>Note - with this message I am unsubscribing to your friendly list. He did; I got the confirmation this morning. Let's forget it. BTW... the idea of "kill the thread" means "don't post any more on it", for those who missed that... the fact that I came in this morning and found that five of the ten messages waiting from FB were about this was bothersome. To the person who sent me (privately) the history of this person on another list, thanks. Hopefully he was here a short enough time to not cause that kind of problem. Now, _I'll_ forget this mess and get back to coding & answering questions. If anyone else can't seem to forget it, I'll unsubscribe them for a while and see if that helps... For anyone who is still upset about getting the file attachment(s) - it happens. It's _usually_ an accident. They're _usually_ useful _anyway_. It's part of the "cost" of being on this list. I'm going to quote a couple of things from the FAQ though - >Please contact the list moderator <mailto:BMichael@...> if you have >trouble subscribing/unsubscribing, or if you have any complaint about the >postings of another list member. >We expect everyone to act like mature, intelligent adults, and to treat >each other courteously. Pretend you're all in a room together, and that >your Mother is watching. If you wouldn't do something while you were in >the same room as a person, don't do it here. That's all we really ask. >This mailing list is rated PG-13. Strong emotions and heated > discussion happen and are part of discussing things people care > strongly about -- but that is no excuse for abusive language, using > obscene language just for shock value, or attacking other users. > We _do_ have younger members, and abusive users _will_ be removed. > >VERY IMPORTANT: Do not play Topic Cop.

So, rather than getting upset and posting to the list when something like this happens, email _me_. If the gentlemen in question had not unsubscribed, after his postings this morning, I would have removed him. There is no need to post to the list and get _other_ people riled up. To the three people who _did_ email me; thanks. Bill (Guido the Bouncer) Michael FB List Moderator
