[1] Maybe so; was this it?
[2] You do quite a bit yourself, entirely unaided. I dispute "rude"
and "intruder."

My impression is that it was a request made by one person who is for
some reason paying for downloads by the minute, and that 3 or 4
others (of what, several hundred?) thought it was a good idea.
Personally, I'm always advising people on my own lists NOT to snip so
readers know what they're responding to, in detail. But once Max
weighed in (politely), of course, why, that was that and I changed my
foolish scofflaw ways at once. The vitriol, alas, continues unabated.
