[Wlug] 2 goddamn megabyte message

[Mike Peckar]

Geepers, are there still dialuppers alive today that haven't set up there
own (damned) rules?

The roaring naughts are the age of rules and policies, baby - get with the
program as they say. Lesse, lemme recount a few -- if an email contains less
than 1m, send it to my watch; if its an mpeg or graphics file, send it to my
media server and let it figure it out; if its anything microsoft, send it my
handheld - its probably work related -- and if its got the words: sex,
drugs, or rock and roll, send it to all of them, baby, cause I'm a wild and
crazy guy with  'lectronic stuff, man, and I'm comin' to yer town ----

--so betta watch out, o.k.? and btb, election day is pretty much here right
now, so vote for ME, (goddammit), because (I swear,) if you  don't, we'll
all loose...

I did it.  Got a problem?  Take it up with me and not the list, and please
keep your profanity to yourself.

Let's leave my mother out of this, shall we?

The mailing list software sent my e-mail to the WLUG mailing list admin due
to
its size.  I believe the limit is set to 20 Kbytes.  The WLUG mailing list
admin obviously approved it for posting and sent it on its way.  I am not
the
WLUG mailing list admin (I suspect it is either Chuck or Frank).

You're quite welcome!  I'm happy to keep people informed about important
events in the Linux world, such as the Enterprise Linux Forum being held in
Boston.  Ah, but you'd have known that if you hadn't deleted a partially
downloaded e-mail message.

Now, to the more polite members of WLUG, my apologies if the aforementioned
e-mail has caused you some grief.  I'll endeavor to use more care in the
future.

Later,

Andy
