Gabe:

Your original post was entirely inappropriate, and this one is just 
over the top.  Mike made a polite request aand you escalated it to I 
don't know what.

Your original post to Jim Portillo was entirely unnecessary.  You 
have been warned on other lists.  Why do you have to say these 
things?  Your business may be successful -- I don't know, but your 
personality is so ascerbic that I would think twice before doing 
business with you.  Consider this to be a warning, one more uncalled 
for outburst from you and I will remove you from the list and block 
your address.

You are obviously a smart guy, and technically compatent.  You have 
something to contribute to this list, and others, but not if you keep 
attacking people.  We know you are bright, you own your own business, 
you are successful blah blah blah, stop attacking others.

David Andrews, List Owner
