Speaking for a moment as the list owner. Posts by this OP are usually 
blatant provocation and I usually filter them out before they hit the 
list. (They'll still appear if you're reading via Usenet). In this case 
I approved a post thinking it was something else.

However... for the most part, the result here has been either humorous 
banter or an informed and civil discussion of the pros and cons of 
various unicode-related issues. Nothing wrong with that.
