I sent him a private message telling him how to get this list in digest 
mode. The only time it interrupts my day is when someone direct messages 
me or we have another one of those days where people respond with one 
word/line to a message containing a 4000+ line compiler output 
***without nuking the now needless output.*** There is a size limit on 
the server. Once the gathered messages hit that certain size it sends 
out another email.

With a list there is always going to be subjects some care passionately 
about and others couldn't give a rat's behind about. They will also not 
understand why people don't give a rat's behind about what they 
themselves care passionately about.

The willy-nilly deletion of convenience methods, however, was not FUD as 
far too many attempted to paint it. We have stumbled across inconvenient 
bodies in the woods. Vital family members were taken out and shot.
