Because it's possible there will reach a point where the number of hoops
the person using DSL would have to jump through to successfully get mail
to you will exceed their patience, at which point they'll just say "screw
it" and stop communicating with you.
I'll point out that this mailing list is being run off what is arguably an
IP address provided to an end-user by an ISP. (At least possibly; I'm not
aware of whatever arrangements Dan has with his university. But here at
Stanford, I'd put faculty machines into that category.)
