Yes, I should have. I gave into impulse in a weak moment and then REALLY screwed up by not noticing I was replying to the list and not the individual. (Most lists have reply-to set to the individual, not the list)
Sorry.
If this is how you reply to people, ESPECIALLY privately, and during weak moments, your Internet privileges are hereby revoked. Your status as a decent human being isn't looking good either.
Get control over yourself. Also realize that if you were to reply to someone like this in private, you are doing more damage to the community than if you did it in public. At least if you do it in public, we can rip you apart for it. A mailing list is not there to provide you with punching bags for when you have a bad day. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
The information IS in the headers, but many email programs don't show the full headers, extracting only the information that many people want (subject, TO:, CC:, etc). So if you aren't aware of it being hidden in the headers, you may not notice it.
I generally look at the footers, when present, to see how to unsubscribe. And many people don't even go that far. CentOS probably should add just a little more to their footers, such as a note that the link provided is also to unsubscribe.
