So true! I want technical writing information when I read this list, not off-topic
sniping and crabbing from malcontents (I can get that on other mailing lists I
read). Not only can those who don't like Eric's reasonable rules get off the list,
they are always free to go start up their own mailing lists with any rules (or no
rules) as they please (check out OneList, for instance).
