This comes up from time to time, it seems.  The list is supposed
to be slow, to keep flame wars to a minimum.  If you have a few
hours to reconsider your remarks, you often think better of
them.  Secondly, the list is for dissemination of tech diving
information, not so we can chat it up in real time as though it
were an IRC chat room.  Nothing going out needs to be read so
badly that it won't wait a few hours.  Egroups and others of
their ilk post an ad onto every mail, and the SPAM rate
skyrockets.  I get enough credit card offers and crap like that
as it is on my email; I don't want more due to this list, which
has been wonderfully SPAM free in my experience.
