Glad to see you back! =8^) I had been hoping you hadn't
been driven away
due to some of the replies I saw to you... then didn't see
you around any
more, so I'm glad to see you posting again. =8^)
Me? My most potentially rude replies are generally to the
folks who post
in HTML, which is IMO a security issue when it appears in
mail or news,
and to a lessor extent those who continually top post.
Still, I tend to
answer the question along with my request to quit the
netiquette
violations, and only kill file those who continue them,
repeatedly and
consistently. I figure it's my reply, if they don't like me
reminding
them of netiquette along with my answer to their question,
they can just
killfile me, as I'll likely killfile them if they continue
the netiquette
violations.
