It is not duly respectful to anyone to use language such as you have
in posted, professional discourse, irrespective of the comments or
opinion of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Her/his opinion is that top
posting is the only appropriate method. Thus, there are differences
of opinion.
i am long past the point of giving a crap about "differences of
opinion" with respect to mailing lists. there is a right way to
participate in such mailing lists -- if you want to know what that way
is, "google" is your friend. and, seriously, if anyone still hasn't
figured out basic mailing list etiquette, they're not ready to
participate in such lists.

swill on a mailing list somewhere)
Mr. Day, this is not the Ubuntu list. Your civility has suffered
from over exposure to some of the worst examples of human discourse
in the known universe.
We would all really appreciate a return to civility.
This is NOT a list for "mailing list etiquette" nonsense from
adolescent anal retentive creeps.
Adults shrug and adapt. Children whine. Please grow up.
