I just got more noise from your last two stupid comments than we probably
average in a week from OE users.
I caution all of you to avoid this callous and ridiculous attitude. Banning
e-mail clients because of technical reasons that endanger the list is one
thing, but doing it because the users "dont know anything" is one of the
most ridiculous statements I've ever heard. Some people work at jobs where
they have to use whatever MUA they're told to use. Some just like one MUA or
another because of its flaws. Your arrogance and self righteousness
certainly has no place in this world. You should be just plain embarassed
about your comments, but my guess is you aren't. My guess is you will tell
me how stupid I am and how little I know just because I decided to not take
your side. My guess is you won't see anything wrong with assuming that
basically every Windows user is stupid. Your loss. I think many of you would
benefit from some self reflection and come down off your high horses. Life
is too short for contrived, shitty, self-made conflicts.
At least, if you're going to carry your opinion of overwhelming ignorance,
keep it off the list. Like OE worms/viruses and "stupid users" who don't
make "witty or helpful comments", your comment has no business on a QMail
list.
