the difference is that you are active on lists that i am also on. i don't
want my procmail scripts telling you to stop mailing me when you're just
mailing the list. that would be broken.
the fact that it tells you to go away if you mail the list and CC: me is
a minor bug, but one that i don't care about since debian list policy is
that you don't do that anyway.

the point is that i dont (or didn't - i don't actually care now) want
you sending me private mail, whether it is To: me or CC: me.

of the never-ending arguments with the (wannabe)-Holier-Than-Stallman
loonies on debian-project.

it's not about victory. it's about not getting mail from people i don't
want to hear from.
but yeah, ok. removed. commented-out, anyway.
