Brothers and Sisters...
A couple thoughts from Monk Rael...
1. Little is worth "debating" about on this list so heatedly, yet
when we do, the topic should be 'bout our love, our religion, namely:
chiles....or Twister...yeah, Twister fits in, don't it?? hehe...
2. Spam is not clearly defined...as most things are not clearly
defined, i.e are variable in definition depending upon
interpretation...or something like that <g>. Personally, I consider
anything in my "mailbox" that wasn't invited (directly or indirectly,
e.g. email from list members is okay...ususally <g>) to be spam,
*particularly* when my email addrs. has been *harvested* from a list.
It is indeed akin to me logging all email addresses i view on this
list and selling them. More drastic, more offensive, blah, blah,
yes, but regardless, the point be: it's ridiculous to argue about
Spam. Email the author and tell him/her to stop; or send him/her a
couple megs of clip art or the like. Eye for an eye, IMO.
3. I prefer to argue and flame off list. It's more civil, and even a
bastard like myself can be civil (hence, so can everone else, yes?).
I don't want to read email betwixt two (or more) that is little else
than name calling, cuss-wird flingin', and so on. It's boring,
mainly. But outta respect for others, do the bitching offline. And
i must say that it's *especially* offensive to see quoted private
email in a public arena like I just saw. It amounts to a person
saying "ooh, look what someone said to me...defend me!" It may be a
personal thing, yes, but that pisses me off to no end. Completely
lacking any honor, no dignity. Don't attempt to drag others into
little wars.
Please.
4. I'm a nobody on this list like everyone else aside from our
Exalted Chilehead ListMaster and Brother, Brother Mike B.
Nonetheless, it felt like time to spit a little spittle, say my
piece, and be done with it. If my speaking out offends anyone, by
all means, email me privately to voice yer displeasure, and
assuredly, i'll whip an email back to you replying with same
tone/voice/mood, and probably then some. Tis my nature to be
hospitable :)
But, I would hope we can all sit back, eat a little chile-infused
lunch, maybe drink one of those nasty carbonated bevs so as a nice,
rich, spine-tinglin' belch-o-rama cometh forth (makes my eyes water,
those do), and we can return to the world, happier, more content, and
thus - one hopes - more amicable with our chilehead brethren.
So...on with the chiles. Mebbe it's time to drag up that deserted
fantasy island topic? Okay...mebbe not...
Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
