..................She then follows with 23 k of political comments : in this single message, she manages to combine two things she has already been asked to refrain from, on this very list : discuss politics, and hog the waveband.
Kerry, some people pay lots of money to follow the discussions on this list : they pay for the phone connection (by the minute) and for every byte downloaded from their server.
I will have to filter your messages again to the trash can before I see them(I had done it earlier, but you changed you e-mail address and came back on line.) People who pay for their download cannot avoid the charges by using the filters. Please show them a minimum of respect (That is the start of democracy.)
Can we ask the list manager, if he reads this, to restate the basic rules of posting to this list (actually, they are just basic good manners)?
Have a good day, everybody !
