This is my fault for taking things too personal. When I would make a comment about certain things, I felt like I was being attacked, not only for my response but for the setup that I am working with. I responded to it, in an immature fashion. I should've just let it go. But I let it get to me, and it brought out ignorance on my part. I do sincerely apologize for my actions. I will try to be a better person from now on. Thank you again for having such a group where I / we can learn from one another and try to help each other.
Sincerely TOMTEL

In my view, the rule for the list should be no spam, personal insults or
attacks. First time gets a warning, second time gets you booted from the
list.
