Just cause you wrote something down and it sounds one way in your head doesn't meant that it will sound the same way on the other end. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:bounce-exchange-97309@;ls.swynk.com] On Behalf Of Chris Scharff Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 1:02 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: RBL's I guess the #include humor.h module wasn't loaded for you this morning. I'd suggest that the spelling remark was only rude to a subset of the 32% of admins who actually could spell RBL and thus understood the barb. As a journalism major, with an English minor I am quite concerned about any grammatical errors I might have made in the comment you are referring to. Would you please be so kind as to point out my grammar errors so that I might endeavor to eliminate them from my future postings? Now, as to your point that my statement that of the 32% of mail administrators who can spell RBL many are unable to comprehend the implications of it: I've made more than 8,000 replies in various public forums in the last 12 months. I've read over 50,000 threads during that same period. It's been a relatively slow year for me, but even if we take those low water numbers back 4 years it's still a fairly substantial number of administrators and posts that I've encountered. Based on that vast experience with and exposure to mail administrators around the world, I find it highly likely that 16% or more of mail administrators don't understand fully the implications of the RBL technology they are using and or advocating. It has nothing to do with being smart or dumb. It has to do with being knowledgeable about a particular issue or technology. My comments were not directed at any particular individual user on this list and were more accurately a diatribe against the technology than those who choose to implement it. I'm sorry you chose to misinterpret my comments. > -----Original Message----- > From: Walsh, Ric [mailto:Walshr@;national-citymortgage.com] > Sent: Monday, November 04, 2002 1:52 PM > To: Exchange Discussions > > Ok your "spelling" remark was rude to all of us. > > You following remark despite it's poor grammar seems to say that the > rest of us are dumber that you.
