JEffM and all,

  I feel the same way here Jeff, and have stated so on more than
one occasion.  However I do not censor anyone as a matter of
practice.  I try to respect everyone's input, whether I like their input
or not, is not really relevant.

I understand now.  Mark complained to me and i told him to go ahead and
filter me out.  It's all in my email.  But Mark felt compeled to begin his
complaining in public - even though I feel I have adequately dismissed his
complaint.

I posted the private email - simply because I have no need to repeat
myself again.  I am a firm believer that you say what you mean and you
mean what you say.  Mark did not understand that and I hope you assist him
in understanding he has the option to follow my advise.

So do you.

As I have said before here over and over again - I believe in self
censorship, but not in it's imposition.  Feels free to filter me - I feel
that the american way - which I support.

basic netiquette jeff mason, if I send you a message to you alone it 
generally is because I don't want to take a disagreement into the 
public domain.to take the contents of a private message and make 
them public without the permission of the sender is just not 
done.defining private message  as generally one to one I can 
read the mime email OK.  But many are operating with equipment that 
makes this impossible.  what wrong with doing them a common 
courtesy and refraining from it?

Your early style was not that bad.  But you are picking on the wrong 
person in picking on mark langston, so for what ever its worth I am 
on the verge of tuning you out.

I will also demand that you refrain from posting private e-mail without
the prior written consent of the author.

However, since you chose to ignore that particular convention as well,
I'll go ahead and point out that where I said MTA I of course meant to
say MUA.

I feed the same, it's fine on a web site but a hindrance

Indeed, I normally delete such messages unread, along with
those quoting the entire message so far and tacking on half a
sentence at the end.

If they can't be bothered to present something readable I figure it's
probably not worth reading.

Well - mark - here's my public reply to you, which is the same as my

If more members feel the same - fine i'll consider it.  But I'd rather

filter me.  Don't burden yourselves on me with demands at censorhsip -
