Hello Cees, Thursday, January 20, 2005, 2:01:12 PM, you wrote: C> no....... why should I?
Let's see. (for reference, please read the welcome message you were sent when you subscribed). 1. You are violating section "G" of the list rules which state that you sig should be about 4-6 lines. Yours is 13 lines. But, I wasn't even modding you on your sig length, only that you should remove the cutmark between your main sig and the AVG message. I usually don't mod much on sig lengths unless it's really excessive 2. Certifying an outgoing message as virus free is pretty irrelevant. There isn't a single anti-virus application out there that catches all viruses. Especially if it's a brand new virus. Therefore, telling the recipient that your message is virus free instills a false sense of security. However, to be honest, I really don't care if you include it or not, that's not why I mentioned what I did. However, by including it, you add three lines to your sig not to mention the three blank lines before it plus the line with the redundant sig delimiter.. A total of seven lines you *could* remove which would bring your signature to within list rules. C> apparently it does. why is that my fault? I'd say that The Bat! C> should handle this particular issue in a different way. As do most C> emailprograms as I remember.... You'll get no argument from me that TheBat should handle it better. However it doesn't and that's why *you* need to take care of it. This is the point and only the point I was modding you on. This also falls under list rule "G". C> Secondly........ I've been waiting to answer you ... I certainly do appreciate it. However, as moderators, we never take off the asbestos suits. :-) C> because I had to calm down. BECAUSE I think you are nitpicking!!! There's nothing nitpicky about it. They *are* the list rules which have been around since 1996/97 and revised over the years as needed. They are neither antiquidated nor irrelevant as they follow common Netiquette guidelines which also have been around for ages and are revised accordingly. C> Is this ALL that is bothering you? I'd say that the way people C> address each other is a way more important item to follow. And C> please don't come with the argument of message sizes. Primarily it's messy. When someone replies to your messages, they must manually cut out your topmost signature. Don't you think it's kind of rude to force people who wish to follow list rules about trimming their replies by making them fix something *every* single time which you could fix just *once* by removing three characters from above the AVG message. And as much as you may not want to believe it, there have been and still are (as far as I know) people subscribed to TB lists who do pay for their bandwidth by the byte/KB. At any rate, the point is that you are violating list rules. I didn't even send you an official moderation message as you were doing most of it right. To show you why the cutmark issue is important, I did not remove your sig manually, so below is what everyone who replies to your messages has to cut out by hand.
