All of this has been said before, but my feelings on the original post are
this:

1.  Somebody was doing something they thought might be useful to others on
the list.

2.  It was marked OT and had a very accurate subject line. Anybody who
didn't want to read it, wasn't
     under any obligation to do so and wasn't mislead into thinking it was
something it wasn't.

3.  Speaking as a normal list user (because that's all I am), I don't have
a problem with it.

exercise their revolutionary right to overthrow it.  - Abraham Lincoln

No citizen shall be denied the right to bear arms, if as a last resort, to
