Can I chime in as a rhino-tools-dev lurker?

Coming back with a complete final solution is good, but seeing how it
was worked out is better. Most people, when posting a final solution,
don't have time to write up a concise explanation showing how their
code evolved, their false starts, etc. This is totally understandable
and why I argue that it's good to talk about the solution while
working on it.

Regardless of whether you agree with that or not, I would like to
think that we can all agree that calling someone who does this a
spammer is completely out of line. Not only is it a patently false and
inflammatory accusation, but the message that conveys the accusation
is ironically much more spam-like than what's being complained about
in the first place, since it's completely off-topic and worth less
than nothing in the list archives (similar to my own message, I might
add).

For people who don't want to see a lot of list messages go by, there
are email clients with a threaded display (like GMail), and there are
digest and summary options available on the list. You may read this
list any way you choose, or not at all.

This is certainly not intended as a personal attack on Simone, but
rather an attack on this particular behavior of complaining about
people who use the list in a way someone deems inappropriate for one
reason or another (which has, of course, occurred on every list since
time immemorial).
