[ale] Newbee needing help #6

[James Sumners]

I will use your email to reply to everyone that thinks I was out of line.

In my opinion, it would have been better for the poster to gather up
all his questions into one well written email. Putting each question
into its own individual email gets very annoying for those of us who
may not be interested in answering the questions.

I think I waited long enough to make my issue known. I didn't send my
bitch on the third, fourth, or event he fifth email. When it hit six
straight emails is when I decided to voice my problem with the way the
questions are/were being asked. I'll agree that I wasn't very kind, or
even clear, in the way I voiced it.

As for the off topic posts. At least they are one subject per thread.
This is the same box with all the problems. To me, that means one
thread not six.

(And my name is not Jim.)

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts
pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
