Well that was very smart then; if you have a MB limit on your box,
you should have send this privately since attacking a very popular
list member is bound to create tons of extra mail. If you want to
reduce the amount in kb of mail, go on digest, saves a lot on the
overhead, more than the occasional post from der Doktor.
If it ever becomes normal to attack people over their writing style,
we might as well start correcting grammar or spelling mistakes. If I
want to be on a discussion list where that happens I would have
joined one, not ShadowRN.
Personally I enjoy every post by Dr Doom, but that has nothing to do
with this reply.
