Thanks Andy for encouraging the mailing list to run smoothly and
civilly, and for lifting restrictions again. (I suppose restrictions
would be re-imposed if things start to flare up again, like a virus
outbreak)

I forgot an important set:

* Extolling the virtues of a particular technology/methodology is OK.
* Highlighting the flaws and limitations of a particular

* Demanding or coercing all programmers to avoid a particular
technology/methodology -- for all industries and use-cases -- is _not_
OK.
