Yeah, I responded to Joel at the time and... I think he missed the target on this one. Postel essentially says "Forgive your brother as you would ask to be forgiven, and do your best." Who can argue with that? Someone posts a quick answer to a post and doesn't change the subject, you chide him. Especially if his answer is right. She does it again, you make fun of her. He does it a third time, you remind him not to do it agin. She does it a fourth time, you twit-filter her. It's not that big a deal. It's better to put up with 100 mis-subjected messages than to miss one right answer, by my measure. If _you_ don't like that, you can twit-filter all messages where you don't like the subject line. But I think it's over-reaching do to it to me. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
