>>For everyones enjoyment, perhaps we can zap this person from the list. >I second the motion. What tool. Why? Is Linux all of a sudden only open to people who are unable to keep a civil level of language? Is open source only open to people who are only willing to allow language that many find offensive? Perhaps the nay sayers about Linux and open source are right. We're a bunch of bigots who only want our own way. We talk about choice, but what we really mean is chose our way or the highway. How is that different than Microsoft or Sun or ... name your favorite vendor. If I understand correctly, those of you who are offended by someone being offended by your choice of language have already put filters in place. Yes, the auto-responder should not reply to mailing lists, but that is an issue for you to take up with the admin, not a real reason to bounce the person from the mailing list. Other mailing lists have the same problem, so far this is the only mailing list that I belong to that has suggested such draconian measures. -- Thanks, James Spinti jspinti at dartdist dot com 952-368-3278 ext 398 952-368-3255 fax
