Robin Socha, this is a plea.
Can anyone say 'anger management course'? Good lord man, You don't have to get so disrespectful and nasty just because someone does not read,sleep,eat, and breathe a particular RFC or protocal. Lighten up. You were a newbie at some point, as was EVERYONE else. Nobody was born an SMTP god. Nor a unix god for that matter. I won't butt heads, nor argue with you. We are both much too intelligent for that. I have noticed however that there is a LOT of disrespect, and hate on this list since I subscribed. And a lot of it has to do with the simple fact that you (not just Robin, this is directed at quite a few of you!) seem to forget that you had to learn SMTP like everyone else. Granted, a lot of the emails to this list could be handled if the person would just read the FAQ. But the simple truth is, it's not going to happen. Human nature is against you here. Ask any behavioral scientist. Human nature is not digging through tons of documentation to find a 'simple' answer. Humans are lazy. Human nature is I'll ask this question on a list, then go back the next day, and get the answer simply because it's easier than reading the docs. Face reality. You are looking for an idealistic world. You need to see that we live in THIS world, and not many people are going to conform to your ideals. So, in closing. Follow your mothers advice. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all? You offer good advice to the members on this list, I do not deny or dispute that. I enclose the following snip, please Robin (and others), take a moment and re-read it. I'm trying to appeal to your intelligent side, not your hot-headed (and possibly a little egotistical?) side. MUA is Mail User Agent. The crap you're sending your messages with is an MUA. Got it? And if no appropriate help is available for Outlook, complain to the wankers in Redmond who *SOLD* you this shit. This is a technical list for a Unix MTA, ok? Oh yeah... Apart from the fact that I don't speak Portuñol (or even intend to learn it), this is crap, too: snip Kind regards, Jeff Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. I did indeed read the message about not CC'ing you..
RE: Robin Socha, this is a plea.
Jeff, You are wasting your time. Robin is just gonna hit you with his BS now... Don't take me wrong, I AGREE with YOU. But I went down that road with Robin and it didn't do any good. And it never will. I don't think he had a mother and it's obvious his father beat him regularly... hence the anger. Now we'll see if he replies to this. He shouldn't, since I use Outlook and he's already said he filters out all Outlook mail from this list. If he replies, we'll know he lying there too... ./bill -Original Message- From: Jeff Palmer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 01, 2001 3:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Robin S.

Human nature is against you here. Semi-true. When I first started on this group, I asked questions that were answered in the FAQs. I got short, sharp, and often rude, answers. But I got over it and learnt... Read the docco, follow the rules, and it'll be sweet. If more people that were abused learnt from the abuse instead of taking it to heart, then the world would be a better place... (well, this list would, anyway...) -- Microsoft's slogan *should* read: Where do you want to go today? It doesn't matter, you're coming with us.
