with all due respect, I feel your approach Mahatma is feeding war flames here.
And I'm happy nobody is picking that up.
It's not about hierarchy, and if you would have been participating to the list for longer time you would perfectly know it (and if you are indeed on the list since long, then you easily know that.)
I can agree Mathieu and others (me included) can be a bit over the line sometimes,
but I find more offensive your comment, than the previous ones.
Who gives you the right to publicly ask how to solve your personal issue with an individual thoughts?
Who gives you the right to call people "wanna-be-gurus", when this is the ppl that allow you and me to play fancy stuff with a stupid computer.
Most importantly, which is the constructive aspect of your comment?
Even a "hot" comment on the list is always pointed at creating a discussion, where your discussion is going?
If you are not happy, you are completely free to do whatever makes you feel more comfortable.
Just do it, ask the administrator, and find a solution to your problem, but putting it out here it's surely counterproductive, and possibly a direct provocation. Your last comment now has a clear provocative tone.
You already have the option to filter, delete whatever you like, so please do it, for your and our good sake.
This list is one of the best places for thoughts we have on-line.
Some of us and myself might overreact sometimes, but it's also true that our communitarian self-criticism (as a list, not as individuals) always brings us back to the real world.
openness includes a bit of personal sacrifice imho.

wouv, I was not aware of the strong hierarchy within this community. So,
you imply that the "wanna-be gurus" on the top has right to piss off
everyone and the incompetent members should obey/be quiet?
I would like to have the option of not seeing his comments in the cost of
missing the completeness of the threads. Anyway it looks impossible for now.
