Well, just to make EVERYONE mad before they got to my thoughts of such posts on this mailinglist, I quoted the full message ,-) Anyhow. It's MY OPPINION that FLAMING and CROSS FLAMING or trying to explain your flaming should be done PRIVATE. I'm sick and tired of those public mails to the mailinglist. This is getting as annoying as another list I'm on. I don't think this mailinglist was made with the purpose of mailing a couple of hundred MUD-Implementors with this kind of stuff. Therefore I BEG you guy's who think the person mailing a message you find unreasonably bumb or ignorant to REPLY PRIVATELY ONLY, and keep it off this list. Now, I don't want any replys telling me some sort of lame excuse why you two actually mailed back and forth of this list, but feel free to mailbomb my server if you wish ,-) Regards, Con. d. -- *************************************************************************** * * Visit my homepage: * * Rasmus Rønlev DOEK'94 * http://www.econ.cbs.dk/people/raro94ab * * Student instructor * Visit my Multi User Dungeon (MUD): * * * ns3.ptd.net 5000 or 198.80.46.3 5000 * *************************************************************************** * * * Student, B.Sc in Computer Science and Business Administration * * * ***************************************************************************
