I'm with you on this one Mike, that list is full of holier than thou types 
that spend 100x the time preaching (translation: Ripping him a new anus) 
to some poor newbie that had the adacity to ask what I considered to be a 
perfectly rational question than they actually spend doing any question 
resolution.

It also appears they hate ansi-C with a passion, only blessing the M$ 
methodology even when I know its broken, often by scope related problems 
the last time I looked, but I'll have to admit the last time was several, 
years, as in nearly a decade, back up the log.  I asked a question too, 
was told to buzz off.  I lurked for a week hoping to detect some sanity, 
didn't, and I did burn several bridges as I unsubscribed.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules.  I do use spamassassin too. :-)
