dear sourceforge: when you go poop, do you need a crowbar to pry your ass open?

Yeah, yeah, it would be nice if eFORCE's mail server were RFC-compliant, but at the same time, i'd love to print out section 2.10 of RFC 793, roll it up, and smack SourceForge's nose with it.

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.

Given the responses i've garnered so far, i fear that you are, once again, correct.
