But, Lars, you see, what they have to say is *so* incredibly important that you should receive extra copies so that the signficiance is not lost on you. Why go to the trouble of making contributions to mailing lists that are well-thought-out, cite new and interesting facts, share insights, make one laugh, propose novel solutions to long-vexing problems, or otherwise possess merit when you can get people's attention by overflowing their mail folders instead? You should be ashamed of yourself for standing in advocacy of measures that tell people they shouldn't drown the world with their drivel. After all, if everyone else in the world hasn't evolved a sufficiently complex set of procmail filters, that's *their* problem, isn't it? The first step in good citizenship is getting everyone else to deal with whatever you feel like dishing out, right? Glad we agree. Oh, whoops, now I've done it, I've gone and forgotten to CC you. Now <gasp> you *might not ever see this message*! Oh, the tragedy! -- G.
