Look, everyone. Get some self control. Let the stupid OS thread drop, and
let the stupid RTF vs PS thread drop. If everyone is mature enough to _NOT_
respond to ANYMORE of the emails in those two respective threads, this issue
will drop. I keep seeing, over and over again, someone going "This is really
stupid! Stop this thread! Oh, and BTW you're wrong because of this, this,
and this." GIVE IT UP! You don't have to get in the last word! And if you
do, move it to private email. Of the 150 or so emails I've gotten from this
list today, around 80 of them have been people either continuing the thread,
or complaining for it to stop. I have refused to say this earlier, but I'm
tired of hitting the delete key, in fear that I might miss some of the gems
of wisdom that I was looking for when I signed up for this list.

Please, if anyone has a problem with this email, SEND IT TO ME
PERSONALLY! Don't continue to spam the list. I've said my piece, and I'm not
going to say anything anymore about it. Go ahead, call me an ass or whatever
because I think you're all acting really childish. Just don't do it in the
list. Please, don't respond to this post.

You are absolutely right. I thought this was a Shadowrun list, not some
programming list.
