A much more effective approach is probably to simply place the
offender in your bozo bin, i.e. block messages for the bozo. Let him/her
talk to themselves and otherwise ignore them. There is the old advice
to not "mud wrestle with a pig; you both get dirty and the pig enjoys
it".
TJ's position is a bit more problematical. However,
selling a great product does not make him responsible for putting up with crap
for ever. Bill Gates certainly doesn't feel any
obligations...
Appreciate your objective, just think it is more effective to
block the sender and ignore him/her.
Cordially,
Richard

Subject: [amibroker] AB "Toast" Society
Proposal
Gentlemen:Sitting on the sidelines during these
last few weeks, I have been continuously amazed at the creativity and
intelligence on display. However, instead of the usual humble attitude and
courtesy shown, we have a stubborn, obstinate and uncooperative new voice
suddenly shattering our usual aura of humble help.In my attempting to
arrive at some meaningful way of showing displeasure at any participants
relentless disturbance of the Groups demeanor, I have arrived at the following
proposal. 1. All official members of
the AmiBroker discussion groups are encouraged to
participate. 2. The process of removing a
member from membership is called "Toasting".
3. To "Toast" a member would require that 20 "Toasts" be obtained from the
membership. 4. A Toast is a $5 donation to
AmiBroker, in the person of "Tomasz Janeczko"
<amibroker@xxxxxx>. 5. 20 "Toasts"
would repay the cost of AmiBroker to TJ, and enable TJ to ban the "Toast"
recipient, without loss of income. (If truth would be known, TJ would most
likely be the first to "Toast" -- just to get the ball
rolling!) 6. Upon TJs' returning the cost of
AB to the Toast recipient, a lifetime ban is imposed on ever returning to any
AB list.Think of it, a democratic means of ridding ourselves of very
intelligent but obnoxious, self centered, strong willed "little people". Most
"Toasts" would fail, and TJ should use the contributions as income. The extra
income would provide additional proof to TJ that WE CARE, and is another
visible means of showing our support for him, his family and his
product.On Tomasz's part, he need only add the cost of a "Toast" ($5)
on his ordering page so that we might conveniently use our Credit
Cards.The recent Indicator Poll is an example of how difficult this
democratic procedure might be, however the cause of the action might take heed
of the tide of ill will displayed by the list participants. The threat might
just be a positive tool in keeping the group orderly.All those in
favor of the "Toast", light up the sky with your replies.Best Regards,
Hal Send
