Once again, ONE arguably off-topic post, followed by a non-stop stream
of DOZENS of messages, for days, by self-appointed listcops.

I'm sorry if the only thing which prompts you, and you know who you
are, to post is that little rush of self-righteous adrenaline upon
seeing a message you think is conceivably off-topic but resist the
urge and sit on your hands or only send it to your imagined
offender. It's a lot like shouting at the television set.

Or, better, if you see something off-topic, POST A MESSAGE YOU FEEL IS
ON-TOPIC, lead by example rather than by whining.


          Few things energize us more than another's sin.
