
Host your own list if you want -- but do not dare accuse me of dishonesty.
If I want to fight you will know it and you will feel it. You can be sure
that I will not be playing petty childish games, such as deleting people
from an open list. Everyone on this list knows my tactics -- subtlety is not
among them.
Tips for a happy life:
1. Grow up and participate in reality.
2. Do not insult people on a public list. They will respond publicly. I
did you the courtesy of not posting this publicly.
Let's end this here, ok?
-- Andy
P.S. You are and always have been subscribed to the list as [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Maybe you should check your address.

Fix the problems, but this explanation doesn't wash. My ISP is run by
me and I see every message rejected by our mail servers. We have not
been bouncing email messages for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; there have
been no such messages. I believe that Richard Sexton, also dropped from
the list, is his own ISP.

I sent email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to try to resolve this problem
ten days ago. It bounced. I also tried [EMAIL PROTECTED] That
came back "unknown user". I know that other people had the same
experience.

These problems have been going on for three weeks now. If they are
being solved now, that's fine. But expect criticism and suspicion when
things go this badly wrong.
