I disagree. |

Your default position on things seems to be to favour the theoretical |
28 |
position over the reality. I'm the opposite, being a sysadmin and not a |
29 |
developer I'm a realist and not a theoretician. I work with the way |
30 |
things are and really only look at the theory when stuff is proven broken. |
31 |
|
32 |
What is currently happening is you are sending mails directly addressed |
33 |
to me so they do not get filtered and end up cluttering my already full |
34 |
inbox. You are breaking my filters. |
35 |
|
36 |
I do not want to receive list mail from you addressed directly to me, I |
37 |
want it addressed to the list. |
38 |
|
39 |
I do want you to fix your mailer so that you stop inconveniencing me. |
40 |
And I would *really* prefer not to have to tweak my filters to |
41 |
accommodate you. I'd rather you do that heavy lifting (on account of you |
42 |
causing it). |

Do you see what I'm getting at? |
