O.K., then let's make a pact:  no sneaking diamonds inside dirt.  If the 
post is a slam, then keep it a slam all the way through; don't put any 
good stuff in it. I'll do the same.  

Also, no changing subjects part-way through the post. I delete everything
having to do with lights, drysuits, and scooters.  If I ever need to know
anything about these things, I know who to contact (incidently, if and
when I do write to you on these topics, please give me some slack if I ask
questions that you have answered a thousand times on the list, because I
will have missed it. I'll give you the same courtesy for questions about 
'breathers, if and when you are ever interested).

If we follow these two rules, we can read the first few sentence and know
with confidence whether or not we can delete it without missing any good
stuff. That way, signal to noise ratio won't be a problem anymore.

P.S. If it's going to be a high-humor slam, make that clear in the first 
couple of sentences.
