All this so that people are 'free' to post 200 off-topic messages a day to the list? So the responsibility falls on the recipient to control what he gets in his Inbox. What about the responsibility of posters to stay within the published mandate of the list? I've spent more time deleting than reading over the last few days. Lance

I have no trouble groking my email and I'm sure I probably receive at least as much as you do along with all the work I actually have to do. Besides as I said about 30 messages ago the thread would have died long ago if people stopped telling others to kill it. If nobody responds then the thread dies of disinterest. If enough people are interested in a thread to keep it alive then it is worth having. If it annoys you then simply ignore it. I do pity anyone who has to pay for email though. That is just cruel punishment. I can't imagine being on any mailing lists if I had to pay for the messages. :) *^*^*^* Was it a dream where you see yourself standing in sort of sungod robes on a pyramid with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you? -- Real Genius On Fri, 29 Sep 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Original Message: From: michael [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OT [newbie] Microsoft and George W.

I have to agree with Lance. I was told off by someone the other day because I told them not post crap to the list and like Lance I spend more time deleting junk than reading good informational posts. Please for the love of God, don't post junk here! -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 29, 2000 12:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Re: Re: OT [newbie] Microsoft and George W.
