Hey Al,

   You’ve got to have a pretty thick skin to be on a mailing list -
   sometimes people post several messages in a row that may be over your
   head,  in regards to people or events you have  no knowledge of, or
   just plain boring. In these cases it is best to just buddha-up - find
   your delete key and go with the flow. If you really can’t see why the
   members of this particular list might be interested
   this particular “celebrity’s” correspondence in this matter — if you
   truly have “no idea what it is about” — then perhaps you should save
   your comments until you do have some inkling of what’s going around
   you. Then you won’t appear petulant or uninformed when you wish to
   participate rationally at a later time.
   Good luck!

     It's a forwarded message. It's copied to the list because it's
     relevant
     to the list, just like the discussion of the book's launch was
     relevant
     to the list, way back when all of the people complaining about posts
     from Jim Fucking Bell on the CYPHERPUNKS list weren't on said list.
