Hi Andrew,<div><br></div><div>It would have been much better, if you had actually counted the no of posts I have made, which you consider as "signal" and which you consider as "noise". And then made a case for banning me.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Since no one has yet done that, I strongly take acseption to the prejudice that is being doled out to me.</div><div><br></div><div>Please go ahead and ban me, but make sure that you are NOT doing the following.</div>
<div>1) You are banning a person for critisising somebody and something.</div><div>2) You are banning a person who has technical opinions that are contrary to yours.</div><div>3) You are banning a person because he does not speak your "normative" language.</div>
<div>4) You are banning a person for not speaking your kind of plain english.</div><div>5) You are banning a person for speaking his mind out.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div>Santosh</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote">

Ok, Santosh, you've crossed the line one too many times. The fact that you were offended by that statistical analysis does not warrant such explicitly offensive attacks on the sender. You've offended many people many times on this list, and I for one would like to see you banned.<br clear="all">

The signal to noise ratio on this list is getting a bit low. I, for one, wouldn't mind the list administrators doing more about it.<br>
