I think you need to read that again, all of it.  Because your "not so"
comment is completely out of place in replying to me.

John incorrectly reckoned it couldn't actually be disabled and had
correctly worked out that it can't be removed.  I said that you can't
remove it, short of making a completely custom system, but you *can*
disable it.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
