For cryin' out loud Trev, what Mike M asked for was that we respect the
conventions of the list. He's not demanding that we line you up against
the wall. He's not even demanding that you be censored. he's just asking
that you stick an "OFF:" before a post that isn't to do with Hawkwind or
Blue Oyster Cult. 

That's basically just politeness. It's the list equivalent of not
talking with your mouth full or speaking to us with your dick hanging
out. It's simple consideration for your fellow sentient beings.

Mike can still drivel on about his navel fluff.  Sebastian can still
witter about drugs.  I can still witter about guns.  All we have to do
is type four extra characters. There just isn't any class-action suit to
be found here.
