I think it should remain so that people +who stumble across this post of mine in the archives be able to absorb, +via osmosis, everything else you said below. + +For me, I'm simply going to send directly to /dev/null, via filters, +anyone who does top-post, as I have neither the time nor the inclination +to endure such punishment. + +So if anyone thinks I'm ignoring them, I'm not.
