Yup, you were being nice. Sending me the FAQ 10 mins after it was posted on
both PlotD and ShadowTK, you really had to know I did never receive it. How
are you trying to fool - me, the other ones on the list, or just yourself?
And receiving another copy of the - new released - FAQ whole 10 mins after I
got it over both lists, I really had to knopw you were trying to help me -
with the line "You might want to read this"

See Dark Avanger's comments about using the INTERNAL header. Or my mail to you
were I was trying to explain the problem to you.

You might be blind, of course, and in this case, I apologize, but if you're
not, get real (there were 8 ^h's before real), and READ IT YOURSELF. It is not
clear, a matter of fact having being agreed upon - and the meaning being explained to me -
by
both Mark I. and the new Executor.
> Everyone knows that I am pretty Draconian when it comes to most things. The
I don't. how should I? I learned by reading the archgives, just a few days
before my post someone sent in a short story, not even with a header. So who
are you to tell me how to post?

You don't get that from me, be asured. Your errors should be obvious, so what
else can I say? You are speaking for me :-)

Would the rules be clear, and the style on the list following it, I _might_
agree. But not with the whole logical and formal errors going down the list.
Done by me, you, "us newbies", and "you oldtimers", although I don't
like the
taste of the last two statements.

If you try to help me by sending me several K of mail I _MUST_ have received
before, STOP IT. I don't need your help. Not yours. I need help of people who
are able to discuss matters with reason, not with kbyte tons of stuff I
already received and read (Yup - I read it about 5 mins after it appeared on
the lists. Did YOU read it before sending it to me?
And: How do you know posts are formated bad w/o reading 'em? Precognitition?
*grin* Sure.
_I_ did call for response by the - to you - unknown person from the UK. If I
write something, I want to see a well done. IC, if possible, on private mail,
if not. And I _am_ a member of the list, although you might not like it. Heck,
_I_ don't care if you do or not.
> If you had fun with it, great. That was wonderful, and I am honestly happy.
We had, and much more importantly, we will have, although people like you are
starting to get a pain... somewhere where I don't like pains. Sorry, this
might sound somewhat harsh, but I am fed up with being send something I saved
_before_ that ... listmember sent it _again_ to me, and read it.
