 The only thing about email that annoys me is spam.  While I'm a subscriber to 
 freebsd-questions, top posting, incomplete questions, inflammatory 
 commentary, etc. is just the price I pay for getting a steady stream of 
 "Aha's," and hardly seems worth the effort to develop an emotional viewpoint.
 
 Although "thought police" who say "do this" and "don't do that" wear me out 
 sometimes with their email.
