Oh for God's sake - I'm glad you have that kind of time on your hands. Now can we give this a rest? ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mouse [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2011 2:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Suns-at-Home] framebuffer refresh [snip] If I were faced with a UA that uncivilized and for some reason couldn't just ignore it and use something else when carrying on civilized discourse, I'd cut-and-paste the whole message into an editor, delete the whole thing (including the quoted message) in the broken UA, edit the reply until I'm happy with it, and paste it back. Start a new message to paste the response into if it wouldn't let me delete the quoted message. I would not be willing to inflict that level of brain damage on my correspondents. Any UA that couldn't support even that much I probably simply wouldn't use. Really. There has to come a point where we, the collective users, put our feet down and say, no, that's just too broken. Compelling top-posting levels of rudeness is just too broken for me. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Suns-at-Home mailing list [email protected] http://www.net-kitchen.com/mailman/listinfo/suns-at-home
