Ignorance is self-extinguishing. Point it out and it goes away. (I
bet you never knew that -- but you do now -- see, it's true!) But
trailers are forever. And so are these arguments over adding footers.
I'm too lazy to look over the archive, but I'm sure the "Help reduce
traffic on the list -- add a trailer" itself overwhelms the requests
for unsubscription, both by bytes and by number (add another 2K bytes
and one message to account for this message.) Not to mention the size
of the trailers multiplied by every posting on this rather busy list.
Those alone are probably more bytes than Dan Bernstein has posted to
this list! And he wrote the silly thing!
