A mailing list is a lot like a lake. If nobody pollutes the lake,
everyone can drink, fish, swim, etc in the lake just fine. If one or two
people urinate in it once in a while, it won't affect the water quality
that much. But if everybody and their dog goes tee-tee in the lake,
dumps their old coffee/soda/tea, and worse every day, the water quality
starts to really take a nosedive and pretty soon there's a bunch of
smelly dead fish floating to the surface.

Please, don't turn Lake Cypherpunks into Lake Tee-Tee And Old Coffee.
