Hey CJ and Mark, Thanks for your kind words. In terms of his treatment of me, it didn't bother me over much. Honestly, after the first couple of messages, I stopped reading them, so if I was vilely abused after that, I didn't even know it. :) As much as anything, I just wanted all this to stop cluttering up my inbox.
I do think that the list should have a publicly identifiable mod, not because I want any changes. As others have pointed out, this community generally functions remarkably well. this list stays pretty much on topic and people are almost always respectful of one another. But whether Mario is a jerk, is someone who went off his meds, or was simply hacked, these things do come up from time to time. and when they do, it's good to have somebody, or a couple somebodys, who can deal with those situations. Just my $.02. And now, looking forward to getting back to talking about the Mac! :) Cheers, Donna > On Mar 29, 2015, at 10:22 PM, Christopher-Mark Gilland > <[email protected]> wrote: > > Donna, > > You, too, have my support and encouragement.
