Thank you for the apology, Mr Reid; I appreciate it. I was quite surprised
that my comments would lead to such a response, and it dismayed me quite a
bit as I pondered sending another response last weekend.
In order to set a few points in order, I would merely like to offer these
few comments about myself. This is not a flame, but only correction.
I am not a newcomer. I have been on the Usenet itself for 2 years now.
That's not a truly long time, but neither is it as though I had only gained
access last month. Further, although I drew on examples from only the two
mailing lists in which I am currently involved, they are by far not the only
two I have ever used. I have participated in others over a substantial
period of time, some of them quite large in readership/contributions. I
think my experience with these is therefore adequate to allow me to make
comments about them in general. If you do not (perhaps your own experience
is considerably longer and more detailed than my own; certainly a reasonable
possibility), then that is your privilege, and I welcome any comments you
have in return.
Lastly, I know you don't like the fact that I right-justify my paragraphs,
but to date you are the sole person to object, and I have had several people
comment to me privately (usually as an aside in mail dealing with other
subjects) that they like it and consider it a good idea.
Anyway, this is all water under the bridge now. Thanx again for the apology.
