No.  *You* are impolite.

You don't read manuals.

You ask questions that we would like to answer, but you don't include the
data that we need to do so (the log file).

AND, you make it harder for us to answer your questions, by purposely
forging your e-mail address.

If you don't like me, just go away.  The mgetty list is *my* territorium.

Which is very impolite.  That way it's not possible to send you a personal
reply, which some of the readers might want to do.

Read the archives (dejanews), it has been said more than once.  About once
per month, to be precise.
