Please repeat after me:

It's one of those funny jokes, like GNU. Feel free to click your heels
together while repeating this affirmation, just whatever you do, DON'T
say it in front of a mirror. Seriously, there's a crater somewhere in
Mexico where a data warehouse used to sit the last time someone tried
that.

Why? It's not broken. Just pretend it stands for Averaged Weight List,
and then you'll be able to sleep at night.

Oh, and there's no need to reply to all. You're on a mailing list, so
anybody who sent you a message from it is already on the list,
and will get your replies.
