Steven,

I agree whole-heartedly.

I just did a little survey.  The entity Cmopollux has posted approximately
80 posts in the last 15 or so days.  I think he/she currently leads everyone
in number of threads started by a single user.  About 90% of his/her posts
have been 3 or four lines long requesting assistance.  All the ones I read
thru were answered in the knowledge base.  In fact, I bet that if he had of
cut and pasted his/her question into the knowledge base search engine an
answer would have been provided.

So I don't think that your comment is rude.  I think Comopollux's blatent
disregard for the ettiquite of this list are well beyond rude.

Further, I don't understand what the deal is with AOL's mail client, but it
seems to be unable to quote an email.  Either that or AOL users just don't
understand that quoting the context (especially on a mailing list with a
gazillion threads) is not optional, but required.

I am suprised I hadn't noticed it myself earlier... I guess I just skip over
threads that say stuff like 'subdomain' or 'dns help' or whatever.

Anyway, Cmopollux is in the dog house as far as I am concerned.  But being
in the dog house is better then being in /dev/null.
