Howdy

This phenomenon is known as signal to noise ratio.  The high quality of a very
few signals often makes up for the tedium of sifting through the noise.  The
interesting part is that both your message and my response have only
contributed to the noise.  Now that you are as guilty as any of the other
contributors, you will be expected to stay subscribed for at least another
month, or until someone else complains about the noise (whichever comes first).

Cheers

ps  Yes, we really are that rude in person, but everybody keeps smiling.
