And if you've been on this list long enough to remember my name from a general list posting then you must have also had to suffer through numerous OT threads previous to this one. So whats your problem with this particular thread? You misunderstood, I was pointing out that you were on THIS list back when General was created. This means that you know why it was created and what its purpose was for. I have never subscribed to the General list because I was/am not interested in OT email. However, since you stated that you are on the General list, you knew what its purpose was and subscribed to it for its purpose. There, I continued your OT email, much to my own disgust since it wasn't linux relatedI hope it served your purpose, to amuse you. My apologies to anyone who considered this a waste of bandwidth.

I'm as much responsible for this thread as anybody else so let me just throw in 2 cents. I'm not sure what the difficulty is with deleting OT mail. Of the four lists I am on, this one generates the least mail and pressing the delete button on OT treads or the 100 or more mail from other lists that aren't of interest to me is incredibly fast. Within one reading of a thread (SCO vs. IBM, rants about the war, the latest linuxandmain, where's Skippy, whatever) I know if I want to nuke it by default or not. No software, no filter, just the delete button in kmail. As fast as my finger can punch the button. To me, the OT stuff is often a great laugh and sometimes it's a little stupid. But that's what makes this list worth hanging around; it consists of real humans that are also real experts (me not included). By the way, did anybody find Skippy?

Blame [OT]
Blame Author Unknown Let's see if I understand how the world works lately... If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant. If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company. If your neighbor crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender. If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television. If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer. And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the crazed deceased blames the airline. I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So, if I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates...okay? Works for me! ;-}) In Harmony's Way and In A Chord, Tom ;-}) Tom.
