since my initial post to this thread, i have had a private exchange
with list nanny Paul Stamsen. i have been accused, because of my
post, of being rude and lacking common courtesy. to that i say that
when individuals post a response containing one single sentence which
actually contributes to an ongoing discussion, but feel the need to
append dozens of lines of useless garbage, and do this over and over
and over, for example:

i find THESE to be the height of hubris, discourtesy, and rudeness.
"Help bunny take over the world!"??? REALLY??? after being forced to
scroll past that 100 times, no one else finds it childish and inane?
“When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I
thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish
things”
equally rude are the needlessly long professional sig files. it's
like saying, "here, the price for my tidbit of wisdom is that you have
to be incessantly reminded of my exalted position." that's not rude?
yet i am being accused of being rude for calling childishness and self-
serving vanity what they are? methinks some of you have no clue what
constitutes rude and discourteous.
"Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth."
"Charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up."
since ATTACHED files are prohibited, perhaps it's time for all
APPENDED files to be prohibited as well, since some folks can't seem
to restrain themselves from abusing the practice.
and for the record, ALL of the example sig files i quoted above DO
violate the list rules. go read 'em yourself, if you don't believe
me.
