you know what, you're right.  Fuck the 6000 people who will fill the extra 
bodybags Mayor Guiliani (sp) asked for, let's all deal with your limited 
e-mail space problem.

TELL ABC, NBC, CNN, CBS, TBS AND EVERY OTHER BROADCASTER
COVERING THE STORY TO STOP.  THIS GUY PROBABLY WANTED TO
SEE A GAME LAST NIGHT AND HE'S ONLY GOT LIMITED TIME FOR THE 
TV.  HELL, LET'S STOP DIGGING OUT BODIES AND SHIPPING OFF APPENDAGES
WE'VE GOT A REAL PROBLEM HERE - THIS GUY HAS TO DELETE 150+
E-MAILS AND HE'S ONLY GOT LIMITED SPACE.

how about you read the friggin' MUO or MUF archives.   or, here's a thought.
GET A JOB  maybe then you can afford an ISP who'll give you a reasonable cap 
on e-mail.  

see this is the kind of selfish, penny-annie bullshit attitude that got us 
here in the first place.  it's always about us.  we don't want to be 
inconvienced by airport restrictions, by war, or by e-mail.  i say that it's 
time to snatch our collective head out of our ass, take back the olive branch 
we always want to hold out and give the world the finger as we do some major
ass-kicking.

 This is the kind of point that I have been trying to make. As you have said
 there are always two sides to every issue. In many cases, there are even
 more than two sides and viewpoints. The US media has managed to convince
 many people to believe that all (or many) Palestinians are terrorists, and
 that they should all be killed. If you look at things from the view of the
 Palestinians, _they_ are the ones who are being persecuted.

 Things are not as simple as they may seem, and I thank you for sharing your
 views.

  owners, sometimes killing them; the Palestinians, displacing them, , how
  they have razed homes of the parents of suspected freedom fighters,
  even though those freedom fighters arent there or living there. how they
  have imprisoned those freedom fighters, on mere suspicion, without
  rights, without time limits, without age limits (could a 14 old kid be a

  of how the israelis have taken the opportunity given by the world looking
  at america to take over more land in Palestine (a whole town yesterday on

  who they are *talking* with in Palestine, may i remind u that the
  israelis took over the government building of the PNA recently?
 
  finally, may i remind u that there are always two sides to every issue:
  the israelis are after land; from the nile river to the tigris in iraq;
  whereas the Palestinians are after their very survival: life.

   Please let me remind you again, coz I'm sure many
   people did it already, this mail list is about newbies for Linux
   and not politic, and not terror. Don't think that I like
   what happened there, I was in shock myself. Just
   try to think , that people in Israel deals with the situation
   every day, all the day, all the week, all the year ...
   Now, back to the theme of the letter, try not to send
   any letter, that not about the main theme - LINUX.

to be perfectly honest, the World Trade Center's 50,000 employees have 
nothing to do with what happens in that dirt farm over there.  People are 
just trying to make a living and are being killed for it.  maybe it's ok with 
you, but it's not with me.  don't try to justify what happened here.  there 
is no argument you can make that will set this as fair.  i say we wreck out 
the entire area starting in Afghanistan.  when we've made moves it was always 
in a way that minimized risk to innocent people. that's who these animals 
went after.  maybe you were one of the shit heads dancing around when you 
heard and saw this.  i hope not.  i hope i never see you if you were.  my 
hometown was destroyed by losers and now they should have to pay

i don't know where you are from, but i was born in NYC lived on Long Island 
for many years.  That's my fucking home that burns and crumbles to the 
ground.  maybe you're pissed because your vote didn't win the election.  Hell 
i didn't vote for Bush either.  but i know one thing.  this is the greatest 
country in the world.  if you don't like it here, get the hell out.  maybe if 
your loved ones were falling or jumping out of a 92nd story window, you'd 
forget about what you don't think should go on in Texas and start worrying 
about your freedoms and right to life.

in this country, we take it for granted that when we walk down a street in 
our city (or main street) that the car we pass is not a weapon that will blow 
up as we pass.  i believe in everyone's right to life and pursuit of 
religion, however, when you bring your ass to my house, you're gonna play by 
my rules.

As I write this e-mail, I sit in a Philadelphia suburb listening to the roar 
of Fighter Planes passing overhead.

God bless America and the soldiers who will die.

Yes, i hear you about being scared...I'm from boston and was
 
  evacuated
 
today
from work. I just hope that fear does not drive us to succomb to the
 
  same
 
hatred that has been bestowed upon us today. This is a delicate
   
situation.
   
I
truely hope that it was a terrorist group and not a nation that
 
  attacked
 
us.
I certainly don't want friends or family to have to go to war over
 
  this.
 
We
   
have enough sadness to deal with.

I think the best thing we can do is recover as quickly as possible.
 
  Send
 
the
message that we are stronger than they are...morally an spiritually.
 
  If
 
we
   
stay together as a nation, justice will prevail. This has certainly
reminded
me to value America and renewed my national pride.

Ans thank you to all the people on this list from all nations who

the only thing i can tell you is to triple check your settings ..

when you're modifying your incoming accounts, the name should be whatever you 
want to call it @home-personal, etc.  the login should be everything before 
the @ the host is the POP3 (assuming) server name and then you can put it 
your password and tell it to store.

i'm sure you've just missed something..
