Re[2]: Steve Lamb has left the building

2000-09-17 Thread Soth

MDP As  Allie  just  said  to me in private: "I strongly believe that this
MDP will be a turning point for the list. A thousand years of peace. :-)".
MDP We shall see.

 This is indeed a pity, despite his abrasive style SL definitely made
 some valuable contributions to the list, I for one am sorry to see him
 go.

Most would probably call me a lurker since I don't really post all that
often...  even so, I'd like to say that I don't buy the "misunderstood
genius" bit or the "this is how I am, deal" thing...  I'm glad to see
that Marck has done what's needed doing.  Something we should all strive
to remember... There are NO dumb questions, or dumb opinions.  (Just
mis-informed.)

Re[2]: Steve Lamb has left the building

2000-09-17 Thread Mark R Harding

A.,

Regarding your message dated: 18 September 2000...

ACM It's a ban on both.

Just out of interest - I assume that any ban is made against the
subscriber's email address and therefore there would be little to stop
a banned individual from re-subscribing under another alias thanks to
the anonymity the net provides.

Naturally, if someone were to do this then either they would need to
modify their behaviour to avoid an equally quick second departure
which might be to the benefit of the list (or not?) but I guess what I
am asking is that if someone really wants on to the list there's
probably little that can be done to prevent it.

My only thought against the above would be if a ban were also placed
on specific IP addresses if the banned party were known to have static
addresses that identified them uniquely and even then it wouldn't be
too hard to circumvent.

I suppose one has to just trust that the party that has been removed
from the group list 'honours' that ban and does not attempt to gain
entry by other means.

Just thinking aloud given the immediate 'candid' responses in case
anyone might have considered 'talking ill of the dead' so to speak...

Mark.

Hello Nick,

With the people I work with, that is the truest statement I have read
in quite some time. And in regards to the time element. Dang, that's
fast. For those that care... Yeah ok. My full time job is in DC, so
that statement reminded me of all of the minions going around trying
to come up with an excuse for that after the fact. ROFL
