That doesn't get it. That does absoutely nothing toward eliminating the replication of the same message several times in the archive. If you'd ever searched the archive for something, you'd know that not cutting and pasting leads to getting 8-9 hits for the same message...so here' you'll be looking for wisdom, and you'll have to take 8-9 times longer to find it, because you'll have to open each one, only to find it's a repeat of the one you just read. That's frustrating. This reply message is an example of how it should be done. > I've seen this before on other forums.

I guess you're talking to me, since I made the rules for this list, and I'm the "list-owner". This list is not a democracy. Repeat offenders can't just sit back and say "I'm going to do it this way because I think it's fine, and the rest of you can go pound sand". There are rules, they are there for a reason (more than 12 years of KRnet experience), and they were just posted to the list just yesterday. I make the rules, and have no problem enforcing the rules. I'll throw whoever I want off the list in a heartbeat, harsh as that may sound, and I will not feel bad about it. I'm tempted right now to spend ten seconds and simply stop all posting to the list for a week. After a week maybe you guys will come back with a different atttitude. I'm going to go for a bike ride and think about this for an hour, but if you try to post and can't, consider the whole list in a cooling off mode, and don't bother to email me and ask why!!!!! And as always, anybody wanting to start a KR BS list is welcome to set it up and go BS all you want....and you can make the rules. There ARE two other KR lists, so feel free to go there and annoy yourself (because you'll be one of the few people on either of those lists)...
