Wow! My ability to interject humor as a teaching method has been superseded the group ability to cram a hornets nets into their own knickers.<br><br>Le's see here - group member of a LINUX ENTHUSIASTS mailing list kindly posts a job opening. Someone replies to all and a reply to all is returned. Everyone gets a giggle.<br>
<br>But then the really funny part happens. The original poster makes a second blunder and requests the accidental email reply to all be withdrawn. It's a public forum and the public gets a second giggle. It seemed a tongue-in-cheek request was made to remove the blunderer. A bit more standard banter and a some people get the opportunity to pontificate on the vagaries of offenses on a public forum espoused by people, blah, blah, blah.<br>
<br>Get a life (or a therapist or someone who gives a ...)<br><br>This is an email list with a diverse group of (mostly according to meetings) greyhaired geezers (who may need some extra fiber in their diet :) that tends on occasion to veer off into a quagmire of stuff that is not linux enthusiast related but of importance to a few individuals.<br>
<br>Have some fun!<br><br>Hopefully to the HR person now has a better understanding that email lists go to many people and "send" means "send NOW".<br><br>"How was your day, hon?" <br>"Oh I came home and irritated some old farts I know on the ALE list.. How was your day, dear?"<br>
"Maybe you should beano out as gifts?"<br>"Nah. If I degass this crowd it loses it's charm"<br>"But don't they smell bad?"<br>"Happily, most have actually passed modern general hygiene 101 so they stink only when they, um, off-gas online."<br>
"You have strange friends."<br>"Yep! Keeps the normal Microsoft-loving wacko-type away!"<br><br>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<br>
<br><br>I will NOT be at the meeting tonight as is conflict with awards night for my daughter so all you old-looking geezers are just gonna have to drink your metamucil with out me :)<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, May 15, 2008 at 9:57 AM, Jim Kinney <<a href="mailto:jim.kinney@gmail.com">jim.kinney@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
