not me...trilug...

1. Dev is good - it causes discussion.  

2. These are bad, they hurt the causes they seek to promote.  

Case in point, we've nearly built an email server out of old parts.  Needed
> 30 people to see the post to do that.  Some of those who donated don't
subscribe to that list.  Posting there would have been futile.  Now we're
requested to move it there (which would probably kill the effort).

3. Someone stuck kindling under my feet so my shoes caught on fire and I
started stomping to put the fire out.  :-)
