Marco, do you have a complex of some sort?  Do you see conspiracies
everywhere?  Celejar brings up an excellent point.  You just seem to be
looking for any excuse to ignore him.

So, please tell me who appointed you judge, jury and executioner of all
OT posters?  Seriously, searching the list archives for your email
reveals that aside from pointing out to someone who posted to this list
in Italian that this is an English-only list, pretty much every single
message you have posted has been OT.  So, how exactly does that put you
in a position to say anything in this thread?

Wow.  Let's go for the nuclear option.

Really?  How about you don't post again until *you* start behaving by
your own standards of behavior?
