I'm curious.  Your one line reply on the new, moderated list included
about 130 lines of stuff that wasn't, in my opinion, really necessary,
such as the entire text of the new list's intro message.  What could have
been a 100 character message was a 4400 character message.  What is your
reasoning in providing the list with a 44 fold increase in bits the server
needs to shuffle around?

Are you planning to move to Utah, race with IVR and want to make sure I spend
time cleaning up subscriber lists after people's mailboxes go over quota rather
than getting my race car ready to run against you this season?

Are you hoping to fill up the system disks so the server dies, and no one gets
any mail?  Are you hoping to single handedly swamp the network connection
into the server so that you are the only person whose messages get through?

What, exactly, is your reasoning behind such excess verbosity?
