Nobody's gonna win this argument. Can we stop arguing now?
I have no problem with an educated discussion, which might result in the
improvement of our mail software. However, it's getting a little heated and
pointless, and the cheap shots that have been flying are uncalled for.
Please think twice before following up to either the binmail vs. MMDF or the
MH vs. Mush issues.
Thank you.

Of course it's a bloody religious issue. Why do you think I created alt.religion.computers? And why do you think I've been cross-posting to it? Bill Wisner wisner@mica.berkeley.edu ucbvax!mica!wisner I'm not the NRA either.

The plot has now been uncovered. (So much for all of the informative posts here.) Bill, when do the group kill orders go into effect? -- Marc Rassbach marc@lakesys If you take my advice, that "I can't C with my AI closed" is your problem, not mine! If it was said on UseNet, it must be true.

And why do you think I've been cross-posting >to it? This article, combined with the current discussions in "short- circuiting a route" (in comp.mail.misc) suggest an interesting concept. Perhaps there ought to be an "ecumenical council" sort of meeting where all the various groups and individuals concerned with the transfer and delivery of electronic mail could get together and discuss the issue in a moderated and calm manner. This could be done in conjunction with (at least to start) a USENIX meeting or maybe even the IFIPS congress. Just an interesting idea? Or maybe a new crusade. -- Greg Woodbury
