You don't fit in by advertising your wares in every single post
and incessantly hyping a ThinkPad model that is obsolete and has out of
production for more than 6 years--again, apparently in an effort to
continue to hype your wares.

Joining the forum wasn't a mistake--just pushing your particular
agenda was.
A great example of how to play nice, do the ThinkPad community a
real service, and not be blatantly commercial about it, is Bill
Morrow. Take a look at the archives at how he has conducted himself and
you'll see a tremendous example of how to behave. And *everyone* on this
list knows he runs "thinkpads.com" and many of us have done business with
him in part because of his eminent professionalism.

Take a look at the extended headers.
Sorry to see you go. You could be a real resource to the list
concerning 701's if you chose to conduct your postings differently.
