accepted if you need to inline your comments with mine as per expected
standards on this list ;-)

You quoted a whole fucking message to say thanks mum.  What was the point
in that.  If the message had been as long as some on the list this week I
wouldn't be replying to this cos I would have kill filed you

We are talking about bogus content and you go and give us a perfect
example.  What was the point in quoting the whole of fizz's remarks just
to be fastious?

and that is just taking the piss.  It is a pointless sig if it adds no
content to the message and does not follow the accepted standard.

I sometimes post with a commercial message at the bottom of the message.
So fucking what, do we ban hotmail and yahoo users from the list cos of
commercial messages?  What about all the people who post from work?

I try to make my living out of free software and anyone who has a problem
with my sig can... well I can't think of an even vagely public term for
what these people can do but my anger on this issue is pretty clear.

My sigs work, see below

> Accepted standard? Accepted by who?
By the whole fucking internet community and the bbs community and the
usenet community.  If you have a sig do a -- and a space so it is
automatically stripping.  My pimps for my service are cut off
automagically by decent email clients so don't affect your enjoyment of
the message.  Yours are added as content to the message.  I see the same
few lines constantly and they get repeated in your self congraduatory
circle jerk of messages with other people.

of course you fucking do that's what a kill file is.  google before you
look like a prick without asbestos y-fronts in the middle of a flame war.

prick without asbestos y-fronts alert ;-)  I am killing your messages on
my machine.  I don't believe in censorship, I am not limiting your use of
the list just my personal view of it.  You are adding nothing to my use of
the list just annoying me, therefore I exercise my rights to cut you
adrift.  One less person to help you when you need it.

bollocks, I am insulting now because you refuse to learn.  I have been
using the style I use for the last 15+ years (and I am a lot younger than
you too if you want to insult my age like you sometime do but I am old
enough not to be interested in your teenage daughters) and it is an
accepted standard.  Stop being an arse and start respecting the rest of
the community before they extradise you.  I have been warning you about
your actions since day one and we (the inner circle) have been very
accepting of you indisgressions because we believe in education over blind
flaming.  Look back through the archives for examples

well piss off and play in someone elses playground or learn from your
peers.  We have been accepting and I am getting short of patience.

use the standards we adere to if you expect an answer because I for one am
going to start kill filing repeat offenders.  You don't have to get drawn
into these pointless arguement if you don't read anything I post.  I am
going to automatically do this to your posts after today so get used to
it.

It's fucking email account why should I have to read this shit.  Answer I
don't have too.  If you don't like what I write ignore it.  Belive me I
won't be offended ;-)  in fact it will introduce an element of surprise to
the list not seeing your circle jerk responces to every fucking message in
an effort to be a part of the community you are damaging by your actions.

fuck off if you don't like what happens on this list.  I am happy to
answer any newbie questions you have but don't want our community to
decend into yahoo groups teritory cos people can't be arsed with simple
netticate.  If you don't like what I say, killfile me I don't care.

It is people who don't respect the beliefs and conventions of the
community that undermine the things we are doing here.  We have
conventions respect them if you expect respect from the community.
Everyone is expected to make mistakes at first, this is totally normal.
But everyone else that has joined the list over the 4+ years it has
existed has listened to advice on how to act on this list.  They don't get
this type of shite once a fortnight.  You do because you fail to respect
the wishes of the rest of the community.  That is rude.

yup and it will continue to until I kill file you later today.  Right now
I am quite up for a flame war ;-)
