...ummm - Not exactly. Even though I partially agree with your sentiment about ignoring this stuff. It is both my opinion and generally accepted fact that the content was offensive. It is absolutely fact that the nature of the source of said content is what it is. Pointing this out is not inappropriate. The main point of my post was to validate that the original post and content was probably the work of a spam artist. This leads to that we probably need to take additional measures to protect the list - beyond ignoring the post. Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." It's important to understand and draw the difference between the two. And this will be my last post on this topic... -- ==================================== "Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses." --George Washington Carver _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
