SEF does NOT have a reason to bounce RTF postings. It would be enough to
send an email (without quoting) stating that he doesn't like RTF because he
(and many others)
can't use it and he thinks it's a waste of resources. I knew all that when I
posted the TIFFs, I thought it over and then decided to post them because
I figured many people would appreciate it (and they did). If this was bad,
then all the discussions about the decline of ODs, of how to add
an 030 board to an 040 cube, etc. is just as bad, since it concerns only
a minor part of the NeXT groupies, i.e. those with old cubes (like me).
My post was ~7KB, which is small considering the appreciation it got
from many readers.
I will never, *never* accept anybody playing net.police in the way SEF does.
I am open to critique and flames, but I'm not going to consider mail and
posts as malicious and aggressive as SEFs tantrums.


And another message to SEF beacuse he still refuses to read my mail:
Someone with your email-address returned one of my postings in full quote
without adding any text to it, and changed the subject line to
"Grow up, dweeb". He must have confused the From: and To: address fields.

P.S. Sorry this post is so late. We seem to be getting news in longer intervals
recently.
