I saw your post and thought it was interesting and humorous.

I know there have to be rules or else someone would abuse these lists.
However, I did not find your post to be abusive.

On another list (sponsored by Yahoo) I warned users about a particular Yahoo
vendor that was hitting on list subscribers' credit cards.  I immediately
got an angry response from the list admin (you're off topic...  ), to whom I
publicly apologized.  However, within the following two weeks, I received
notes from 5 other subscribers who had to cancel their credit cards in order
to avoid ongoing/unauthorized charges.  Go figure....

I appreciate the vigilance of net administrators, etc.  Somehow, I think we
all could lighten up a bit.  IMHO!
