List etiquette

You asked me to do your work for you, when you are perfectly capable of unsubscribing yourself. Lazy. I'll honor your request immediately, since you can't seem to do your own work. No, you're imposing YOUR interpretation on us, when we all have a pretty good idea just what it means. I (and others) have said exactly what it means and you're simply disagreeing, which I will defend your right to disagree. But you will not be allowed to insist that everyone agree with your opinion. The occasional off-topicness is acceptable, usually when it trails off from an on-topic post. If it involves XP, you can't help but expect some grief. Now if you asked about how to get PUTR running under XP, or how to hook up 8" floppy drives to XP for vintage software preservation, that's a different story. If you can't see the difference, there's not much I can do to help. The post was on-topic because it was about an 8" drive, and being able to preserve old non-pc data. Very on-topic. The post about car maintenance was tongue in cheek, and meant to illustrate a point but apparently the point was lost on you. Some quaint phrase about a swinging door comes to mind. Since you can't seem to figure out how to either send an unsubscribe email to the automated list software, or can't figure out how to type the list management URL into your browser, I will oblige you myself. Since you run a list for vintage (apparently microcomputer only) software, I would suggest that you extend your list charter to include vintage hardware. It'd be great to have like-minded people with you. 386 discussion here is always welcome though, unless it's in a very uninteresting mainstream PC. Questions about DOS are ok here too, particularly on old hardware. This all falls under the definition of "classic". Jay West
