Luke, I'm surprised.  I would have thought better of you.

No one's forcing you to post to or read this list.  OTOH, you're not the
first to turn to it when your list of choice went black.  One would hope
for a bit of courtesy from those to whom this list is providing a refuge,
or if that's impossible then at least manage to refrain from insulting the
very person who makes your alternative possible.

For anyone who has not seen them (or needs a reminder) here are the
official rules of the list as Paul posted them last summer.  They are taken
from pretty standard works concerning mailing lists and IMO anyone who has
would seriously oppose them has more of a problem with rules per se than
any substantive complaint about the content:
