The only person that I can seeing being rude is G. He was asked to
either publish his public key, or stop signing his messages to the
list. A reasonable request if he wants to be part of the com unity.
He could even have posted an ASCII armored copy of his public key to
the list. But he demanded that we send him an email asking for his
key. This is being polite? Get real...

But I guess asking anyone to be a good list member is not acceptable
on this list any more. If you point out the list guidelines and ask
that people follow them, you are labeled a NET NAZI. Politeness is
sadly lacking from some members. It has the net affect of driving
people away, or turning some of the more knowable people into
lurkers. (jdow, for example.)

Washington DC’s low murder rate of 69 per 100,000
is due to strict gun control.

Indianapolis’ high murder rate of 9 per 100,000
is due to the lack of gun control.
