I guess Mr. Branko Collin will never see this since he has apparently filtered me [along with a number of other people] out of his world. Curiouser, and curioser.....I wonder what he's missed due to his chosen blindness.....[perhaps nothing important] hmmmm. By the way, I'm quite a newbie as far as contributing to Gutenburg is concerned, I wonder if my previous questions such 1) the proper way to take a physical book in my possession and get it transcibed into gutenburg 2) is there a digital camera I can get that will be able to take pictures to run through ocr properly or is a flatbed scanner the only viable method. And I'm sure I've asked other questions that seemed to fall on deaf ears, perhaps now I know why.... So my question becomes: how do I use this list for the discussion of PG if the people currently involved in PG ignore me because I was once inconsiderate enough to engage someone who was using the list (even if their usage is considered a hazard to most user's of the list)? For now I will stay on this list in the hopes that I'll be able to contribute both to it and to the project as a whole.... It may be that it's only a pipe dream and I'll have to find some other way to utilize my limited time. Sincerely, Jeff Waddell jwaddell@spunge.org <snip>
I started filtering out the flunkeys, and currently have the following addresses in my blocklist: Shimmin, Jon Noring, JWaddell, Gutenberg9443, Joshua, CannonA, Brandon, and Doug Schroeder. These are all people who felt it necessary to engage with the Bird and make this list a worse place to be, when instead they could have shown constraint.
