Graham. When someone uses a public list and attacks you with crazy
accusations, abuse or sarcasm there has to be some right to defend it.
However, I am no receiving off-list abuse from Mike Cardwell including
cherries like "You are ungrateful and a waste of my time" and "I ...
maintainer of the Exim project and website". Talk about disappearing up
your own backside.
I can't pretend not to be saddened by the whole thing. This was a list,
until yesterday, that I viewed as friendly, helpful and a**ehole free.
Clearly Mr Cardwell has stepped up to the mark and proved me wrong.
I only recall being abused once before on the list, and that was years
ago:

But to Mr Cardwell, who's killfile I am now proudly a member of (I feel
honoured) I do most humbly apologise. I didn't recognise you, your
majesty. Seriously - grow a pair, you were out of order.
