Hi Franz,
Some words from me too. (And I have never used a kill file. I am too
curious for that. I would guess those using rough language would
rather try to avoid sending to me ;-)

Even though some replies on this list may be frustrating it is mostly
because of misunderstandings. After reading this list for a long time
I did not even know what the word "troll" meant on internet. I had to
look it up when I first saw it being used in a group discussing open
source software. I was surprised both by the unkind attitude and the
lack of knowledge of the subject discussed in those using the word
"troll".

But please be assured that people here on this list tries to do their
best (but we sometimes fail, we are human ;-)
