Okay, you are now in my kill file.
I find this kind of harassment of a long time list member totally
unwarranted. You may find him annoying, but you don't have to read
his posts. And he has
valid points. He has always had valid points. And he knows old
lenses. He has
also been helpful to me regarding old lenses.
You, sir, I am finding much, much more annoying than him.
Marnie aka Doe (I don't have a kill file. But for now, I am not
reading your
posts.) Sheesh, sometimes there is simply too much testosterone on
this list.
Sorry you feel that way. Since you're not interested in reading my
messages any further, I suppose this apology is in vain.
I'm simply reporting the facts. Why I'm reporting them is that I find
such behavior to be an incredible waste of time and feel people on
the mailing list should be aware of how much this subscriber's
behavior is costing in terms of message volume.
It's not a waste of time for me. It takes me virtually no time to
generate such reports as I developed many automated tools for
analyzing large quantities of posts (the peak volume I used to see
was around 4000 posts per day) from newsgroups/mailing lists/bulletin
boards/etc that I used in the position I spoke of earlier. It's very
easy for me to generate and track mailing list traffic. I turned on
my tracking tools and find JCO's activity is classed as a "list
abuser" by the coda of every list I've ever participated in, and I've
been participating in mailing lists since 1984.
