Ladies and Gentleman, May I offer a suggestion based on experience? There will always be someone on a forum who acts like the kid who drops his pants in the supermarket check out line to try and embarrass his mom into buying him the candy bar he's denied. Attention is what the kid wants and by acting like a little s*** he gets it. A good spanking would help, too, but that's not PC anymore.  So my suggestion is just ignore those who have no manners and insult people, start the name calling, etc. Eventually, when they don't get the attention they want they will go away to find someplace else to bother people. It seems that what is called the tyranny of the question has become the tyranny of the email. Once posted it requires a response. Well it doesn't. Just as the rude question doesn't deserve a response, the rude email doesn't either.

 I have the advantage of using Gmail and it handles this quite nicely. When I open my inbox all the messages are listed by subject and sender. Next to each message is also a box. All I have to do is check the box and hit delete. Poof, they're gone. No one is offended and I don't have to subject myself to some rude jerk. I'm sure other email services offer options like this, but if yours doesn't please feel free to contact me off list and I'll be happy to send you an invitation to Gmail.

Remember folks: this is a mailing list.

If you're thinking of it otherwise - as a community, or online Rotary Club - you need to get out more.



You can save a lot of heartache by seeking socialization elsewhere and using these lists for what they are - mailing lists.



Just a friendly suggestion .
