Spam. When you reply to it, that's spam too.

i have to laugh at these emails, the spelling is shocking.

Whilst I agree with the witty comments of those who comment on this kind of
topic, it really isn't very interesting for those of us who receive a dozen spams
a day and have done so for the last couple of years (that makes 12 * 365 * 2
= 8,760 spams, OK?)

So please folks, remember that whenever you are offended in any way by
what is said on this list, your reply is just as unnecessary and it clogs up our
inboxes just as much.

I know, this email qualifies. You just have to explain this stuff to the newbies
once in a while. Those who agree with me please do so silently. Those who
disagree with me, I beg of you, please do so silently.

Let's get back to The Little Car That Could.

Ok i can sympathise with your plight. However,
1. Im sorry im going to disagree and not silently.
2. I also receive spam but there are ways of managing it and now i have cut mine back so my email time is an enjoyable one.
3. When i reply to an email on the list- even if it is just a witty comment - i am not to know that you recieve 8000 spams a year.
4. freedom of speech.
I do not intend to get into an argument- i just really think that your problem is not shared by everyone and allthough i try to stick to the list i shouldnt be classified as a "newbie" and punished with an email like that just because i got witty on one email.

Cheers
Gareth.
