So I guess that we can put my mechanical knowledge and your lack of tact and
respect in the same category - nonexistent.

In fact, I queried the list in an effort to gain clarification on the nature
of my problem - which is, if I'm not mistaken, exactly the purpose of the
list. Oh, and I stated in my original email that I am mechanically

The purpose of the list is not to respond to honest questions in a way such
as to demean fellow list members.

Please correct me if I'm wrong . . . but isn't the point of this whole deal
to HELP people, rather than to be jerks to them for no apparent reason?

I am also an Advertising Executive, and as such understand that one of the
many ways by which spammers acquire email addresses is by the solicitation
of lists (such as this) as a means of obtaining "hot" email addresses that
are regularly active.

And trust me sir - there is no speculation involved in this assertion.

Please do the rest of the list a favor and monitor your inner dialogue when
deciding whether or not to respond to an email.

If it is anything less than helpful, please refrain from said response so as
not to waste others' time, as well as save yourself the embarrassment of
looking like a complete ass.

Although, it does seem to come very easy for you.

P.S. Merry Christmas!
