It's had me perplexed for years now, but, why do you send so many more
posts to the lists criticizing people for metamessage minutiae no one
cares about than you do about Shadowrun? (Or Earthdawn; you did it on
that list too?) Personally, I don't even notice whether people type
"<snip sig>" or don't type it. Does it really bother you? Are you that
incapable of ignoring harmless individual foibles?

Seems like the only thing anyone *except you* ever complains about is
pointless posts. And you're by far the worst violator on this list for
those. So while you're sitting there in your glass house -- could you
turn the stereo down?


Have Fun,
- Steve Eley (who will take this off-list if GridSec says that's where it
belongs)

I only mentioned it because Adam already told people to stop it this week.
Just reminding people of an [Admin] directive.
