I can be if you force me to be.  I'm one of a few that can moderate  
the list and set your account to be moderated.  Note that the few of  
us who do moderate the list do so rather infrequently so your post  
might sit in queue for a while.  And as for me personally, I've not  
had time to even read the list recently.  Your irreverent tone just  
raised my moderator hair on end.  Either be polite and conform or be  
moderated.

We hope that the trailing characters should be enough for people who  
use a service to follow the desires of the service creators.  If the  
users of the service do not want to follow those desires it is in the  
interest of the service creators to removed the abusers.  But we do  
not wish to cause disparity we wish to to communicate here and be  
prideful in your communication.  This list is public and your current  
or prospective employers can see your communique and your relationship  
to others.  It could influence decisions in your life in other ways  
than a little inconvenience to be conformant.

In the end, it is your decision whether to be conformant with the  
desires of this lists creators.  It is your decision on whether or not  
you want your current employer, prospective employer or prospective  
client to notice your public nonconformity.
