Please don't equate non-reaction with tacit approval - if we all had to
react to every message that we disapprove of on the list, we'd never
have any time to do anything else. We all have different limits on how
much crap we can tolerate without throwing it at the fan.

Now that I've voiced this particular disapproval, I hope it won't be
construed as a tacit approval of all the other crap that's floating
around on the list.
