Dear IMBJR,

I though my previous post was to be the last.
Well, it isn't. For the reason at the bottom of this mail.

There are also some things that I forgot to mention in this
discussion until now.

First, some of the images I made over the last decade
have turned into covers of books (mainly dutch thesis but
also one pocket). I have always been astounded by the
liberty the 'art' department of the printers take with
my material. I can tell you that it is much worse than
conversion of an image from JPEG2000 into JPEG. I have
never lost my temper over this, so I have no understanding
at all for your reaction in that respect.

Often in your reactions to other people you give the impression
that you just react to something without any consideration to
the context as if you have an attention span of less than a single
sentence. Which is strange because you referred me to the context
in the reaction before. This remark in itself is in the context
silly at best (I think it is rude, but that is not the point here).

> Sorry. No doughnut.
Duh, apparently some sort of slang that I do not know of.
Could be related to 'Close, but no cigar', but something
like that does not make sense in the context.
>>>Strange how you did not get the replies you wanted though, isn't it?

Which proves I think that you do _read_ but are unable to
_understand_ what I say. Seldom had that problem before, so
I guess it is you.

> Perhaps for you, but I live in the real world.
Strange, I had the idea that I was also living in the
real world, but if you think otherwise, I reconsider.

> Yawn. That is like teaching of the sucking of the eggs.
Another of those incomprehensible sayings. I have no
clue at all what it means.

> Tee-hee!
What is that supposed to mean?

Second major point here: at least three incomprehensible
responses from you. All probably related to some form
of slang or local sayings that I am not aware of.
I just want to take the opportunity to support al those
that have told you again and again, that this is a
NG with a very mixed group of users. Apart from the
things explicitly mentioned in the AUP there are also
a number of rules to obey that have simply to do with
what is called 'nettiquete' or basic minimal requirements
for decent conduct in the community. So in case you did
not pick it up yet: only use language the receiving
party can understand. In most cases that means
simple sentences, no difficult words outside
of the topic of the news group and definitely no
slang. Basically texts that even a french girl or a
japanese boy with only a couple years of training in
english can understand.

Third: also mentioned before, and I just want to support it
 >>> Please, put me in your killfile and be done with it.
which you have used to a number of people here in the group.
IMHO this is a clear violation of the AUP.

Finally at last, the reason why I wanted to write one
more letter. I have been thinking very hard on this and
finally reached a conclusion. Reading you mails is
no pleasure at all (and as you yourself made clear that
is also one of the purposes of them). So I either had
to stop reading these NGs or had to change the settings
of my news reader. It will probably come as no surprise
that I decided for the latter. I activated a couple
of filters to delete everything you send before I
get a chance to see it. I though it was decent to at least
inform you of this. I have to do it for every NG
separately and did not do it for all the groups yet.
They are activated for this group however, so even
if you reply (which I am sure you will. I would not even
be surprised if you had started your reply before
even coming to this point), I will never see it.
Today has been already one of the more pleasant
days in the last two weeks reading the news.

I have no doubt that in ten or twenty years time you
will finally understand what I and many others have
been trying to tell you and be embarrassed with
yourself. I hope to meet you again whenever that happens,

	Andrel
