I'll tell you what... I just subscribed to this list a couple of days ago.
It's going to be my shortest time on a list... EVER!
No Loss on our part, from what I can tell.
I don't know about the rest of you (actually, I'm afraid I may be the
exception to the rule) but I think all of this foolishness on such a simple
minded matter as appropriate contents of the "Reply to:" line, etc and who
gets copied on what, etc. is a TOTAL and COMPLETE WASTE of bandwidth.
Period.
Learn to use procmail. It will auto-delete these threads for you if you
tell it too.
Good god, GET A LIFE! With people dying and suffering and starving, is
this ALL you can do with your time?
And how is my enjoying my hobbies going to improve someone else's lot?
Somehow I seriously doubt watching the lightning above the South Mountains
is going to end starvation somewhere. :->
AND...
HOW DARE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU PARTICIPATING IN THIS WASTE complain
about the spammers. I don't like to get their crap either. It's a real pain
when some slips in but at least I know that my filters work.
Just becuase you don't like a discussion, doesn't mean others don't like
it. Or are unwilling to learn from it.
[snip some inane ranting]
And yes, I do volunteer myself... at a school for the retarded and at my
church. I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science, and I am also the CEO of a
rapidly growing company.
I see you have mastered the cincept of humility.
I value my time. I'll find another way to learn
the finer points of procmail. This is too big a waste of time.
Bye. May you enjoy learning without benefit of the list. Maybe that will
teach you humility.
