STOP SENDING THE DAMN THINGS TO BOTH THE FFML AND MY MAILBOX!!!!!!!!!!
::cough::
Excuse me.  I keep getting everything twice, and it's starting to get
quite annoying.  Especially since I more or less dropped out of this
discussion after talking PRIVATELY with the linguistics guy (sorry,
can't remember your name off hand).  I would have been perfectly content
with this being something between me and him, but NO, he had to post it
to the FFML and drag another handful of people into it.  So, one final
argument toward this topic, which will hopefully stop it....

Alright. Now we go back, and remember all the posts that have
said something like this. <Moment of silence> Okay, then.
Everyone has said something like this before. I've posted
a message much like this one before (yeah, a year ago).
Anyway, here's a couple of things to remember when you're
out posting.

1: If you get a private e-mail response, just respond to
the sender ONLY. 

Why instead of sending it to both him/her or the list?
Because he/she didn't post the message to the list, and
therefore did not want the list to have to read it. Hey,
it's a private e-mail, hence the name. 

2: If it's a response to something from the list, it 
would probably mean that the sender is on the list. (How
would they have gotten it?)

Note: #2 excludes Bert Van Vliet (aka: SkyKnight). He's
not on the list, but has his sources.

Thanks for putting up with me. (Oh, and don't send chain
letters or solicitation e-mails to the list and...

...READ THE FAQ. You should have done that when you
subscribed (many did, but some didn't). You unsubscribe
by sending to fanfic-request@fanfic.com, I believe.
Definitely not the list.
