OK, I just DONT get it. I subed to this list because I was told that
to just talk computers in general I should sub to this list. I guess
that is not so. I was told that the cctech list was for those with
severe anal retention and the desire to have everything spelled
perfectly etc....
And that this list was for general discussion of all computer related
subjects. Apparently that was incorrect information. Everyone is
anal retentive on BOTH lists.
Just unsubscribe me as I can see no useful purpose to this list.
Just what the hell do you talk about anyway....no, don't answer that,
I have no use for the answer.

No, this is NOT a PC support list, it is a
general list for computer
talk which is what my post is. If you need to be "on topic" go to the
cctech list.
Jim,
I do believe we already covered this with you a couple months ago (and if
I'm mistaken I apologize). I wish I didn't have to bring this up, YET
AGAIN, but apparently some people just don't get it.
It's acceptable when the conversation strays from an ON-TOPIC thread (as
long as it doesn't linger for long, but they always do, <sigh>), but
to start an entirely OFF-TOPIC thread, as you did, is totally
inappropriate and inconsiderate to the rest of us here. Have some
courtesy.
In the VERY least, put an OT: prefix on your message subject, and in this
case, if you're at all honest, you might also include, "I'm too lazy to go
looking for this information in the bazillions of websites and books
available on the topic".
P.S. Fix your reply-to configuration.
