I think this is excellent advice that certain, (perhaps all?) listmembers 
(not just Jeroen) should take to heart.  I'm certainly trying to follow it 
myself -- one of my biggest personal flaws (IMO) is jumping into arguments 
too quickly.  I'm trying to do it less frequently -- usually by letting my 
'drafts' folder fill up with unsent mail. I'm Emily Posting my outgoings...

I guess now I just post "scouted" stuff that sets off arguments, and try to 
remain above the fray ;-)
