Apology Re: Threadtiquette

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I should emphasize that 'threadtiquette' is just a set of guidelines which 
may* help improve communication on the list. It's not moral judgement.

(*) Corollary: whenever following them promises to achive nothing or be 
detrimental, they can or should be ignored.

Also, I don't think isolated incidents, as opposed to wilful repeated 
behaviour, need any kind of apology.
