[mrtg] Re: List abuse

[Daniel R . Kilbourne]

In a gentler way, I agree. I think we should just let Tobi do as Tobi sees fit.
I think this issue has been beaten to death and should be put to rest, especially
as we should not scare away posts -maybe just make people think first (what a 
concept, huh Adam (:  )



as for you, though - learn to be nice. If you don't like this 'crap' then remove 
yourself. I for one (among others I'm sure) don't want our day interrupted by 
people that are 'petty' enough to try to ignite flame wars. Grow up, or go away.
