Hi Sparkes/All

Sorry this is a long mail and taking up precious band width, but I have
a lot to get off my chest.

I take exception at your "pointless sig" comment at least my signature
does not advertise, for "holidays", "consultancy services", "web
development" so on and so on.

Accepted standard? Accepted by who?  Oh your standard, sorry better
watch what I say because you have the power to cut people off! Isn't
that the type of debating skill used by oppressive regimes throughout
history? I have used this format for 10 years and your the first to
complain, No not complain, Insult.

This is the third or fourth time I have been drawn into some sort of
playground brawl and its getting tedious, in my opinion its down to:
1. Trimming: some people do not see the full conversation and then get
hold of the wrong end of the stick.

2. Us and them: Those who go to the bloody standard can say what they
like those who don't get added to the  <snip-first strike on the
killfile counter>.

This argument was started by "old dan" telling me to snip with the, "or
else" tactic "you'll get peoples backs up" you have started a new
connected argument with "killfile". 

Do you see how this stuff spirals out of control?

Regards

Peter Cannon
