To the one person who ticked Chris off for misusing the list and 
asking for non balloon related help:

                            THANK YOU!

Let's hope he learns from this experience and doesn't do it again.

To Chris:

Just yesterday we sent out our mailing list rules which I thought 
were very clear about posting messages that are not related to 
balloons. If after reading them you don't see how they apply to you, 
let me know and I will amend the rules to include your name 
specifically.

You see, it ticks _me_ off when someone misuses the list by sending 
messages which start out with the words "Nothing to do with 
balloons..."

But it REALLY ticks me off when that someone misuses the list a 
second time to publicly criticize the kind soul who judiciously and 
_privately_ reminded him of the rules he agreed to follow when he 
subscribed to this balloon community.

In case you're still not sure about our feelings toward those who 
misuse the list, read these old messages that your other friends, the 
BHQ editors, have written:
