My goodness.  May I remind you that you are all (hopefully) adults.  This
list is not for the discussion of whether or not shift keys are broken,
whether or not peoples' names "suck", and to complain about whether or not
one has a signature.  Personally, I could care less.  For all I know, it
could be meant as humor, but it sounds a bit on the rude side.  Join a
"let's see who's the rudest" mailing list.  If there isn't one, create it.

I could cancel this message and let you, especially the one at the ".de"
address (unfortunately, I cannot recall it) carry on, but I just thought
I'd remind everyone that this list is supposed to be a forum for the
discussion of Pine.  I already know that probably the one at the ".de"
address will say, "Who cares what you have to say?", and probably some
others, but this is merely a reminder.  I hope I'm not being rude <g>.

My warmest regards to everyone,

Jason

The job of the "person at the '.de' address" is to keep the rest of us
entertained so that we all don't get bored out of our minds from all of the
off-topic postings. If we are kept entertained, we are more inspired to answer
certain questions which get asked over and over again.

btw, you can't cancel messages sent to mailing lists.

Okay then.  That's an interesting form of entertainment <g>.  I can deal
with it.  It just felt a little odd, at first, if you know what I mean.

By the way, I meant by cancelling the message that I would push "^c"
before I could finish writing or push ctrl-x, y.  Ah well.

Sorry for my little outburst <g>.

Regards,

Jason

Outbursts are good for the soul <sic> when the soul is purged as a result of
the venting.
It's a requirement to blast someone every few weeks (average is about six
weeks now Adam...right?) I *would* suggest sticking around for a while,
things get interesting when ON topic, and downright ribald when OFF topic :)
