Agreed. The "who, me?" level of passive-aggressive snark on the list is way out of hand. I'm glad the list moderators are taking a hard line against it, and hopefully it will result in some useful communication happening on this list again. If you don't want to be moderated, then cut the sarcasm and the personal attacks, it's not hard.
