Surely that is not the only thing you don't understand. You don't seem to understand anything that anyone has to say, which is why you're unnecessarily trying to create 'horrible people' out of practically everybody who is asking you to follow list guidelines.

Sadly, you do not understand (heh) that the 'horrible' person is already in the right place and is following the etiquette of the place he is posting to:
