========================================================================= o Flames - This will get you removed FAST!
Flaming is when personal opinions clash and people verbally assault others. Flaming is discouraged at ALL times on the Internet, and using the mailing list as a medium for flaming will result in immediate removal from the list. =========================================================================
Congratulations Guppy, you just became the second person in harp-l history to be removed from the list.
This isn't just because you called someone a prick, it's because you did so whilst cc'ing a *private* message of theirs to the list. This is taboo.
I'd like to add a personal note. You are a clueless, rude and arrogant person, and it kind of makes it worthwile being owner-harp-l to have the opportunity to remove you from the list and insult you in public.
If you resubscribe, I won't bounce you again if you promise to keep a civil tongue in your head and not act like a child.
