Put that on the mailing list FAQ then; otherwise its fair game.

I'm not quite convinced that my being tired of something or not prevents 
you from telling me I'm wrong about something or requesting discussion 
about it -- especially when its material relevant to the subject of the 
list.  PS, assuming they are tired of it, why have I never seen a good 
(well-prepared / documented) commentary on the issue from any of them? 
 However,

Obviously, I replied -- but I'm sure you expected as much when you sent 
your message.  You're free of course to boot me from the list if you 
feel that my desiring clarification on a long-standing issue (in two 
whole messages; three with this one) is too much for you to handle.  In 
case you're wondering, I'm not much of a DJB supporter myself, but I do 
appreciate (and usually demand) accuracy, especially where it affects my 
servers and my work.  FUD, on either side, is not appreciated, in the 
least, nor is complete silence.
