I found it both funny and refreshing, mainly because you don't engage in humor very often here and thus it was unexpected. More please. :) > Finally, I would appreciate it if you refrain from munging the > Subject: line when responding to this mailing list.

With all due respect Wietse, the [pfx] tag was already in the subject when I replied to _your_ message, because _you_ left [pfx] in there. It was originally inserted by Charles Gregory. Below layeth the relevant evidence, which apparently you hath misplaced. Additionally, I've checked all my posts in my list archive and every single one has "Re:" at the front of the subject. You hath confused me with another OP: Subject: Re: [pfx] WHAT IS "probe" Mail Delivery Status Report In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> "from Charles Gregory at Apr 24, 2010 09:07:18 am" To: Postfix users <[email protected]> Date: Sat, 24 Apr 2010 09:39:00 -0400 (EDT) Reply-To: Postfix users <[email protected]> From: Wietse Venema <[email protected]> X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL82 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Message-Id: <[email protected]> You apparently missed [pfx] in your reply to Charles; I missed it in my reply to you. However, you are the Wizard of Postfix, and thus should be more attuned to such matters of the realm. I am a lowly Orc OP. Thus, for this unwarranted attack you hath engaged in upon me, I receiveth a +5000 armor bonus, and you receiveth a -2500 attack. I thus gain a +1250 parry deflection defensive counter attack bonus, resulting in your sword gouging a large dent in your +1300 chest plate armor, nearly penetrating it clean through and piercing your blood pumper. Close call eh? ;) Let this be a valuable lesson to all Wizards. Not all Orc OPs are weak defenseless slobbering fools, no matter my appearance. ;) -- Stan
