A number of people have written to me in high dudgeon, and some simply
asking questions. They are telling me that it has proved impossible after
trying several times to set nomail, or in one case to leave the list. They
cite this as a reason for bombarding posters with out of office auto
replies.
It is, of course, perfectly possible that the old, tried, tested and
reliable software or some other interface failed. My question to them all,
rhetorical, please note, is "Have they reported this fact to anyone who has
the remit, power, authority and ability to handle this?" If so then I
accept their writing to me. If not then I place the ball firmly back in
their court.
A number of other people have also written to me to say "I agree with you".
The issue here is netiquette. This is a very gentle email group. It's well
moderated, and matters are expressed with politeness. As I've said before,
were it a newsgroup style of conversations flames would be flying and would
have been for ages. So please let's go that extra mile and get the
netiquette right.
