RE: PLEASE READ Re: The weekly quote "obligatory" Why you are afr aid

Suggestion:

1. Open the Tools/Rules Wizard menu.
2. Set a rule to send anything with "Weekly tip" in the subject line to the trash.

For you, the list won't change at all.

What are you saying, that we shouldn't be "allowed" to put a subject of "weekly tip" on our submission? That we shouldn't be "allowed" to submit a tip once a week?

The negativity and control I am seeing here about this amazes me.

Juan...

  I've been on this list for several years... The reason I'm on this list is because I like it... The way it is... It's got some good technical content with the occasional humor mixed in... I like the people... I even like Mladen's humor (don't let that go you your head Mladen)... Sometimes the list traffic gets a little out of control but most of the time it's fun and on topic... You seem to want to change the list... To put it bluntly, I like it the way it is... Now, if you want to contribute to the technical content then that's fine... I welcome that... If you want to perform research and post your results, fine... That would also be welcome... Believe it or not, that already happens here... So, why don't you just enjoy the list as it is...

My $0.02 cents...
