And, in considering this further, the term cyberbullying comes to
mind, and I am disappointed that this list, being hosted by Unbutu,
has been allowed to descend to the level of cyberbullying.

I therefore request that Ubuntu, or, its owner, Canonical, give
consideration to putting this list on moderation until further notice,
and that no messages that contain any denigrations, or derogatory
comments, about any poster, be allowed.

With that, and the deteriorating nature of the list, I see no benefit
in further continuing this thread, as it has become used to mount a
personal attack on me.
