    Sorry, I meant to include a copy of the list rules in my recent message.
    Here they are (again), for reference:

    > L I S T R U L E S
    >
    > We have a few rules about how you interact with the list. Your continued
    > subscription indicates your acceptance of these rules. We do not like
    > rules for their own sake. The List rules are just those we believe will
    > keep the level of discussion high and polite.
    >
    > PERSONAL ATTACKS: We do not allow personal attacks or libelous statements.
    > Those violating this rule may be removed from the List without notice.
    > Those guilty of an ad hominem attack (i.e.: attacking the character of a
    > poster rather than combating the argument the poster proffers) will be
    > subject to a private warning on a first offense and a temporary or permanent
    > ban on each subsequent offense. Extropy Institute's Executive Team will
    > determine the duration of said ban.
    >
    > If someone attacks your character, insults you, or otherwise violates the
    > above rule, do NOT retaliate in like manner. Instead, send us a complaint
    > (to e_shaun@extropy.org) and take the matter off-list.
