Re: Spamming by/to list....

Hi Pinninty,

It might be worthwhile to avoid all kinds of name calling
on this list. We are a decent group of people trying to
cooperate to achieve something constructive in this community
and the last thing we need are people like you with an
attitude which stinks. If you have a bad attitude, we suggest
that you take it out elsewhere and not on this list.
