I had problems with the server yesterday, too. I thought that my messages 
were being blocked... that's paranoia for you ;-)

Actually I received it probably 24 hours later, I think the server's had 
hiccoughs.

Why? Why should this be acceptable??? Is this what its all about; "I'm 
still right, if you don't see that then I'm going to kick the shit out of you"?

What about the people the world over who are *new* to it all... all they 
see is a whole host of folk with little tolerance and streams of invective?

That's the whole point. The whole reason why this list exists and I don't 
disagree with you at all. Our opinions differ only when it comes to 
consider how valid a response it is to totally and utterly belittle someone 
simply because they disagree with you? And it happens time and time and 
time again.


Rgds,
