So, it's OK to post "I don't like you guys, I'm leaving" but not ok to
poke fun at that (poking fun at the irony in John's post was the
point, BTW)?  I'll keep that in mind if you keep in mind that I've
provided answers to more questions than I've asked (granted, they've
been [OT], but I don't know enough about PICs and EE in general to
offer much in those areas) and that I sometimes forget which list I've
been on for a month or so v/s which ones I've been participating in
for a decade or more.

Call me silly, but it seems like someone who doesn't like off-topic
discussions and can't figure out how to ignore a single particularly
irritating thread should not have subscribed to an off-topic list in
the first place.  "Especially someone who, based on a quick search
through the archives, contributed little but asked much over his 2
years of subscription."
