This list has gone from 'shit' to the 'pure shit' status over the past couple of years. I can't recall the last time I actually read something worthwhile. I thought dc-stuff had issues with arrogance. If you can't keep track of '500 emails per day', why don't you unsubscribe from a few of the '23 lists' you talk about? Who the hell has enough *time* to go piece out 500 emails, where probably a good 90% of them are worthless.<I'm sure the ratio is quite higher on most lists, counting this one at times> I'm on a fair number of lists myself. If I get overwhelmed from idiots posting stuff, or the S/N is just insane, I'll unsubscribe that quick. Problem solved. <note: intentionally fully quoted and top posted, cause I like it like that.> <goes back to deleting other worthless list emails in my box>

Wow, that has to be the most egotistical, self-righteous, pompous bullshit that I have read today. Who died and named you King Klug?
Read my email again. I'm not claiming authority. My only claim is that I am INVESTED in this community. There's a big different. It's different between arrogant oversight and concerned PARTICIPATION. I find your characterization rather offensive. Couldn't you have stated you opinion in a more collegiate way?
This debate has raged on since the beginning and you will never be able to make everyone think and act the way you do.
I will ALWAYS demand that people are courteous. There's no good reason not to be.
Why is it always the little things that just bug the piss out of someone?
This 'little thing' isn't so little to me. I am on 23 mailing lists and receive around 500 emails per day. I do my best to keep up with every community and project in which I am involved. As you might imagine, I have only a matter of seconds to read any email I manage to get to. If it doesn't make sense, then it's immensely annoying.
Take a chill pill, and deal with it. This is a very low volume list, and if you don't like it, you can kiss my Ruby
The onus is on the sender to create an email which is more palatable for 'dealing with' ... not the reader.
