As a list moderator for a 1200 member group, I can't agree more with
Jim's point of view.
My email client will only send plain text messages, but I need a plug-in
to read HTML messages.
Since the list includes Linux, MS, BSD and OS-X users, trying to get
everyone on the same page is not an easy task.
And no, the list did not infect your system with malware or a trojan,
you did that all by yourself. Try a good anti-virus software app.
Trying to approve new members that do not have their call in their
email address or request to join is another major PITA. Whats the
matter, you guys ashamed of your call or name ???
OK, my nickles worth, just remember, before you go complaining to or
about how Jim runs the list, I'm sure he would be more than glad to
let you try your hand at it.
