i see. so requiring people to take the time to be courteous and
efficient in their communication before you *volunteer* your non-paid
time to help them out of the goodness of your heart is "intolerant"?
don't tell me, let me guess. you're a republican.
And before you get out your flame throwers and flame me as a newbie,
I've been dealing with e-mail, mailing lists and newsgroups since
before USENET & ARPA.NET were developed, back in the bbs & uucp
days...
and in all that time, you've apparently learned nothing. damned
shame, that.
