you have not read Shakespeare? Or looked recently at words derived from your
(and my) middle ages heritage. Good Anglo Saxon words are not the same as
gratuitous swearing, if you are so impolite to some admittedly dense
stranger then I would not like to hear your language after hitting your
thumb with the hammer!!

 Not really - that's why I apologised to everyone one in advance in the
 first line.

 I'd sent the gentleman in question two personal emails yesterday detailing
 exactly how to unsubscribe.

 He appears to have ignored them and posted yet another 'unsubscribe'
 request to the list.

 I CC'd the guy personally in the response you've taken offence to. The
 'barrack room language' was directed at him and was being used to
emphasise
 a point.

 If you are offended, then I apologise once more. Then again, 'oldfart'
 isn't a particularly pleasant username... :)

I should perhaps have explained the significance of the email address--I
am 72 years old which might explain some of the oldfarts peccadilloes, have
been playing with computers since the first of Sinclairs efforts and perhaps
might now qualify as oldest Linux student on the block as the Americans say.

Whilst I agree that people's inabitity to "unsubscribe" can be frustrating I
fail to see the need for the 'f' word in group email. By all means tell the

I seem to have caused a bit of a stir with my reply.

I personally don't have a problem 'barrack room language' with it but I
appreciate there are people who do. For this, I apologise unreservedly.

The only reason I posted the message to the list in the first place was
because the gentleman has obviously ignored the two personal emails I sent
him yesterday, and posted to the list once more. Maybe this is the only
place he's reading (or not as the case may be). Either way, I was merely
attempting to emphasise, to him, that I'd already told him twice how to get
off the list privately, and now I was telling him publicly in the hope of
catching his attention.

I was slightly offended by his ignoring my two private emails - it's like
asking for someone's advice and then blatantly ignoring them when they take
the time to give it.

If I thought I'd offend anyone, I'd never have posted publicly.

I'll shut up now

If the list server is not honouring unsubscribe commands, then we need to
inform mandrake and get them to check out the logs.

You are sending the email to unsubscribe from the same address you
subscribed to are you!

Failing that, go to

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/flists.php3

and unsubscribe from there. Although I find it hard to believe that the
server is not honouring unsub commands, it's not beyond the realms of
possibility.
