Subjects fitten to be written

Ok, I don't want to start a flame on this list either, so let me keep this
short.. and simple.

One: I agree 100%. Keep doing business, trading, and tossing ideas, that
IS what this list is for, and the community. I am NOT against any of the
above.

What I had a problem with is the following (and I quote):
> Well, I tried calling again. Enough is enough! Well Ray if you still
> want them their yours! I don't have the time to be jerked around and
> need to clean the computer room now.

I don't particularly want to hear personal squabbles between people
arranging said business deals, telling someone "about being jerked
around". Well... unless someone's mentioning being jerked around by M$
licenses or something similar.  Being "jerked around" as an open source
community, or by the RIAA, yes, totally, I can relate, and therefore is
pertinent to the group in part, or whole.

The "tone" in your one email was personal and towards Ray, that had no
bearing on the group.  Perhaps if you rephrased it for the group, and said
"Well, my deal fell through, and I really need to get my computer room
cleaned out ASAP! My DEC's are still up for grabs, who wants the whole lot
for $50??" would totally be legitimate.

I don't think my meaning as to what I was referring to as "box filler" was
clear, and hopefully this cleared it up. If not, feel free to drop me an
email.
