Doug re-posts and cross-posts yet another private email and writes:
[..]

the reason it was cross posted was that I was not sure which mailing list
you were reading it on or Daniel either for that matter.

What you are refering to as netiquette is an unspoken rule of
USENET not a mailing list as far as I know, so I don't believe it
applies
here.


"as far as I know, so I don't believe" IE take it for what it is (my
opinion) and if I am indeed mistaken sorry to bother you with my mistake.

I respectfully suggest you are mistaken. (On a number of points, and
this one in particular.)

[..]
Hopefully you won't be the next person to go in my filter
Grenville

Either way is fine with me :)


Me to... I doubt you will be going there as your actually replying to me in
some sort of a civil manner but I guess you never know what tommorow will
bring.

[..]
P.S. If you doubt the my claim that it was the entire message either
time I
can
always post them as file attachments for the whole group to see.

No need. I just wasn't sure if you'd posted the entire message because,
based on what you re-posted, there didn't seem to be enough to
get all worked up about. Still doesn't, but you're free to assume

Good I really didn't want to have to post it again. The insult she levered
against me is that she was implying that not only did I not format it
incorrectly but that readers of it would not be able to understand it even
if I had inserted the paragraph breaks she was requesting. This was intended
as a shot at my ability to communicate.

all you want about how things are supposed to work in the IETF. You've
clearly been around this organization and our mailing lists for a long
time.


As far as how things work in the IETF well I am kind of new here since I
have only been subscribed to the list for about a year now and I have only
made as I stated one or two other posts. I guess I just assumed this was a
forum for professional adults that would be free from the usual trolling and
childish insults found in other arenas like usenet. Perhaps I was wrong but
I would like to think that I wasn't. Then again don't we all like to be
right about things like that.

cheers,

Now can we be done with this nonsense?
