Max M <maxm@maxmcorp.dk> apparently thought that a post somebody sent to the
list was long, boring, pointless, uninformative, and off topic:

>WHY ARE YOU SENDING THIS CRAP TO A TRANSHUMAN MAILINGLIST... WE ARE
>NOT INTERRESTED

His complaint has some validity, but he didn't sent his objection to the only
person who could prevent a reoccurrence, the person who posted it, he sen it
to the entire list. But much worse, he then quotes every word, EVERY SINGLE
WORD, of the long, boring, pointless, uninformative, and off topic post.
I hope I will be forgiven for not quoting the quotation in this post.

Max M is certainly not the only one who does this, it seems to be an axiom on
this list that if you see a particularly long and foolish post then very soon
you will see it again. I guess you should prepare to see this post again.
