Re: [Thinkpad] Nabble

i talked to someone from your site via mail the other day. he told me
that the "next version" of your site's software will prevent people from
posting to lists that they're not subscribed to.

i'm disinclined to take any special effort to make things work with your
site until your software does what it should do anyway. if you want me to
pay special attention to you, i'm happy to take payment up front for my
time.

other listservs on the internet are not in the business of feeding your
company valuable data. please don't impose on other people's goodwill by
being careless about what your software does. [to put it rather bluntly,
i don't consider 'lists@nabble.com' a legitimate subscriber to a listserv.
you (in the guise of lists@nabble.com) are code, not a person, and
currently you're rather badly behaved.]

i'm probably being a little bit snarky, but the person i was corresponding
with the other day was a bit assertive, almost to the point of being rude,
about thanking me for re-enabling nabble.com's subscription to the
listserv (which i have not yet done, and do not plan to do until issues
are resolved). please go LART your customer service folks - or whoever
they are.
