Hi all
<RANT ON>
Wow do you guys get spam too , 
who knew ??? 
I get lots of spam every week. Most of it consists of a whole
bunch of people giving out shit about the mailing list that
they are members of. no !!!s or capitals , just plaintext
condescending grouching that boldly goes where my other 4
mailing lists just can't. 
ILUG is a great list with many extremely good people contributing 
to it. A bit of tolerance would go a long way though.

<APOLOGIES>
I don't mean to offend anyone with my comments but
it has been bugging me for a while, feel free to 
complain about me or to me if you want but I had to say
it
</APOLOGIES>

People often find it easier to be a result of the past than a cause of
the future.
