RE: [uuc] netiquette, was WTF????

[Robert Phelan <centuri@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Correction sir, Alex was not the only one bothered by your message.  All he
did was point out the fact that you were in violation of the guidelines
that cover this list.  He did perhaps overreact by a bit and later decided
to publicly apologize.  I see nothing wrong with that.

Alex has been an active member on this list for some time and has always
chirped in when someone needed a hand.  I don't consider your insulting
attitude to have any place on this list, and I would humbly request that
you consider toning it down.  The rest is up to the moderators.
