Re: [GENERAL] Database access over the Internet...
Michelle, I don't think the list is going to change its operations for one disgruntled user. Since you seem unwilling or unable to employ the advice already given, maybe your only acceptable option is to unsubscribe from the list. At least that would eliminate much of the noise that currently is cluttering everyone's inboxes. - Original Message - From: Michelle Konzack [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pgsql-general@postgresql.org Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 4:41 AM Subject: Re: [GENERAL] Database access over the Internet... -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
Re: [GENERAL] Database access over the Internet...
You did not understand the problem 1) You did not explain the problem. 2) It's your problem, not ours. Your demand that thousands of other people adapt to your unusual problem is absurdly self-absorbed. Get decent email service, then subscribe from there. (Or go away. Either works for the members of this list, so it's really your choice.) -- Scott Ribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.killerbytes.com/ (303) 722-0567 voice -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

If you send the eliminatecc command to the mailing list server it won't send you an email. Are you saying you read this list some other way than a subscription to the mailing list? Because you said quite clearly in your first message you WERE subscribed to this list. So, are you subscribed through another account? Read through USENET? If you are subscribed via this account, and are getting an email from the user and the list, eliminatecc will work. Otherwise, no. So, peoples now sending me PMs does not help, since it DoS my system and make it harder for me to work since I have to walk through this messages I do not need because I have it already seen. WHERE have you already seen them. I'm still not understanding. If you're gonna subscribe to a list, do so with an email account that can handle being sent emails.

Re: [GENERAL] Database access over the Internet...
What's mess up is that the solution given the user DOES work. What's messed up is that a person asking for free help from a group of volunteers would insistently place unusual restrictions on how she will accept that help, then lecture those who tried to help but hadn't noticed her specific terms. I wouldn't have been nearly as harsh in my reply, probably wouldn't have replied at all, if she hadn't referred to the email coming to her as terrorism. Now granted English may not be her first language so I'll assume that's a poor translation and she really meant something closer to harassment. But even so, her position is outstandingly absurd, to accuse people of harassing her for attempting to answer her question.
