> So your best bet is to stop posting. Ah, good! Without a single personal attack, and without a single defamatory word about TB! This is officially my second unfortunate invitation to stop posting here. Thanks, so very much.
The view of e-mail with the "fuzzy-wuzzy" glasses removed is quite different from my side, wanna see? No? Fine. If I told you not to eat that apple because there was a worm visible to me, you could either take my word for it and have eyes in two places, or disregard my comment and discover the worm for yourself after biting into it. Your comment suggests you don't want to see anything but the good side. Being a Pollyanna is one thing. Rejecting valid input is another. As I said in another post, when a list moderator invites me to leave, I will--without fuss.

Excuse me? What did you just say? If spam filtering and privacy protection are not part of what's perceived to be "essentials" here, then I clearly misunderstand what TB! and its filtering methods are about. So what, I should praise this wonderful thing called e-mail? Get serious, young fellow. > I bet here're not many people subscribed that like spam and even lesser > that try to provoke increase in spam in anybodys inbox, so a smart > _hint_ (in opposite to a rough rant) should be enough in most cases. > This explicitely excludes, of course, repeating offenders but I'm still > about to see such here ... In the real world a smart _hint_ will reach those thinking individuals who carefully read, can understand the spirit of the author, and can walk away without throwing stones or inviting him/her to simply leave. For the majority of busy folk, the message needs to be repeated. -- Regards, Mike Using The Bat! v1.62q on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
