They are TEMPTATIONS. People on a worldwide internet list (or anywhere, for
that matter) need to be mature enough to control themselves and not start a
flame war every time someone exhibits an idea they don't agree with. Most
people have one sig that they use for all their email. Should they change
their sig specifically to placate a percetange of the people on one mailing
list?

Seems like a bit of an extreme step. If this measure were taken I would
unsubscribe. But I don�t think Dan Knight would go that far.
In the 16th century, they banned books and burned people at the stake for
expressing dissenting opinions....
