In hospital. Only get a couple minutes, but I may be able to get a laptop or something later if they will allow it.
There's a trucking company from arkansas named C Bean that needs to be run out of business. Their trucker actually tried to tell the cop it was my fault when he merged into the left most lane, crushing my car between his trailer and the concrete barrier. I'm just lucky it was rush hour traffic and we were moving 25 rather than 60.
wife says i'm going to have a 'really sexy scar pattern' when i recover.

It is relevant to his hope that a tale of misfortune and injustice will cause us to be overcome with pity and forget what a liar he is.

That's a convient way of saying "we don't particularly care".

Or rather, "it's way too much like work to take on policing such a subjective criterion; you're grown-ups, a stupid message won't kill you."

If it's too much to work to moderate a mailing list, maybe you shouldn't be doing that. I'm not going to say that all the moderators are just lazy and not really doing their jobs, because that's terribly unfair, and I'm sure there's a lot of work to be done. But instead of giving a reasonable explanation and saying that we're just supposed to accept completely idiotic junk posted to this list isn't fair. Moderators are supposed to, you know, *moderate*.

The message in question was let through by one of the list admins by mistake. It looked relatively alright, but turned out to be off-topic. Human error. We'd already established this in private, and I figured it would be best to just let the thread die through lack of responses, but people jumping up and down and complaining about the terrible moderation job we are doing have made that impossible.
And what's with the ridiculous assertions that we're not moderating? Do you have access to the moderation queue or something? This user has had 10 emails approved and 9 rejected.

I don't think that moderation is about perfectly excising every last letter that shouldn't get throught. Some will, and that's life. I prefer that the moderators give the benefit of the doubt to letting things through. If that means that something gets through that I don't like, I have a delete key. There's nothing to complain about.

Please, do what NSLE says and ignore this user's posts. It's not my job to tell the list admins what to do, but come on - has this user *ever* contributed anything of value to any list?
