Quoting Rick [http://www.weak.org/pipermail/buug/2009-October/003533.html]:

I think many old-timers simply got tired of being yelled back at
for trying to assert netiquette standards in public, no matter how
politely.  Speaking for myself, I long ago gave up on even trying, and
instead take technical measures at _my_ end to try to retroactively
fix defective postings I receive.

Nope, I can't bother searching through the archives. I did want your
opinion, since there seems to be mostly silence in this matter, at
least when I brought it up. And a lot of noise about a broken thread.

I've had my say. This is my last message on this subject, no matter
how much others may continue to gripe and rant, and make false
accusations.
