Neb,


% Ad-hominem attacks snipped %



2) The fact that you have the gall to complain about my 7 lines of
signature when you sent 60-70 for a signature really amazes me -


They're different types of signatures completely. Mine is for security,
yours is to complain about foreigners stealing jobs you apparenly think you
could or would want to do.


Notwithstanding your Anti-American comments about my signature.


It'd be funny if I wasn't an American, wouldn't it. :P

America is great because we absorb the rebels and intellectuals from other
countries. Chances are your own ancestors were immigrants at some point, so
it seems silly to me to object when people apply to LEAGALLY work in the US.

You might find this to be an interesting read on the subject:

3) You said I replied to a post with over 200 quoted lines.


False.


4) My return email address is not hidden. It may be obfuscated to
prevent spambots from getting it, but not in a way that humans can't
understand how to modify it to get the real address.


It's a pain in the butt - and considered poor netiquette by many.


5) As for the charter of this newsgroup, do you see the word "BINARY"
or "BINARIES" in the name of this group? Did you see anything in the
charter that said "binaries allowed"? If not, then its a TEXT ONLY
newsgroup.


Says you. The newsgroup charter takes no position on the matter - nor does
the rec.aviation charter if we assume a cascading approach.

And even if it did, we should weigh the advantages to knowing a message
isn't spoofed or altered with the disadvantages of the meager increase in
file size. An S/MIME signature isn't anywhere near the size of a GIF or
JPG - and my signed message was smaller than some of the regular posts to
the group. And so far this thread has balooned to 5 times the size of a
single digital signature.


Lastly, Neb, I will point out that this is a TEXT-ONLY group about
rotorcraft.


Doesn't say that in the charter.


However, if you need an education on netiquette, then this is not the
place to get it.


Obviously, given your record. Usenet-wise, you're a low-time pilot with an
authoritarian streak. For the FOURTH time - if a 6kb post makes you flip
out, plonk/killfile me. I can only assume you don't know how at this point.


However, if you violate netiquette rules on the
massive scale that you did, then you are going to hear about it.


Hmmm...
A single 6kb post... "Massive scale"...
