I bet you would love to have some face time with Adam in your office and give him a written warning at the end of it. This also shows that you do not place value on his mostly correct postings, because you are too caught up in the person and the wording of the content. Since you do not respect what Adam has to say because of his email address, do you also look down on the female posters on this list who do not fit the typical UNIX enthusiast mold? I work for a major UNIX vendor and get pig shit sick of dripping honey through a pippette down contract paying customers' throats 40 hours a week. Being a list lurker here is a source of relief because of the directness, which some seem to struggle with. There are nations of people who are just as expressive as Adam, such as New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. I wonder how you would cope with life down under.
