Cecil, You're taking this rivalry to ludicrous extents. By now it's very clear that you will use any excuse to hit out at GoaNet (and GoaCom, which hosts this mailing-list currently).
By extension, anyone who is even remotely associated with GoaNet will become fair-target. IMHO, you would have been a great humour writer, if only you could keep your personal rivalries and dislikes away from writing. It might have also helped if you had targetted someone really worthy of being targetted, instead of a humour-by-insinuation style meant to take off on those you don't like. You seem to be eager to get this forum caught up in all sorts of irrelevant debates. Let's not waste our time and energies getting caught up in all this typically-Goan infighting; can't we all concentrate our energies onto something positive instead? Just imagine what a difference that could have made.... On the filters, the issue is very clear: filters are a machine-level check to block the possibility of abusive postings from going through. This is a standard procedure used in a number of un-moderated mailing lists. Majordomo and a number of other mainstream software allow for this as part of the package. The rule is -- use foul language, and your post get blocked. Why should we make it easier for anyone to find ways to work-around the filters, and defeat their very purpose? Surely, this is not going to convince you; I don't plan to keep debating endlessly.... FN PS: I've stripped my signature below of my profession or to the job I do... hope that at least makes you happy. Is this a battle for the freedom of expression, or the "freedom" of Expressions? With this small note, I request readers of GoaNet not to remain silent, but to let us know about this. If we on the GoaNetAdmin team are wrong, let us know! But let's keep all this intra-mailinglist and intra-website rivalry out of things.... PPS: I don't have the time, energy or inclination to get caught in this once-in-three-months fatricidal GoaNet-versus-GulfGoans, GoaCom-versys-GoaWorld wars. I've had my say; you can say what you wish... -- Frederick Noronha * Goa * India 832.409490 / 409783 BYTESFORALL www.bytesforall.org * GNU-LINUX http://linuxinindia.pitas.com Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Mobile +9822 122436 (Goa) * Saligao Goa India =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-W-E-B---S-I-T-E-=-=-= To Subscribe/Unsubscribe from GoaNet | http://www.goacom.com/goanet =================================================================== For (un)subscribing or for help, Contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont want so many e=mails?
