Stop whining.

This list has been around of a LOOOONG time.  The rules haven't changed
in the 10 years since I've been subscribed, and the list works 99% of the
time.

The few days a month where the discussion goes off-topic and turns into a
flame war _are_ annoying, but not significantly distracting in the grand
scheme of things.
