I got your point which of course had absolutely nothing to do with the
exchange of information on Fedora-list - which was my point.

There are some who are only too eager to behave like list moms and jump
on people for things like grammar, spelling errors, etc. - it's entirely
obnoxious.

Thanks for the resume, the introduction to the things that matter to you
and all of the barriers you want to put in the way of people exchanging
information.

I have no problem simply deleting messages that don't interest me for
whatever reason but I simply don't want to encourage people to who want
to enforce their obsessions about grammar, spelling etc. on others.

And again I note that we continue to digress over this worthless topic.
