Goodbye to the list

My one comment on this thread:
Back in the day the general rule for writing network-based programs was
that your program should be strict in policing it's own output and
standards-conformance, but relaxed in dealing with the potentially
less-conformant output of others.
This approach results in the most robust system given the real-world
constraint that it's extremely difficult (if not impossible) to ensure
that every single existing client is perfectly compliant.
I think the same standards work well for discussion-list participants.
Endeavor in your own posts to uphold accepted courtesy and etiquette,
and endeavor to be tolerant of the occassional lack of the same in others.
