Clarence Lamont, what ever you name is,
Newbies should be seen and not heard. This is how William de San Diego got
into trouble to start with. He assumed we were a bunch of screwups who
didn't know how to run a list. Well...
That pisses people off.
Yeah, we have some issues. We will get through them. But we honestly don't
need your advice on how to respond to a post, monitor content, or self
gauge how important our contribution to the list is.
I suspect you might want to go back into lurk mode for awhile, determine if
you even like us. 'Cause we were here a long time before you were, we'll be
here a lot lot longer than you. Garrrennnnteeeed!
sincerely,
tim in san jose
