Yes, it is.  I find your preoccupation with this topic to be very obsessive.

Who in their right mind would want to do a date AND a time search?

>That does Everyone who isn't even on the List a Disservice as well,

I think you are the only one on this list who has a problem with this.

It is not rude not wanting to abide by your request.

I think what it is messing up is your obsessive need for control and order.

I think that people on this list could care less about these time
discrepancies.

I am completely in the dark about what the big deal is.

There is nothing about time synchronization in the guidelines.

Why anyone would want to do a time search is still beyond me.

Not to forget sloppy time settings and email addresses that are not of your
liking. :-)

Your long tirades about insignificant details are not in the spirit of this
list.

2. If you are personally criticized, upset with the operation of the
LISTSERV, or have recommendations for improvement, do not hesitate to
bring it to the attention of the moderator or listowner, either on
the list or in private.

Well, you have surely not failed to do this. ;-)

Such gentle persuasion. ;-)

I fail to see how the demanding tone of your posts on issues that nobody
seems to care about can be in the spirit of this group.

In your dreams. ;-)

The dumping and onloading of displaced personal frustrations is neither
honest nor appropriate.

That is because you are blinded by the perceived righteousness of your
"cause".

I hope that you have learnt something from reading my response and trust
that it has been a rewarding growth experience for you. ;-)

Your interpretation of the guidelines seems a little off to me, still I
hope that you have no hard feelings about me sharing my thoughts with you
on this topic. ;-)

Indeed, lets start afresh by putting an end to this nonsense thread.  I
hope I never live to see another 282 line post discussing the importance of
correct message headers  - life is too short. :-)

Best, Peter
