Re: The Talk2 List Digital Signatures

[Samuel Proulx]

Then how about you get a digital ID, like the rest of us in the 21st century, and not use a mail client that's a complete and utter peace of shit?  The fact that you obviously don't give a damn about the security of your email is not my, or anyone elses, problem.  Your options include using a better mail client, installing software to filter out digital signatures, sucking it up and pushing okay, or writing a script to press okay for you.  Your options do *NOT* include pretending to  be the fucking list administrator when you're obviously not, and trying to tell everyone else how they should send there email, for the exclusive purpose of making you happy.  Oh, and your one-line "read the help" excuse for instructions do not qualify as helpful; if you want other people to solve your problems for you, the least you can do is tell them how.  I disabled digital signatures, exclusively for email to the talk2 list, because Andre asked me to and was willing to help me diagnose the problem, instead of giving off bullshit and aditude, and telling people to disable digital signatures for all there email everywhere, and refusing to tell them how (or eeven explain what digital signatures are or who the problem effects).  A mature way to handle this problem would have been: 1.  contact, privately, the people who's email is giving you issues, with full and complete instructions on how to fix the problem. 2.  sending a copy of this to Andre, and requesting a new rule for the talk2 mailing list, that he could either agree with or not. 3.  Allowing him to inform the list at his disgression.    Your next steps include: 1.  a private apology to Andre for attempting to pass yourself off as some sort of list administrator. 2.  A public apology to the list for the unwanted one line messages, aditude, and spam telling us how to send our email. 3.  A private apology to anyone using digital signatures on this list for being a jerk, and failing to provide adiquit instructions to solve the problem.    One line messages, especially one line messages in defence of an action I already disagree with, really, really, really, really piss me off.    Can we get back to discussing spam, dead braille women, stupidity, and randomness, now?  ----- Original Message ----- From: Drop9 To: talk2 Sent: Sunday, July 16, 2006 5:31 PM Subject: The Talk2 List Digital Signatures I would just like to ask anybody on this list who sends mail that contains Digital id's to disable them please because it makes reading the mail a bit more of a pain and also stops people from easily being able to reply. __________ NOD32 1.1661 (20060714) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com
