This point has been made before Chris, and we cant or wont make people obey.
We ask, and that is all. This has been a bone of contention since day one
with some people. Andrew and I are sick to death of it. The point is, we
are mostly all as guilty as one another for not including the word SPAM,
like I said shit happens... Now why dont you be a good boy and try and run
the RML yourself the way you and some others obviously think things should run.

How many times do we gotta ask? and how many more whingers and or
critisizers do we have to answer? You may not characterize it as whinging
but we get more than our fair share of this.

the LIST. We both have private addresses and that's where that sort of
message should be sent.

Afterall Harro included himself as among those who could be more careful
about not just posting any old thing to the LIST or not labelling it as SPAM.
