And a KB limit wouldn't have a workaround of quoting several posts and replying
once.

So if the response is neither, what does that mean?

Hey, you're out of off topic now!
Just behave like ~everyone~ else does in here for goodness sake :( (well,
~did~ before you turned up).
I really don't think you're getting much support here like this, and I'm
sure I'm not the only one who's getting kinda fed up of it and/or you!

Now that there is no off-topic, I must post my new email address in the
general group. I never read off-topic anyway.

I swear you guys cannot live without him, you keep trying to get in the
last word when you know that it won't work.
I was ordered to "drop it" when I had an honest question about the
legitimacy of the process, where now are the marching orders for people who
gleefully encourage Matt to post off topic and offensive posts in p.g.?

No, angrily said.
Emotions are a vital part of the human character. While I disagree with the
statement that emotion has no place in an "enlightened" society, at the same
time we are to control our emotions. When someone attempts to give someone
else "a piece of their mind", it is a sign that the emotions are controlling
the person, and not the other way around.

...as is anyone who replies to this thread. The povray.general group
is not a replacement for p.off-topic so we ask that *all* visitors who
participate on this news server evaluate the relevance of their posts to
this group before posting. Guidelines may be found in the
p.announce.frequently-asked-questions group. Thanks in advance.

Apologies for my previous post, it was indeed hypocritical. Sorry in
particular to Alan Kong - in any other situation I'd have been very pleased
to have a reply to a posting from him :(
