that's exactly the type of response which my experience led me to expect...
If you expect politeness, you first need to be considerate yourself. Setting aside the flood of abuse you regularly hurl at respected members of this list, I asked you many months ago why you -- as the only person here, to my knowledge -- insist on contributing to this list in ugly, bloated HTML emails, instead of in plain-text, which is the gold standard of mailing-lists, especially (!) tech lists. Constantly posting in HTML makes you look like a perpetual clueless newbie. Also, I made you aware many months ago that your cr*ppy AOL email software -- again, as the *only* contributor's here -- incessantly breaks the proper threading of messages from this list. With every contribution you send to this list using AOL, you break a discussion thread, creating havon on (for example) my iPad and iPhone, etc. If you don't give a damn about messing up other people's inboxes on a daily basis, you can't be surprised at the lack of civility you're experiencing, or the lack of interest in your innumerable projects. -- Yours, Alex. www.aboq.org [processed by "The Bat!", Version 4.2.44.2]
