People on the Phobos roster all have contributed to it, not to mention 
the many contributed patches via bugzilla and ideas aired in this group. 
Also, I have a track record of bringing ideas for future Phobos 
additions for discussion up here before acting on them. In the words of 
collection companies: "What else can we do?"

I think I'll do something terrible: I'll killfile re at tard.com.invalid. 
This is a rare occurrence - my current filter has only four entries that 
probably are not valid anymore. I have always saluted your visible 
efforts at being civil, and I have appreciation for them; obviously you 
are quite unhappy about the state of the language, and given that it's 
difficult to not let emotions take the driver's seat. At the same time, 
however, all too often there's this schadenfreude in your posts that 
reduces the credibility and the value of the actual content 
considerably. Between hunting for bits of content and trying to 
distinguish whether they are genuine or the reverse engineering of a 
presupposition - the toll on my time is too high. Feel free to email me 
or to change your ID if you want to share something. Thanks.
