Can't you teach your mailer to behave?

This has been told to you, IIRC, many times.

Yes, he doesn't.  However, in a related posting--in a reply to one of 
your mails, he says all these is for fun.

You know why?  Because it's fun.  :)

And it helps people to help themselves.  If you don't understand that, I 
can't imagine what you can?

Great!  IMHO, It's best for everyone to stop ranting about cgf's 
behavior--or style.  He's mean.  So, what?  You care?  I don't. If 
others do, that's their problem.  They will be wasting their time caring 
about his style.
