Look in the mirror. > OK. Let's recap: - Amy asked: "If somebody's current provider provides only POP, should they be forced to switch to another provider just for the privilege of being on this list?" - I pointed out that mpop would provide some similar functionality to IMAP (i.e., deleting messages on the server and so on). - Tyler Smith tells me I missed the point, that I am using this as a license to continue posting OT and then goes on a missive about how if things don't get fixed how we will lose both newbies and experienced users and how he is willing to sacrifice some freedom in the topics on the list to keep that from happening. (Please note that this was in reply to my *technical* message about managing POP mail from the server and that he also undid my change of the Subject header I made to reflect the new direction of that subthread.) - I reply to clarify that I was addressing a technical point, pointed out that he undid my change to the Subject header and then also pointed out that he was taking my technical Debian-related discussion and making it seem like that was somehow an attempt of mine to make things even *more* OT. - Next, you join in and tell me that I sidetracked the discussion. - I tried to explain the above to you. - You told me my behavior was offensive. - Here we are. > But since you don't seem able to cope with the concept that you could > just possibly be wrong, I will freely admit when I am wrong.
