   No apology on your part is necessary. But the fact is that I don't   
   read every single thread in most newsgroups. Whether the original   
   thread that brought on this decision had devolved to the eye-rolling   
   stage or whether I just didn't find it interesting enough to read, I   
   can't say. It could have been either.   
      
   What might be important, though, is that I'm probably not the only one   
   who skims rasc, and there may be others who don't know about the   
   decision, or who don't realize there's been a change to the FAQ and   
   don't bother to read it anymore.
