---8<--- Yes yes nothing new.....nice to know that luggers are more interested in showing off their intelligence (egos actually) on the way msgs are posted rather than on the msg. Which gets me to ask myself a question....do these great intelligent people really care about GNU/Linux and this mailing list or do they care more about showing off their egos here. Yes i could've posted a link to the article instead of cutting and pasting the whole thing. BUT i pasted it because last time i had posted some link i had got a reply that the site required a passwd etc. So just to make sure no one faces any problems i pasted the WHOLE article. This takes me to another topic, Major problems in the world exist because people don't percieve things in the same way. Everyone has their own point of view about things. Even i have one but most of the times i don't let my EGO blurr the actual view. So yes i agree that i have posted mails with an unacceptable "signal to noise ratio" and i have changed that. But sometimes rather than following the HERD and coming up with such comments on someone you should try and think about all the possible reasons for a person to do something. And in this case i don't think i have done anything wrong . But as they say advice is something the wise don't give and the fools don't take ( i know people will reply to this specific statement of mine (thats my perception :) ) Yes i have realized that my mail signatures were unncessarily HUGE and have reduced it. But if someone still wants me to teach netiqutte this is what i would have to say to that person. @#!@#!#!
Kiran, =09Whats the point of just copying and pasting from
websites and filling=20
up our mailboxes? You would be far better off providing
a short=20
paragraph and a URL for the article.=20
---8<--- Yes my dear friend i could've been better off..but i did this with a reason. and i really don't care what you have to say.
=09Also, by not making a mention of your source, you
are violating the=20
copyright rights of cnet.com. Quoting their website,
"Re-use of any of=20

=09Please don't provide illegal(assumiing you have not
obtained explicit=20
permission from the source) documents on the mailing
list and make us a=20
part of the *crime*. =09Also, the disclaimer attached to the email states
that "This message=20
(including any attachments) contains confidential
information intended=20
for a specific individual and purpose". Does that not
make your email=20
totally useless for any mailing list with more than one

means that this email was meant only for the person who
uses the=20
address linuxers@mm.ilug-bom.org.in, and that all the
rest of us=20
getting this message should "delete this message". Also
the disclaimer=20
makes linuxers@mm.ilug-bom.org.in, or whoever the list
admin is, a=20
criminal because the disclaimer also states that

<NOTHING NEW> I have already mentioned about this one my dear friend. If you don't want me on the list u can unsubscribe me anytime ......I am using my corp id because its convinient AND AGAIN FOR YOUR CONVINIENCE....THE GUIDELINES OF THIS LIST DON'T TALK ANYTHING ABOUT DISCLAIMERS. SO either make sure the guidelines are changed or just stop displaying your intelligence on this topic. > > For those who want to read the article in its original form, its=20 > available at the following link > > http://news.com.com/2100-1001-975578.html?tag=3Dfd_top >

---8<--- yes yes i pasted is that such a BIG problem ???
err..some ppl have already gently suggested some good things abt ur postings and mail sigs etc..
-----8<---- so whas u gonna try next my dear friend ??? I have a suggestion for LUG. The homepage should say. Welcome to GNU/LUG EGOISTS Users Group of Mumbai! because thats what is going on in this list most of the times....everyone has such a big EGO...cant u ppl for once let things be and just FOCUS on the message rather than the sender of the message. There are a lot of constructive stuff to be done rather than this EGO trips that keep happening. What are you guys trying to prove to each other. This mailing list is like the GOVERNMENT OF INDIA....most of the times rather than FOCUSSING on the issue...the FOCUS is on who created the issue...how dare he create the issue...why didnt he do it this way..this is how its to be done.....O CMONN...gimme a break....come out of this if u really want to do something for GNU/LINUX....don't worry so much about showing off ur intelligence through comments on how ppl are doing things......i believe all u ppl must be great techies..and thats what u shud be doing....focussing on what u r supposed to do.... and if anyone else has any problems with me cut pasting stuff or my mails...i'd want to be unsubsribed from this list. Thanks for teaching me a few things on netiqutte...but i guess a lot of people here have a lot to learn.... What they need to learn is understood i hope....
what kinda ppl are MBT hiring nowadays?
-----8<--- Atleast not the stupid kind like you. And listen kishor...u better not get personal on this one.....Is this what the entire LUG is all about... MUD
