SubjectTired of the list abuse, Mr. Dean in particular
Mr. Dean,

I probably do not speak for myself concerning the frustration of getting 10 to
15 frivolous replys by you on various topics of discussion on this list. I
admit a few validly contribute to the discussion, but most seem to be just
opinionated blurbs that just serve to waste everyones time and bandwidth
receiving and reading them. I ask that you exercise some judgement on
whether you *really* have something to contribute before you hit the reply
button. Just continuing a discussion my stating "Java suck", or the latest
rather offensive statement quoted below doesn't contribute a bit.

What thanks do you give Linus Torvalds, who created and coordinated the
development of Linux and gives and is continuing to give so much of his
valuable time to our community, when you seem to credit him sarcastically
with regal detachment. He has much better things to do with his time with his
job and continuing kernel development than read the drivel that seem to be
posted here with regularity. You, sir, are a significant part of the abuse of
this list.

Again, I ask, exercise some judgement before you reply.

David
