Okay, I've had enough.  This discussion has been entirely too good natured and
flame free.  If Claude doesn't have what it takes then allow me.  I volunteer
to become the Top-Posting Nazi (TPZ).

As such, I promise to hunt down any top-poster on this list, via any means
necessary, and...  and berate them severely.

Furthermore, if anybody talks poorly of Reply-To munging, they shall become
the target for a possible virtual burning of their Internet effigy.  The
burning will be followed by a flamefest.

Perhaps, one day, the Internet will become as it was in times of yore: a much
angrier place.

That is all.
