And yes Kenneth, I think you are going way over board. Who are you to decide to boot the chap? Sure he has made a mistake. But then I don't think that has been repeated by him. Who are you to single handedly force the point that people need to be booted without any warning? I mean I thought this mailing list's code of conduct was drafted by some knowledgeable person in a reasonably democratic way. Ok Hyderabad does it, Chennai does, so what? So what man? You are taking this issue to such an extent as to start another deluge of OT posts.
why are you taking this personaly? I have every right to express my opinion and attempt to influence list policy. And every right to quote examples from the way other lists do things. And will continue to do so. What i am emphasising is that the concept of moderation is inherently evil as it sets up one person in judgement over others. Which is alien to the philosophy of freedom we support here. We are not china, with 30,0000 big brothers looking after our behaviour and habits.
Tell me onething everybody. What happens if your mail account gets infected by viruses of the sort that keep sending mails to all the addresses in our address book. Its theoretically all right to talk about how one should not give around his ID, blah, blah.... But in such a case you are realy the victim and not the transgressor.
anyone stupid enough, careless enough to get his mail account infected by such viruses is a menace to the community and deserves to be booted. You dont blame the birds that get flu - you just cull them
