« iChat Status Set 1.0.2 | Main | Two personal showstoppers for me on the latest NeoOffice beta / OpenOffice release »
Dear random people on high traffic mailing lists.
I know that you've grown up knowing how special you are, and that you're unique in all the world. That your place in this universe is special. Probably your parents told you this, or another loved one.
They were wrong. You're not that special. There's billions of people on this planet. You're replaceable, and rather easily at that.
Speaking for the thousands of people on the various mailing lists I subscribe to:
We don't care if you're in the office or not. We don't care in English, we don't care in Spanish, we don't care in French, German, or Japanese. In fact, it's safe to say that there is not a language you can use that will make us care if you're in the office. We don't care why, nor do we care when you'll be back.
What we do care about, especially on lists for network administrators, is that you're incapable of correctly configuring an away message. We care that on a list which may get a couple hundred messages a day, you're spamming us with your self-centered incompetence.
So from us to you:
WE COULD GIVE A PAIR OF RANCID DINGO KIDNEYS ABOUT YOUR OFFICE STATUS!!!!
sincerely,
the victims of your incompetence

Warning for Notes users: The commenting system uses HTML.I know this will be scary for some of you, especially Notes fans. However, open standards, rah-rah.
If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar characters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
