Your constant whinging is the reason for the action which has now been
taken. The lists are now off line until future notice, when I can deal
with the crap that constantly pours out of your keyboard.
It solves the problem of you receiving emails in your mailbox which you
don't like. Unfortunately, it's to the detriment of everyone else who
was able to constructively communicate, who are now left in the lurch.
You were warned that this was going to be the outcome, and still you
persisted.
To me that shows you have an extremely selfish attitude. Way to go.
