This jack-assed way of quoting is worse than your last jack-assed way of
quoting, which was only slightly better than your way before that
jack-assed way of quoting.

Now that you've done it nearly every possible WRONG way for this list, can
you please do it the way that the guidelines say?

That does it. This message was the last straw. I had complied to the rules
as I was told them. I had changed my reply techique not to offend the little
babies here. I even, once made aware of the problem, stopped using the tab
key to indent the first line. Was that good enough for petty dictator Adamj?
NO. Witness this last post to me from that asshole.

So, good bye to the list. I will miss it, but fuck if I will put up with
with this abuse from the person who maintains the list. Adam, go to hell

It's just a mailing list for cripes sake. Grow up will ya? AdamJ does

and get on with your life.

Correction:
AdamJ isn't the list owner, but he *is* assistant fearless leader.
He does have the power of the killswitch (Unsub pillock switch), and he *is*
a member of GridSec.

And good riddance to you.

I am frankly surprised he wasn't thrown off, but I suspect that if
he hadn't gone on his own he would be, the way things were going.

I have a suggestion to the FAQ of sorts. There should be a note about
when asking for people's OPINIONS, and you don't like the answer, then
demanding the page number isn't good etiquette.

You do realize that you sent that only to a list she's no longer
subscribed to, it had no impact whatsoever?

And all sparked off by NightRain asking me about why he can't quote my
messages normally...

Sorry Spike, but that correction needs a correction :)

Adam is the List Administrator. He does help Mark maintain the
list. He is not a member of GridSec.

The difference is that GridSec uses <GridSec> to qualify their posts,
whereas Adam can use both the <GridSec> and the <Admin> tag.

If you see a <GridSec> tag pointed in your direction think of it as a
helping hand. We're just nice that way :) We can't unsubscribe list
members.

When an <Admin> tag is pointed at you it's a final warning. Adam
can, and will, unsubscibe you if you don't change your ways.

And then there's Mark Imbracio, the List Owner. Mark doesn't have to
use tags. His word, when applied to the policies of the list, is
law.

Me. I didn't mean to do it...... honestly. :)
