Michael Lewis exploded:
Geez, louise, you're rude. Can you tone it down a bit, please? It's
really getting tiresome when you jump all over a person's case for
stating a personal preference as if it is some personal attack on you or
something. I didn't see anything in Lane's post that said you need to
do this or everyone needs to do that -- he wrote I throughout it.
So what?
The next time you want to comment on someone's personal preferences or
blast them for offering up a way they work around a particular issue or
bug while we wait for CTM to change or fix it --- don't.
I didn't comment on a personal preference, but on the attitude shared
by a few individuals on this list that _their_ preferences should be the
norm. I really feel, on the contrary, that many users differing
preferences could and can coexist in PowerMail.
If you feel different, that's your prerogative. But I also have the
right to differ in opinion.
Hit the close
window and Don't Save buttons. Then, instead, if it is still
important, write it from your point of view. I could care less if you
think we're all idiots and treat us as such by figuratively rolling up
your eyes, calling us childish, and telling us to join other cults.
I called the attitude childish, not the person. There's a significant
difference.
And there's no need to make yourself a spokeperson for everyone else. Us?
I do not think people on this list are idiots. I think all of us must
have some greatness about themselves as we have choosen the same great
email app.
But the attitude that PowerMail shouldn't be usable for mere mortals or
we're getting another client, is what is _really_ tiresome. My point is
that email is changing. As long as the no-HTML-please-we're-british
crowd is catered for, then I don't see the danger of supporting the
needs of other groups as well.
Though I don't see HTML-composing in the future of PowerMail any tie soon.
And, yes I can tone it down nevertheless. There's no need for making
people angry for the sake of it. My apologies.
