I didn't want to prejudice anyone toward thinking, "hmm, it looks like

FoRK seems to lack a lot of mailing list etiquette, most notably that

the huge spewing replies to the MS/AOL/TLA thing have had huge headerlists.
Old bits seem to be the only thing folks get routinely wruffed about here.
Keyword being "routinely".
