Talk about dripping with irony. Besides, it is a trivial exercise to speed read through the topic headers and delete the messages you don't want to see. I mean really trivial. I can scan through well over 100 messages messages per day from various lists in about thirty seconds. You spent enough time writing your post and reading the responses to it to cover about a month's equivalent. Your post merely sounds petulant. Grow up.
