The "masters" find enjoyment in berating and personally attacking readers of the list. I wouldn't put it past some or the "masters" to actually look somebody up and either A) call a list member's employer to complain, or B) personally attack (verbally) in real life over the phone, via snail mail, etc. > This list is still useful but there is a lot of unprofessionalism that goes on that has nothing to do with my 'cynicalgeek' email address not using my real name. > > On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 10:37 AM, Jonathan Link <jonathan.l...@gmail.com> wrote: > > It's pretty easy to ignore a signature. It's also funny, so I tend to give it a pass. I've seen worse signatures with huge pictures, those are pretty objectionable. The list members have come down hard on people with huge graphics and whatnot in their signature. Is Mr Rankin's long? Yeah, but it's text and it doesn't stand out and cry for my attention, either. > > Turning this on its head. If you expect the courtesy of Mr. Rankin trimming his signature, why is it unreasonable for someone to ask you to use your real name? Or at least use an alias that appears legitimate. > > Community is built when people "know" who their peers are. > On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 9:49 AM, Cynicalgeek <cynicalg...@gmail.com> wrote: > > #1 I read nothing in the EULA about having to use my real first and last name. > #2 I shouldn't have said that the LISTSERV should munge the long signature, I should have said that list owners should gently ask users not to use signatures that are incredibly long and useless. > #3 I'm trying to make constructive suggestions that would help the community of this list...solutions that would cost members of the list NOTHING and improve the service of the list. > > On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 2:05 AM, Don Ely <don....@gmail.com> wrote: > > 1 demerit for you sir! > > On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 11:02 PM, Jon Harris <jk.har...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Now someone is either dreaming or you have had way too many beers tonight sir. > > Jon > > On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 1:39 AM, Don Ely <don....@gmail.com> wrote: > > And while were at it, posts will only accepted by the listserv provided they contain the appropriate amount of research has been completed with references included! > > On Tue, Mar 13, 2012 at 9:55 PM, Gary Slinger < > > ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ > ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ > > --- > To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ > or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com > with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
