I think I can guess who the party may be, but I'd Oh, that "party" be me. And get a life, it wasn't "hate" mail. Yeah, I "manipulated" the From header just to confuse (and mildly irritate) you, but it is rather trivial to figure out who the sender of a message really is. I could have manipulated it to make its origin completely anonymous, but that wasn't the point of why I emailed you privately. Someone needed to tell you fair and square that you were acting like a complete jerk. And still are. > like to share the contents of the messages with you. Some mailing list > this one: Oh, so you want to keep this public? Ok. You deserve all the flames that have been thrown at you... you did start this. And now you are further abusing netiquitte by posting private email. What do you intend to achieve by all this? The actual result: more mailing list pollution.

So what? He'll just throw your complaints into the bit-bin as a waste of _his_ time. Nothing I said there is untruthful, and there is nothing the list manager would be bothered to do anything about. And even if he did, what would he do? This mailing list isn't moderated or subject to censorship, and removing legitimate subscribers who frequently post answers that help people isn't something they would do lightly. In fact, it is your own actions in this matter deserve critical review. You've manage to get a lot of people pissed off with you. I would put myself in the same boat as Jessie and Michael... I don't *have* to spend time reading and posting to this mailing list, but I do so in order to help people (since I have many years of solid experience with linux and redhat). (I honestly can't remember when I last posted a "please help me" question). You need to realise that RTFM is a common reply to many questions (which your original question certainly deserved), and I've answered many questions with similar responses on many occasions. Why? Because the answer really is in the Fine Manual. But people with childish attitudes like yours need really do need to have their head pulled in. Take some advice... take a big breath, sit on your hands for a long while, then hit the `next' button. > John Lowell For my part, I'm going to ignore this matter from now on, I've got better things to do with my time and energy. -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
