Maybe take the longer view

This guy at WEBER has been a nuisance, but maybe it was unintentional.  It
could well be that he didn't realize what his auto-responder would do, and
he will be embarassed about it upon his return.  If ignorance of a topic is
a call for abuse, then what is the purpose of "helpful" e-mail groups?

I do agree that he should be removed from the list until the 8th, and then
perhaps a welcome back is in order.  If the guy doesn't apologize, then
maybe he should be blasted, but for now he should receive the benefit of
the doubt, don't you think?

I didn't exactly enjoy downloading 15 of those messages on Saturday night,
either, but if I went on vacation, I'd hate to come back and find my box
bombed and/or an entire community of highly respected individuals royally
ticked at me.  In this case, I think ignorance is an excuse.  As long as he
apologizes, I guess.

Anyone know when Netscape, Big Bill (Microsoft), et al, will be actively
supporting style sheets?  I read the press release that came through last
week, but what does ASAP mean to these guys?

Thanks for any information.

you poor, miserable, bored Yuppie, ...you never went for the gusto.'"
