There is no relevance here to iiNet, that cannot be posted on a mailing list that is owned by iiNet.  Less that 15% of the users of this list are on iiNet.

Hrrmmm.... mutt wraps lines just fine, I think you had best check your mua for line wrapping.

What came out of it what you being abusive to Terry Collins, as he disagreed with everything that you posted.

The "welcome to my world" comment existed solely to explain what I have to put up with in my day to day work.  I cannot abide with crap that lusers send to me, and most of it get's killfiled.  Mailing lists exist solely for the purpose they are intended.  Despite your comments, and personal attacks, (something that I have not done), I never intimated that the list or any list belongs to me.

Heh.. someone told me that as soon as someone disagrees with you, you start asking for moderation.  I have moderated lists before, I still do, let me tell you that it's not a pleasant job, and you can't moderate people that disagree with someone, simply because they disagree with someone.

As I stated, the mailing list is for PLUG, and not iiNet Users.  I was a member of the group that first voted not to moderate the list, I don;t recall seeing you around.

Once again we get personal... to paraphrase Salvor Hardin "insults are the refuge of the incompetant"

My world exists for my benefit and amusement, you amuse me, your responses amuse me..

Once again, I didn't attack you, I attacked what you wrote, there is a difference.  I know exactly what I wrote.

Tsk tsk... attack what a man says, not what a man is...
