And yes, I've seen a couple of mailing lists where such warning signs
_do_ correctly indicate that such passive-aggressive, control-freak
behaviour is endemic among the listadmin staff.
By the way, speaking of typing gaffes, I just did some very minor and
insufferably pedantic copyediting fixes to the new text on the listinfo
pages:
o "subscribed": You accidentally omitted the "r".
o "Web": Being a proper noun in this context, it needs an initial capital.
o "Linux": Since it's not an acronym, "LINUX" really wasn't right.
I also bestowed a few initial capitals, closing periods, and commas
where needed. (Yeah, I know most people lack the pedant gene, and am
not complaining. I just want our pages to look the best they can.)
