[Reader-list] pp

[Ravi Sundaram]

Dear Pankaj,

That is a technological solution to an issue of how one voice, virulent, 
insensitive and always drawing attention to self, often ends up shutting up 
a lot of people on the list. Personal attacks are a strict no no, as far as 
I am concerned.

If you like this kind of style posting, please yourself, but I don't and I 
certainly do not want the reader list to degenerate into personal attacks

cheers

Ravi

Well This in itself is an attack on Mr Pratap.Whats written above
are your views and yours alone I think many people enjoy what he
writes.and it would be really sad if he leaves the list disgruntled.

"Shut Up or else..." behavior also has no place in a list like
  this one.

If you dont want to read what he has to say just
make a filter and ignore all his messages.

a procmail filter for the samre looks like this
I'm sure Eudora has similar facilites.

trash                           # will go to $MAILDIR/trash
