       Please stop trying to bully people around on the list, Sam.
    It's been going fine since the last flamefest without any jostling
    for position and authority, and this is the way it ought to
    continue (IMHO). While a message like this does not fit into the
    classiccmp charter, Tim Hotze has been a long standing member here
    and doesn't seem to be attempting to divert the charter to classic
    computers _and_ Star Trek by posting an off topic question every
    now and then. This is just _not_ worth making a stink over.
         
       For the last few days you've been acting like you run the show
    again. Please stop. Please treat the list members like the
    adults they are, especially long standing members like Tim. Even
    Enrico, who I admit has annoyed me as well, deserves better
    treatment. You have the option to delete and filter... use it
    (see man procmail).
