Maillist Burned Out



C'mon guys. Scott only asked for a little advice (anyone remember the charter for this maillist?).  The "Attitude" started with Fredmmill's shouting "WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?" followed by "you are shit out of luck - now aren't you?".  Now we get "your mom and dad taught you manners - didn't they?".  Well really, enough said.
( Btw - it's good to see a little livelyness here though :] )

Dear Sir/Madam: 

Did you ever take the time to think that maybe it is your attitude that is
out of line?  

I was at least nice enough to take the time to send you, what I thought at
the time, to be a helpful suggestion.  Granted, I did not realize at that
time that you are geographically disadvantaged with respect to IBM's service
centers.  But instead of then just recognizing the obvious - no, you have to
reply with "look at my address, I can't believe you. . ."  With all due
respect sir/madam - I niether did nor do care that much to carefully inspect
your address.  I have enough to do without worrying about your life too.  So
if you wish to get your nose out of joint - that is your problem... But do me
a favor and everyone else: don't cut their arm off because they did not first
take the time to carefully inspect YOUR address before attempting to help
you. 

Instead say nothing, say thank you - just be polite... I am confident that
your mom and dad taught you manners - didn't they?

Getting your reply to my first message was rather rude and insulting.  So
what do you expect sir/madam?
