It is about *choice*. You have the choice to use the email client of
your preference, but it is *your* *duty* to *learn* to use that client
in observance of the *standards* set by the list. It is not the fault
of the list that you are not adept in the operation of your *chosen*
email client.

Proper, IMNSHO, is a poor choice of words, in this case. *Your* choice
is proper provided you are able to use it within the guidelines set by
the list.

You *have* stated *your* *opinion*!

You would prefer that SuSE drop support for the list. It is provided
for *your* benefit for *free*.

You will be *missed* (??).

You take much liberty with the use of the word 'we' in the previous
sentence. Speak for yourself, please. Other that the few *vocal*
individuals who have posted disagreement, you have little support or
following.

They are in a perfect position to make a statement pertaining to the
list. They *own* this/the list, and thru their generosity, *allow* you
to participate. You seem to enjoy slapping the face of the one pulling
the strings.
Freely given an apple pie, you would complain that it was not peach, as
you are above.
