  12. Well I am going to ask that whenever someone posts a "split c.o.l"
  13. request, that people flame them exclusively via email, not via followup.
  14. It seems the most anoying thing about these posts, are not the initial
  15. note itself, but rather the flames that follow, which are numerous.
  16.  
  17. I myself, personally contacted the individual via email, the second that
  18. I read his request, to warn him to expect mucho flamos, and why.  Still
  19. one must wonder how people can just walk into a newsgroup and starting
  20. firing with both barrels.

  22. Peter.
