There once was a message to test

Repeated unto being a pest

	While marked to ignore

	It was seen more and more

Until other begged, "Give it a rest!"

Yep,
Someone had to say it.

That one needs to be included in the faq somewhere, urgently.

Just Great...
That has the quality to go into fortune (where we already have

some limericks)....

Though warned not to test on the list,

The rascal just couldn't resist.

As test messages grew,

It was found that the crew,

On misc@ were all really pissed!
Way too much time on my hands. ;) I guess that'll for sure

get an -o on the end of the fortune file.

If you mean me - thanks, Danny; I love you too.
1. Any test messages, which I've sent, reached the list several hours (some

even more than 24) after submission - and I had no idea at all until then,

that it'll finally appear on the list.
2. Any "warnings" I've received - I've received several hours *after* I've

sent last message.
3. I really don't know any other way to test, whether the mail will reach the

list, than... to just send it to the list. Perhaps you - smart guy, as I can

see - will tell me different way "to test access to the list without sending
4. It's really a pity, that *all* (?) of you prefer to see my difficulties

as some kind of "bad will" or "list abuse"; and nowhere could I see a

message like: "perhaps he needs some help?". I don't want to believe, this

is usual attitude among OpenBSD community members. Really unbelievable.
5. What a nice, helpful and kind man you are, "dennyboy". Your mother should

be so proud, indeed.
Just out of curiosity: what really a difference can you see between my tests

- and this, for example, thread, whish is just about nothing ("limericks")?

I can see at least one: I *had* to make some tests, I was in contact with

the list admin - but you don't have to show off here, with your "poetry".

Seems, you want to.
That's the second - and last - explaining from my side. I want to add,

that such (over)reaction of several persons is very disappointing to me.

Life is full of disappointments, kiddo! Get used to it.
Like Darren, humor tickles my fancy,

Now it's evident it can sometimes be chancy.

You dropped quite a bomb by dissing my Mom,

Like Frank Barone says, "get over it, Nancy!" ;)

there once was a Pole without humor

uptight as if he had tumors

again he sent mail

in spite of the hail

therby confirming the rumor
Please restart humord(1) before reading this list or you will continue

to be very disappointed. (;

That's humourd(1).   OpenBSD hails from Canada.

Well, OK - let's get over it... ;)

I was only trying to turn a minor irritation into enjoyment. Mostly I

think I succeeded. It's too bad I didn't succeed 100%.

His mail was edifying, even if off topic.
Not everyone flamed you -- most of us (myself included) ignored your

initial email(s) as a minor irritation. But count me among the

arrogant assholes who *were* annoyed by it.
cheers,

awesome.  just discovered that gmail's spam filter is a fast learner.

by marking the first test emails spam, i haven't seen the other posts.

I've always just clicked "Delete" instead. I don't acutally know

Gmail's spam filter algorithm, but I've always avoided marking

anything coming through via misc@ as spam, because I've a strong hunch

that Gmail uses individual users' spam reporting data in future mail

filtering for everybody. I'm afraid that if I were to mark anything

sent to misc@ as spam, then Gmail might eventually stop delivering

misc@ emails to me and everybody else. Maybe I'm overly careful, but

it doesn't hurt much to click "Delete" instead of "Report spam".
regards,

--ropers

Same here. I've always figured better safe than sorry.

I release this original limerick into the public domain ;-)
It may not be so funny taken out of context.

yes, fortune may be more appropriate.  it does deserve some sort of

prominent display, though :)
