Sigh, so that was my penultimate reply. I was tempted to send it to the ML only 
but decided against that because I don't make it a habit to hide behind such 
services.

"Look, I'm sorry you had to go and find my message on the public archives of 
this mailing list".

Macports-dev isn't archived for the purpose of monitoring insulting remarks 
though, esp. not indirect remarks. You'll probably find a lot of them in those 
archives (as in about any ML archive), including ones that were made by project 
developers directed at MacPorts devs who were trying to maintain a port for 
their project. There's even a good chance you'll find that someone called 
Jeremy a liar very recently; do you think that person (and I don't mean Jeremy) 
owes an apology too?

The internet is not a place for and of bisounours [1] (nor a sanitised version 
of the Minitel Rose :P)
