This is a nearly perfect thread. It is offtopic, calls attention to
someone's behavior (mentioned by name) degraded into a flame war,
involves amusing charges and counter charges of breaches of

All it needs is SPAM, kitty references, and for someone to post some
private Email.
Extra points for binaries or web graphics.
