Craig Sanders said them. You said he's right. Now either he's right or
he's not.

Other than forwarding the private message (which was an exercise in
futility anyway since we've all read that sort of crap from cas many times
over many occasions anyway) I don't think he did anything wrong. cas is,
and has been as long as I remember, one of the most obnoxious, rude,
uncivil, foul-mouthed, and immature developers I have seen in this project
to date. When I compare messages from stu when he was but 14 and cas
either then or now, stu is more mature.
Now there's no precedent for being an ass being grounds for some form of
censure in this project (if it were, I think I would be hard-pressed to
find an active developer who hasn't been an ass to someone at some point),
but cas is such so often that a good number of people have plonked him
outright, which is probably the simplest solution for Thomas.
But I agree, the level of frequent and constant foul language laiden crap
which spews from cas' hands is embarassing (and this coming from me who
doesn't have the cleanest vocabulary in the project by far...) After
several years of this now, you'd think maybe someone would have told him
to just stuff it. Actually, many have - he's not taken the hint yet.

He seems to do that every email IMO, hence the permanent listing in my
rc.idiot file.

No, I think this thread is fortunately just about hashed out.

I'd been hearing all sorts of gloom and doom predictions for Y2K, so I
thought I'd heed some of the advice that the experts have been giving:
Fill up the car's gas tank, stock up on canned goods, fill up the bathtub
with water, and so on.
I guess I wasn't fully awake when I completed my preparations late last
night. This morning I found the kitchen shelves soaked in gasoline, water
in the car's gas tank, and my bathtub filled with baked beans.
