entombed in the shrine of zeroes and ones

Whenever something like this happens to me, I take it as a reminder that there are too many people on the Internet for me to talk to anyway, so when some of them self-select for being edited out of the set of people I care to communicate with, I should take advantage of that opportunity and be on one fewer mailing list.

If you have half a clue, and I know that you do, most of these mailing lists need you more than you need them. It's worth remembering that.
