Unsubscribe

[Brian K. White]

These responses are pretty amusing.

Let's see,

RE quoting: No one cared about Tom's quoting until Tom tried to falsely 
accuse someone else of lying, as a result of his own quoting error. He 
punched someone in the nose and then says how mean the other guy is for 
yelling about being punched in the nose? If he wants to leave because of 
that, what else is there to say but good riddance?

RE Mark is mean: I often see people on techie lists whine about how mean 
the guys who actually know what the hell they are doing are. I often see 
people on techie lists who don't really know what they are doing giving 
out bad advice and getting corrected and crying "I was just trying to 
help! EXCUUUSE ME!" These are not even remotely valid charges. It's not 
very "nice" or "helpful" to the poor guy getting bad advice tries to 
actually do what you said. I'm not remotely sorry if you don't like it 
that you are wrong, or don't understand or believe that you are wrong. 
I'm not remotely sorry that someone else is correct. I'm not remotely 
sorry that you handle both of those two facts poorly. That's all on you. 
When Mark or anyone spends a fucking HOUR actually exhaustively testing 
every tiny detail of some answer before hitting "send", for free, just 
so you can cut & paste and it will be safe and actually work, that is 
way the hell nicer than anything you ever did for him or the list.
