Please -- Knock it off!

I'm only going to say this once. I will make no replies to this post outside of private E-mail, and I will accept no arguments from those involved in the current flame-war that even HINT at attempted justification for their cluttering of the list. I have changed receipt of CLASSICCMP to 'ack' (non-digest) on my end so that I may easily killfile/filter the entire childish flame-war polluting this list, which the perpetrators of seem unwilling to take to private E-mail as should have happened when the thing first lit up. I am tired of reading about who's right, who's wrong, who's a con-artist and who's not, and who's doing what to whom and for how much. I am here for one purpose; to share knowledge of old hardware and software, specifically DECish stuff. Others, I'm going to assume, are here for the purpose of sharing knowledge of the systems they have interest in. I do not believe that anyone is here to share a flame-war. If the flame-war traffic continues in the form of list postings, I will begin filtering by author rather than by subject thread. This could cause me to miss something I value, or to fail to respond to a question that I could answer, but at this point I feel that risk is justified. Read my typing. TAKE YOUR STUPID FLAME-WAR TO E-MAIL! PLEASE! Thank you. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Sysop, The Dragon's Cave BBS (Fidonet 1:343/272) (Hamateur: WD6EOS) (E-mail: kyrrin(a)jps.net) "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.
