You don't get it.  If I was the only one, yes.  But there are hundreds
of users who don't want to read your crap and about 10 people sending
crap.  So which behavior is easier to modify?

 Isn't the answer to reconfigure you mail program to pick up 
 the responsible headers like [tiles] and throw the rest into 
 the trash?

  Do you really think it's reasonable for me to reconfigure my mail 
  program to filter messages every time someone decides to 
 create a new 
  off topic subject (OT, FRIDAY, BEER, etc.)?  Wouldn't it be much 
  easier to limit emails to relevant topics?  I'm on several mailing 
  lists and none of them contain blatant off topic totally useless 
  emails like this one does.  Really it's totally immature 
 and instead 
  of justifying it by telling hundreds of people to reconfigure their 
  mail client I think it should stop!

   Filter the messages with [FRIDAY] in the topic and delete
   them from the 
   server.  You could do the same thing with [OT] if you 
 wanted.  Most 
   reasonable mail clients give you this ability.

I ... hrm ... :-)

Even the Great Strut himself (Craig) has made note to those being 
offended by receiving friday-type messages that struts-user has a long 
history of being more relaxed on Fridays, and that such messages were 
considered fine.  So, we've got Papa Craig's permission to let our hair 
down come friday.  I do think it would be nice if people could confine 
that behavior strictly to Friday (this week has gotten a tad out of hand 
...), however, I, nor you, have the ability to set precedent - that's up 
to Craig and the majority to do.

Now, seeing as how the majority of folks are not offended by this 
behavior, and seeing as how many of us welcome it (on friday) as a bit 
of enlightened distraction, and seeing as how you seem to be in a 
minority of folks which don't wish to participate -- yes, I think that 
if you find something that offends you it should be your responsibility 
to do something about it.

I'm not trying to be an ass about this :-)  I just don't feel you have 
no authority over this, and, thus, should get happy and take whatever 
steps you deem necessary to manage your emails accordingly.  I do it - 
you can too.  It's very, very easy -- unless you have a POS email client.

... then that's just *my* opinion - I can't say it's a terribly humble 
one though ...

Regards,

Eddie

(I bet if you could show that a majority of folks had an issue with it, 
it would be stopped - however, until then, my advice is to get over it, 
act like a self-censuring adult, and move on)

 Because you're filling up my mailbox with them.  Just think 
 about it, if 1,000 people each take 5 seconds to read your 
 email, the that's over one hour of lost productivity.  Do you 
 enjoy wasting everyone's time?  The purpose of the email is 
 to discuss struts.  Offtopic is one thing but the comedy is 
 totally out of line.

Lol, click -- Delete doesn't take me five minutes.  If it takes you
that long I'd suggest email is the least of your worries ;)
