Congratulations, all of you=2E

You manage quite well what hasn't happened before: Making this list irrele=
vant=2E The forums didn't quite do that=2E But your spammy posts that flood=
 everybody's mailboxes do=2E=20

I bet quite a few reasonable people would have dropped from the list by no=
w=2E=20

I honestly don't care about whether you think if a simple optional operato=
r ruins your true faith or will save us all=2E=20

Just stop the spam battle and by Jove stop reposting messages that actuall=
y managed to miss the list to keep fanning this flame war=2E
