To new subscribers to this list, I suggest that you lurk for a year or 
so. This way you:

a) can gauge if your delicate sensibilities can handle the salty format.
b) can get a feeling of the flow of discussion and the personalities 
involved.
c) don't do a post which makes you look like a a-hole idiot whiny stroke.

If you don't like what you read on this list, then by all means start a 
thread which has interest, humor or information. What makes this list 
look bad is the endless whining, pissing and moaning by panty-waist 
wussies who-

-Can't take a joke.
-Can't stand it when they see someone having some fun.
-Have absolutely nothing to add to this list but whiny, pissy posts.

If you can't deal with the above then send unsubscribe to 
techdiver-request@terra.net and may I suggest the more genteel world of 
CIS or, horror of horrors, AOL.
