Amen!  The best thing to do on any public mailing lists is ignore off 
handed remarks, sarcasm, insults, rants, etc. as much as possible.  It's 
even more ridiculous to keep responding to out of control threads with
'stop this thread' posts.

The best way to get any obnoxious member to settle down is to ignore 
them.  Often they get the message and become valuable members.

[newbie] OFF TOPIC - about the ridiculous 8.0 beta response

2001-03-08 Thread Jay needs a Guinness

In this day of political correctness we always have to be wary of what and 
how we say it.  I, for one, am NOT politically correct.  I refuse to be 
offended by what anybody says on a mailing list and my suggestion is, if you 
are offended by a comment (or my signature line...remember that one) just 
ignore the comment or delete the offending message.  Stop flooding the inbox 
with ridiculous replies about how you feel about it, for it is redundant and 
uncalled for.
