OK. For the terribly intolerant folk amongs us, myself included at times, I propose a couple steps before replying. I know I've been hot-headed in the past, and when I feel that my reply can be constructive rather than simply abrasive, I'll write something. I'll postpone a reply message for a period so I can go over it again, and I usually end up editing quite a bit out. * Take a deep breath and count to 100. * Do not attribute to malice what could easily be interpreted as ignorance or humor. * If it ticks you off, delete it. * If it ticks you off a lot, killfile it. * If it is a legitimate abuse, report it to the list maintainer. * Unsubscribe # Example score-based killfile in procmail.
