Here's the long and the short of this situation: 1. you did something, allegedly trying to be nice 2. it was something that (apparently unknown to you) bothered people because they don't want commercial advertisements -- of any kind -- on this list 3. when they pointed this out to you, some of the people here were less than polite because they care more about being annoyed than about your original intentions 4. rather than being suitably educated that even well-intentioned unsolicited "help" can be unwanted, you became defensive and rudely accused (at least some) people of being jerks Final childishness score: you - 1 the list - 1 -- Trevor Smith // trevor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
