No, I did not. You are looking for me to fall into it, thus mis-read my message
and ignored it's content to focus on the one piece you were looking for.

Please do me the service of reading my messages with a clear mind Julian. I have
no hate for the naive, nor wish them any lack of service.


 What do
> you mean "the naive user also shouldn't be administering a mailserver"?

I never used this as support for my arguments. It was merely a side comment on
the stat of the universe.  Re-read my message, closely this time Julian.

I am not arguing they should be ignored, or that they shouldn't be considered,
helped or catered to. I am merely stating, as a side comment, that they are in
fact already over their heads. Period. I did not ever say this option should be
eliminated or changed because it only helps the naive.

In fact, if you read my email, all of my arguments are based on LACK of service
to the naive user.

So, rather than focus on a side-comment, what about the rest of my email? The
part that actually has to do with MailScanner.

Why are you intentionally making it harder for naive users, but claim that
you're doing all this just to cater to them?
