Sorry. Frustrating hearing about all the chaos down there and not being
able to do a whole heck of a lot.

Dale, I wasn’t thinking about Texas and other parts of the US suffering from
the cold. I live in part of the US that gets very cold. We had -8 F during
this polar vortex. I was thinking of the tradition in haiku poetry to
reference a season and it being winter now I thought of that. Earlier today I
sent money to Texas to provide help. In the past year, all of the federal
COVID stimulus money I’ve received ($2000) has gone to charities (including
haiku-os, which I don’t mean to hurt by calling it a charity).

Leonard, I don't normally reply to this list as I am not a developer,
but this little haiku kind of p'd me off. I have friends and relatives
in Texas who've been "feeling winter's cold" for some time now, and
being Texans, they are not really very well equipped for surviving
winter temperatures I am used to here in Wisconsin. Some of them may
die before it's over with, having no electricity and therefore no heat
and no water.
Now, I know nothing about you, and if this was just inadvertant and not
a reference to the Southern US cold snap, then I apologize. If it was a
deliberate reference, then it was not funny and it was in VERY poor
taste. That being the case, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Really. It's 2021, people. Mailing lists have been around since the
1960's at least. Not to be rude, but I doubt very much that this
mailing list is the first people have ever used. Surely by now, most
should be able to (a) read the footer, and (b) follow the directions.
Self-service is faster than asking a list and getting a bunch of
replies saying "read the footer instructions". ;-)
