Now that's a good one.

I hope this list goes back to a normal state [1] in a few days, it's been 
generating a lot of unhealthy communications lately. Chris may have a 
little social problem here and there. If that generates a response of 30 or 
40 emails to the list owner or whatever each time, I think Chris is not the 
only one with a problem. So if everyone would please invest bandwidth in 
other, more interesting threads, instead wasting it on this kind of flaming 
nonsense - and Chris, if you must, write a diary like Alan Cox, people 
obviously are allergic to the exposure of your living habits, so to quote 
Dave McGuire in a different sense "time to move [it]" - I'd be pleased.

I'm not particular getting annoyed or anything reading this list except for 
this kind of "discussions" (though I am getting tired lately, but that's 
just due to its volume). I don't like to see a good Virtual Community 
(doesn't that just sound great) go to waste. 

Quit it. All of you. 

I have said.
