Please explain how your posting is better. Is it gentler, and does it 
avoid 
throwing terms like 'bureaucrat' around?

Perhaps your analysis is flawed:
(quoted from the original posting):
1. "I'm giving ten copies away free ...
2. "... to the next ten people that email the list and write, "send me Zen 
Engine!"  Please do not email my personal address, just the Looper's 
Delight 
list."

No-one had any concerns with the first (the 'good deed'). The objections 
were aimed at the second, and rightfully so. Do you have any suggestions 
for 
a non-offensive, politically correct synonym for "list abuse"?

In this light, would you care to reformulate your previous posting, this 
time avoiding careless public insults?

Oh.. I can't speak for Rick, but I think I might prefer your reply on-list.

Best regards,
Nic
