I need to remind everyone of the list rules, linked on https://www.freedos.org/forums/ and that point to http://freedos.sourceforge.net/freedos/lists/remind.txt
>We have only a few rules for posting to the FreeDOS mailing lists: > >1. NO HATE SPEECH OR BULLYING >[..] > >2. NO PROMOTIONS OR SPAM >[..] > >3. BE KIND AND COURTEOUS >[..] (you also get a copy of this every month as an automatic email list reminder) Liam's comment was inappropriate (rule #3) but threatening legal action because of that comment is bullying (rule #1). The posts that followed this are clearly waaaaaaaaaaaaay off-topic and unproductive. This thread is dead, and needs to stop. I'll remind everyone that this is a public email list. It's archived by third parties, including mail-archive. http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user http://www.mail-archive.com/freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net/ As a matter of practicality, it's impossible for me or anyone to "edit" an email sent to a public email list.
