Any question that asks if we can change the way the list works is moot
because, as was pointed out, its no longer being maintained. It just
exists.

If a private message is inadvertently posted to the list in the future,
the best course of action is just to ignore it, assuming the sender
flubbed, and the sender need not apologize because it just adds more
noise. If the same sender seems to make a habit of this, then we can
assume the worst and flame that person accordingly.

He was crushed by a PDP-11 rack as he tried to load it into his van.

(Real answer: I don't know).
