Hello Garry,

Despite of the fact that in your reply there is no chance to distinguish
between your lines and the text of the OP, please be so kind and stop
sending such nonsense as your footer, to be seen below, to a public mailing
list like the FreeBSD mailing list.

Thanks in advance

I see....  So I try to follow the rules and bottom post, and apparently I STILL don't do it right....?????? (SIGH)....

SERIOUSLY!!!!!  I use Outlook.  I write something and hit reply - period.  I am NOT going to take the time to scroll back in the message and add ">" or some other delimiter to every line.  MAYBE next time I'll make a one line comment or something to delineate the OP and my reply - MAYBE!!!!  Or MAYBE you can just deal with it?  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to follow the thread!

Some people on here are SO freaking ridiculous - finding every possible thing to complain about regarding grammar, semantics, policies vs. focusing on the SPIRIT of this and other user lists - HELPING PEOPLE!!!!  Before you (whomever) fires off an email bitching about something, please keep in mind that NO one is forcing anyone to be here, and people (such as myself) are taking their time to TRY to help others.  If all we ever receive is worthless criticism because we don't follow the policy to the letter, maybe we'll stop trying to help - and if enough do that then what?  I'm on one of those lists now where I'm one of the only ones that replies to peoples questions and tries to help.  Guess what?  NO ONE bitches at me (or anyone) for how we reply because they APPRECIATE the HELP!!!!

WTF PEOPLE!!!????  Get over yourselves!  If you don't like how I (or anyone) formats their post / reply - build yourself a nice little filter so you don't have to see such grievous errors that cause you SO much pain and discomfort!

I have ZERO control over what my corporate MTA's add to my message.  Deal with it.

And next time you want to bitch at someone, perhaps you could take the time to spell their name correctly?  Hello?  Pot, this is Kettle...

I appreciate your kindly worded request, and I will CONSIDER making an effort to address your concerns in the future.
