Here's a message to those that have responded to my initial note with
insults, get a life!
I don't want to insult the 99.99 percent of those receiving email from this
procmail listing, but those of you who have responded with crap are some
very insecure folks. Perhaps you've lost you wife, job, house, dog or
Vaseline..., I don't know, but take a hint from the 99% of the mailing list
population that didn't care to return insults. These people don't need to
insult others to make themselves feel good. You may be returning insults
in order to make up for your lack of intelligence and self esteem. Try
being nice sometime, perhaps then, others will socialize with you.
Have a great day!

Rather than reacting to the intolerant garbage above, I would point out
that on every posting there are two lines of redundant information
posted. These lines say the name of the mailing list I have just sent
mail to and the mail address of the mailing I have just sent mail to. Is
this just in case I forget the address of the mailing list I have just
sent mail to ? Come on. These two lines could very usefully be removed,
and possibly be replaced by one line saying how to unsubscribe. There,
one line removed, saving all that precious bandwidth..and sparing all
the rantings from the mailing-list fascists...a sad phenomenon
demonstrated by sad people...who still think it's clever to refer to
people new to this list or any list as "the great unwashed".
