I'm very glad of this fact.

Interestingly enough, we're not going "emo" about it.  Your actions in 
this instance have been very much against the general way things (at 
least the things I've witnessed) are done here.  You change the settings 
for the mailing list without consulting anyone else before you do so.  
While the mailing list is, in fact, not the IRC network that we 
administrate, it seems to me that the settings on said list should be 
part of the list of things the admin group should have at least /some/ 
say in.  I'd say your actions in this instance are examples of us 
passing a different sort of test with flying colors- the dictatorship vs 
democracy test.

I do not see that as logical thought progression in any way shape or 
form.  My logic behind your actions are listed above.  My other reasons 
for disliking that particular setup is simply that, by majority, you 
(and /maybe/ Pippin) are the only ones who care about how e-mails are 
quoted at all.  The rest of us are just posting and replying to e-mails 
as we are accustomed to doing.  This is simple personal preference, and 
nothing more- and you're making this much of a deal out of it?  I 
apologize if I become a bit agitated at you for your complete and 
blatant disregard for others' opinions on the matter, but when you flat 
out -without even waiting for the slightest bit of approval from your 
fellow administrators- make a monumental decision such as personally 
filtering emails (whether or not it's executed), my first reaction is 
obviously going to be one of protest.  This isn't a battle about how to 
properly post email any longer, Simba, it's a battle of fair, democratic 
administration- which is what I assumed we were practicing when I was 
/voted/ in.

Your efforts in this matter are unwarranted, unwanted, and necessary.

I'm sorry if my response seems a bit sharp, but I'm just short of 
exasperated at your logic here.
