Alright, I stayed quiet when Greg Tracy posted that ridiculous message
about how there's too many of us non-proffesionals cluttering the web. I
restrained myself from entering the debate about whether this thread is on
topic. But this is too much:

I think that speaks for itself. As much as I would like to flame this idiot
until his ISP crashes, we'll all have to restrain ourselves and not stoop
to his level. I personally agree with everyone who thinks this thread is
off topic and should be stopped. As nice as it is to know that there are
people here ranging from the inexperienced to the full-time proffesionals,
I really DON'T CARE. I think it was totally innappropriate for Carol, the
original starter of this thread, to assume everyone else shared her deep
interest in the members of this list and INSIST that replies be sent to the
everyone. For future reference: if you want to know about something not in
the charter of this list do one of three things, in this order: post to a
more relevant list, not this one; post with the clause that everyone reply
only to you personally; or at least don't tell everyone to reply to the
whole list.

Anyway, the reason I posted this to the list and not directly to Preston
was that I want to encourage everyone to send to Preston DIRECTLY and
reprimand him (not flame him) for this comical reply to an honest and
reasonable attempt at returning order to the list. I hope this is one of
the last messages in this thread. Maybe one of the monitors will see that
my message is off-topic and kill it for us ;)

Violence (and flaming) is the last resort of the incompetent

P.S. Preston, dorkly is not a word.
