[Foundation-l] foundation-l Digest, Vol 74, Issue 28

[Dan Rosenthal]

Adam,

You've made your point. I and other list readers don't need my email box stuffed full with dozens of new posts from the same person saying substantively the same thing, with different subjects.

If anyone had confusion about where you stand on this issue, it was clarified long ago. Continued repetition is utterly unhelpful.
