OOFie- It is so sad how badly SI has deteriorated since I joined. cut yerself some slack dude. it ain't ALL yer fault. i blame myself for not keeping a closer watch on you - and punishing you more consistently with my teases. there is also another SI TOU violation i've been letting you get away with that i shouldn't have. no more than two adjectives are allowed per noun. for example when you wrote... ...cold hard & indisputable facts... you exceeded the limit. just pick two and save the other for the next noun. <winks and makes hand gestures that indicate he is going to drink OOFie's last beer if OOFie takes this post seriously> -udder bullchitter

HardenedNewsSpammer, With regards to a spam violation, I'm surprised that they don't issue a warning first. It would serve the same purpose as the 3 day suspension without alienating the users who meant no harm. I remember getting suspended after arguing with someone who was picking on Voltaire. All of my e-mail requests for explanation were ignored. Seems to be their standard operating procedure. Burns ya up, don't it. More and more as each e-mail request goes unanswered. Makes ya wanna bust. Frustrating as heck. Each time you check, there's no reply... Things must be getting bad for the company if they are concerned with wasted disk drive space due to duplicate messages. Newspam used to annoy me but that was until I got a fat pipe (Internet connection). Perhaps Jeff still has a small one. -FatPipeClappy <edit> Disclaimer: Dearest Jeff, By no means do I suggest that you were wrong in suspending anyone. You have a difficult job besides having to police all of the complaints you receive on a daily basis. With the cuts in staff, your job certainly must have gotten exponentially more difficult. ...and I bet you actually sport a rather huge pipe... <Whew... hopefully that will keep me out of his crosshairs...> <g>
