I do not read most of your threads because you begin them by asking
only for responses from "senior list members" and such like. In the
few occasions I have asked you if you ONLY want responses from
those who consider themselves such, you have never replied. So, I
have concluded that most of your messages have not been for me to
read or respond to.

This time around you did not start your email that way, so I read on
and attempted to help you.

In the posts of yours that I have seen, such as the one where you
got an error message from a web server and so decided to install a
bunch of unnecessary PHP and MySQL packages, there are many errors
of terminology and concepts.

I had asked again if you were using the gmail web interface in order
to double check you were really using the webmail as your MUA so we
could establish for sure if the problem was with the gmail web
interface or with some other piece of software. What I've seen of
this and others of your problems require a lot of questions to
establish the basic facts, if anyone is to help you.

I have always felt that my responses to you have been constructive,
even when it seemed like you were not doing yourself any favours in
the way you were trying to get help.

I am sad to see that my efforts have been unwelcome and that you
have such a low opinion of me.

I will not bother you again.

At least something useful (to me) did come out of it: I learned that
likely 30%+ of the readers of this list use gmail, and if you edit
an email subject then gmail detaches that email from the
"conversation". I can see why that would be confusing for you, and a
huge percentage of other readers of this list who use such a limited
service.

Regards,
Andy
