It just what it says, Joop, an "[OT Flame]". But now that you've
responded to it on the list, it's become something much, much more -
a token of your free spirit; a cry for justice; in short: your way of
proving my point, Joop. Enjoy your 5s of CyberStardom[1]...

     o full messages quoted, including signatures, for max. waste of
       bandwidth 
     o disobeyed my reply-to (I had set it to keep the discussion
       *off* the list)
     o Cc: to me, although I'm on the list
     o signature not separated to encourage others to quote it
     o line width exceeding 70, result: totally fscked up, unreadable
       quoting hierarchies

Needless to say that the toything you use for gracing the web with
your assorted wisdoms cut the references, making the use of threaded
mailreaders useless. Great job, Joop, I could not have put it more
gracefully.

reply-to set,
Robin
