For the last couple of days there has been loads of winging regarding format etc etc brackets and stuff on Email... There are some really sound and decent people on this list. This aint the first time some people wish to steam in to Rob Stringer. He has provided and kept up a FTP Server and most of us have downloaded something from him .We have found music and video which for some people it would of been the first time they had seen or heard this stuff. So come on there is far more shit going on in the world than moaning about formatting Emails. For Fucks sake get real its only a fucking Email........... It aint gonna jump out of the PC and stick one on on ya......
Mark, Let's not fool ourselves; Mr. Stringer runs his ftp site for his own benefit. Any benefits to anyone else are merely the cost of him getting what he wants. He's made that clear more than once. Anyone who cares to can easily turn up everything on his ftp site on their own in other venues; he provides mere convenience, rather than a priceless boon to the KLF fan community. Can we please stop kissing his ass over that? He (as you know) has been the center of sort of thing on more than one list. At this point, given the sheer number of long-term users he's clearly annoying on multiple lists, I'd suggest that perhaps the problem is him, rather than everyone else. Well-meaning people defending him only leads to more questionable behaviour on his part. As to the rest of your post, it can just as easily be turned around and applied to Mr, Stringer. Since he annoys a non-trivial fraction of the list by the manner of his posts; perhaps he should be the one to change, and follow the (very) minimal standards of netiquette we like around here.

can you guys not set up your own list to have all this bitching about on? one post about the ftp server may be annoying (doesn't bother me personally) but the following half a dozen debating the semantic and aesthetic consequences of it is getting really really boring this is s'posed to be for klf info, the last time i checked On Tuesday, January 19, 2038, at 03:14 AM, chrisjohnson wrote:
Chris.......Read your post mate....i aint on the list to ruck with other members. Its only my view and we are all entitled to our opinion and views. All i can say is Rob Stringer has always been curtious and decient towards me.I take everyone on face value but in my part of the world when it seems like people are ganging up on another person ie 3 or 4 or 5 to 1 it just seems a bit unfair. After all most of us are miles apart and only the Email is the way me make contact.This is a good list with good people.I hope it always stays that way.Regards Mark.......PS .....I aint kissing anyones arse and i never will its just my point of view.I will leave it at that.

members. Its only my view and we are all entitled to our opinion and views.
if you strongly believe this, then you also, by definition, believe that those who get annoyed are also entitled to their opinions and views. this unmerry-go-round is really, really, really old now :( for info when it'll stop, refer to my last post. just delete me, brendan
That would be the rule about never post or you will get flamed for having an opinion OTHER than yours?
perhaps he should be the one to change, and follow the (very) minimal standards of netiquette we like around here.
