If you'll actually read the email more closely, you'll see that the
comment was directed against the idea of referring to anyone who uses
POP as a "luser". *That* attitude is elitist and has no excuse. The
question of which is a better email solution was never raised in my
response.

Oh, I have, in the several years I've been online. The little spats that
erupt in this list are decidedly tame.

So you're claiming that the attitude of condescension that exhibits
itself in referring to an entire group of people who use software based
around a particular protocol as "lusers" is the motivating force behind
the creation of software like Linux? I think you're the one who needs to
step back.

I *have*, Mr. Kemp. Spare me your assumptions. Now, I've had my say, and
so far as I'm concerned this thread is closed. We've already wasted
enough bandwidth in what is supposed to be a support forum.
