Re: [AVR-Chat] Re: Way OT: A question for our Aussie friends...

It appears that not only can you all not abide by the rules of the list, 
but cannot even abide by specific requests by at least two (2) of the 
list moderators and list owners.  If we were speaking face-to-face I 
would tell you to clean the shit our of your ears...but we're not, so 
you'll just have to accept my goodbye.  It's been some time since there 
was actually any bona fide discussion of serious technical issues here 
so I truly see no point in remaining a subscriber.

I trust, Darren, that as you grow up you learn to write and perchance 
even learn to spell as well as use proper grammar.  I hope your code is 
better than what you've written below.  Maybe you and Ted can go fishing 
together, as long as his rheumatiz isn't acting up.  Both of you are 
real brave when you're half a world away and communicating over an 
internet connection.

As a subscriber to both of the original lists and this one from its 
inception I'll miss the old folks...Dave, Kat, Les, Larry, Chuck, Bernd, 
Andy, Dave, Jesper and the rest.

AMF.
