I wasn't saying you DO those things- you're right, I have no idea of that.

What I AM saying is that your behavior on this list correlates strongly
with the type of person who does those things.  And I'm also saying that,
unlike in the line at the market or in our cars on the highway, in THIS
situation, we can and should politely but firmly tell you that we don't
feel your contributions outweigh the heartburn of wondering when the
next time you're going to jump out of a bush and say "boo" to some
poor newbie, and that you should go find someone else's bushes to
haunt.

In the interest of full disclosure, I should mention that the VERY FIRST
e-mail I received from the PICList was a scathing message FROM
YOU saying how stupid I was for posting an ASCII art circuit diagram
not in plaintext.  Fortunately for me, the next four messages were
from others saying "It IS in plaintext- you need to check your mail
viewer's settings", and my faith in the PICList was founded on the
four follow-ups rather than that first e-mail.
