E-mails

And for those few of you that want to send me an e-mail anyway, send them to Ed so he can screen them first, and then he will forward just the "important" ones. And, for those of you that don't get the e-mail, here's the card. Merry Xmas.

No, no. Not to worry, everyone here is always polite to everyone else. You should already know that.

This was back when it was carried on Fidonet and the like and propagation of messages might take a week or more.

Time marches on. Or so they say.

But look at all the responses it elicits. At least at home I have a wondernine handy. Ironic? Huh, and here I was, thinking it was sarcastic. Learn something new every day.

Clear enough, ran from 9 to 11 main frames for about 9 years - which is one reason I have a WebTV now.

If he can't bitch, whine and complain periodically, his sinuses get all inflamed, his piles start bleeding, he starts to weep unconsolably, he starts repainting all his tools green, and starts considering getting a real internet connection instead of webtv. You do NOT want that to happen. Oh, he also starts calling people "sunshine". It's just too ugly.

The name "Buttercup" comes to mind also. LMAO Hell, I don't complain, I state legetimate concerns. At least that's what management always use to call it when they complained. And that is an outright lie, saying I would repaint any tools green. Red maybe, green no.

to suppose that otherwise anyone will know that is your preference.

Emailing the link to them does NOT stop anyone else from having the same link.

Reminds me of the index to a Unix text. The enter for 'recursive' read 'see recursive.'

It's the non-exceptions who don't know who they are and it would appear that you intend to keep it that way.

[J. Clarke]

The point is that response to a USENET post via email is not discourteous, at best it's anachronistic.

If you e-mail it to one, you've gotta be prepared to e-mail it to everyone. I'll post, I won't e-mail.

???

If they don't know that they're exceptions, that should automatically tell them they're non-exceptions. Sounds good to me.

Not always maybe, but sometimes, for sure. Yep, anachronistic, time marched on, or at least ambled on.

Most Folks who post with a routable email address in their headers and nothing that says "please don't; send me email' are OK with receiving private on-topic email.

You don't understand that you're the exception here, instead you expect everyone else to divine if they are or are not.

[Fred the Red Shirt]

It doesn't tell people to not send you private email.

Oh man, that's rich!

OK, as long as it makes you happy. A change to my sig, stating I do not want to receive e-mail. .

JOAT I do not want to receive e-mail from [e-mail] (Fred=A0the=A0Red=A0Shirt) at any time.

[J. Clarke]

Well, geeze, JT, I gave up on _anything_ from _him_ a long time ago and dumped him down the bit bucket.
