AMEN Mark! I waited several days to reply to him, after the blasting I got. And, I do not remember him being an active participant in this mailing list before. I recognize and deeply appreciate many of the people who are and have been so helpful, for such a long time, in this mailing list. He's not one of them. > > Yes, I prefer not to read people's personal ramblings, and I don't > like top posters, unedited response trails and so on, but you make me > look nice about it.... > > FTR, Sorin's posts were all rather nicely trimmed, though I admit I > was wondering when he was going to stop Rumsfelding us. > > Lighten up.

However, it is so obvious that he knows *EVERYTHING* I'm not sure why he has begun to participate in this mailing list. Simply to tell others how to post or not post. Has he helped anyone here? If one of the Developers wants us out, we will leave, but, I do not believe the Developers agree with what vandaman writes.
