Just to play devil's advocate, if you look back at the list, KC has
written a lot of helpful and informative messages in the past.

I don't think anyone's disputing that, it's just that the form of many
of his/her messages + lack of threading means that they'll get ignored
(because they don't make sense without context... which is unavailable)
or that KC will get killfiled (after seeing enough "meaningless"
messages from a person this tends to happen). Which would be a shame.
