Darryl is right, folks. Please either be nice or keep quiet. I swear
I've seen more unjustified crabby answers in our mailing lists during
the past month than at any other time during my involvement with the
project. A few of you -- and you know who you are -- seem to make
a point of writing something utterly rude every day. If you are so
stressed out that you can't help it, then please just take a break
from the lists entirely for a couple of weeks. You're not doing a
thing to help our reputation.
Remember, the _individual_ you are replying to is not personally
responsible for the sum total of annoyances you have endured lately.
