Sorry you took what I said as objectionable.  I took the original post as 
noise injection.  It takes a relatively small amount of noise to wreck a 
list if list members (or moderators) don't recognize it for what it is.  I 
have been expressing this opinion for decades in many places and in my 
opinion I fall for provocation more often than I should.

Perhaps there is moderation by Eugene and J. Andrew going on the background 
and this is just leakage.

May I suggest the list technical people hang the moderator(s) email on the 
bottom of each post?  Depending on your setup it can be difficult to go 
back and find who the current ones are.

Best wishes,

Keith
