I've made 2 posts in a month -- one that finally address a serious tangent (and many people thanked me off-list) -- and this one, just to make a little fun of the situation. I *KNOW* several people got a laugh out of the second one, and the first one was _sorely_needed_ when a "switched from RHEL back to Windows Server" article and resulting thread was looking like a lot of "Linux infighting" and "Red Hat bashing." I like to think I made a very careful technical analysis and post on that one. *NOW* considering I help 4-5 people *OFF-LIST* PER *DAY* -- outside the arrogant non-sense of your "off-topic" and, in many cases, "very mean spirited 'help'" -- I do *NOT* think the "whole world is out to get me." In fact, I just think about a dozen people hear just like to focus on _others_ instead of themselves (yourself included ;-). > Till then, if you have a point to prove, feel free to do so offlist, > as you had said you would - For now, I am unsubscribing your email > address's here. I already unsubscribed my "Yahoo" address right after I sent the message. That keeps me from posting except when I want to. Just like I am doing with this message. Now you had *BETTER* put my "IEEE" address _back_ on-list with no posting privileges. That way I can help people off-list. There have already been about 5 posts in the last 2-3 weeks that *NO*ONE* answered on-list, but I did off-list. *THINK* of the people *I*DO* help. And not of you're "I can't stand this Bryan Smith buy, even though he's only posted 2 times in the last month, and he only made 1 joke." > Your one post here just added to the thread, that I did ask to be left > alone. I'm not asking you to explain your motives, they are already considered "unobjective" by many. I do find that I've made no less than a half- dozen _CentOS_-specific posts in the past you've labelled off-topic. Furthermore, you've taken the arrogant stance that I'm a "Fedora-only" guy and not an "enterprise administrator." Sounds like someone had an "ego problem" to me. But if I give my background, I'm "flaunting my resume." So what's it going to be? Your continued assumption that I only do Fedora and don't know how to deal with "enterprise" networks? Or will you let your ego finally go? No offense, but your continued arrogance and self-appointed "I know what's right for the group" is growing tiresome. It would be one thing if you were objective. But you've smashed _good_ technical threads that _do_ have CentOS clearly in focus. You've belittled technical details you don't understand (e.g., Firefox.i386 on Red Hat.x86-64 distros), and the intelligence of others. That's why I help people *OFF-LIST*. It's not worth it. > For everyone on this thead : > I am also unsubscribing the other moron who argued this list is > unmoderated so do as you please. Goto Usenet if its usenet you want. And > if its humour you want, there are other places to get it. Take away my IEEE posting privileges -- I don't mind that at all. And that's why I only subscribe my Yahoo or Earthlink account to my 1 post every 2-3 weeks. I did it on 9/29 on the Red Hat thread. I did it again yesterday just to make a joke. Com'mon -- 2 posts in a month! So you have *NO*RIGHT* to keep me from being a "read-only" list member. I have far too many people *OFF-LIST*! > We dont have strict Topic guidelines, but I dont consider it > unreasonable to maintain some Topic sanity. Everyone has had their > laugh, Dave has said that the post was in error, now lets drop this. But apparently my _single_post_ was "too much to take" for you? You're a personally-vindictive, *UNPROFESSIONAL* individual, and I'm personally and professionally tired of it. -- Bryan J.
