[yapc] Missing subcribers

[Bradley Andersen]

This thread is _not_ spam?

J.T. is doing a fine job.  The issue is with certain people who desire
strongly to _always_ be right about _everything_.  Judging what I have seen
in your posts, Matt, I do believe if I told you "water is wet", you'd
disagree with me.  I also feel if I told you "your name is Matt", you'd
disagree with me.

You don't always have to be right, you don't always have to be the smartest
guy in the room, and, you should choose your battles.  Your inane rambling
in these posts has caused me to stop watching it.  Nothing else.

PS: Fire away!

PPS: Opt-in is always better to opt-out.
