No, this bandwidth has a purpose.  To get somebody to do something about
this.  You are simply making it take more bandwidth than I had intended.

That was very constructive.  The vast majority of people on this list are
lurkers.  I don't have the time or the desire to post 10 messages to this
list every day.  That doesn't invalidate my opinion.

Again, the vast majority of people on this list are "sitting there doing
nothing".  Why do you have a problem with that?

I find it hard to believe that you actually think you can determine what
is mature.  It takes maturity to know maturity.  I'm also a college
student, although I don't see what bearing that has on this discussion.
Judging from your actions on this list, I would say you are about half as
smart as I am.  Once again, that has no bearing on this discussion.

Obviously nothing happened when it was posted before.

Your accomplishments are irrelevant.  They will not get rid of the spam,
so why do they have any bearing here?  You have not said anything about the
issue at hand, and instead have resorted to launching attacks on me.  I
don't understand this.

Oh you're so cool...what is this called?  The "my dick is bigger than
yours" argument?  I am assuming that you are insulting anyone on this
list who hasn't done these things.  I find you to be an ignorant,
conceited dickhead.  Why don't you unsubscribe?
