Certainly you're not equating blind self-involvement and rude behaviour with zest for life! > all the belly achers should form a beer-club with Erich I understand your point, Claude, and quite accept its validity (although you certainly don't need anybody's acceptance). But perhaps you could let some of us have valid points as well. Many of us do this junk for a living, and have a great number of lists we subscribe and read daily to stay abreast of our professions. Some things just get tedious, as I'm certain you'll agree. And when requests are made ad nauseum, and completely disregarded time and again, well, you can imagine. In this medium all we have is what we type. In a physical, social environment, punches would have been thrown long ago. Regardless of how /you/ want to perceive things, Claude, there is a certain decorum in "places like this" and there is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to get participants to respect and follow it.
