Why do you think that page needs to say that we need to be able to trust you before we let you contribute data on which the very scores of SA rules are based? This is a very serious question, and I'm looking forward to your answer. (I was the last one to overhaul that page.) > - Michael Scheidell said: "Ditto.

No. Michael doesn't want to help you and Karsten doesn't want you to participate in mass-checks because of your behavior on this list. Some pretty specific requests have been made of you. I recommend: 1) Stop posting from a hotmail address, and start posting from an address in the primary domain associated with the email hosting service you're working on. That's what Karsten meant when he mentioned your "freemail address". Yes, it affects how much we trust you. 2) Reply to each and every question you've been asked. With inline quotations. One post per thread (subject) (so two or three emails?). Inline quotations is what I'm doing here, with what you said preceded by "> " on each line. This, generally, is the right way to reply to mailing lists. 3) When people clearly express their anger at you for posting, not replying to any of the replies, and then responding by creating a new thread: Don't respond by doing exactly the same thing again. I'm really curious about your logic failure there. You might want to try starting new threads less often. We do really need more people participating in mass-checks. I'd like to see you improve your relationship with this community so you can do that. It would also improve your chances of getting your questions answered. -- "Of course there's strength in numbers.
