It wouldn't be such a problem if this list didn't allow posts with
attachments -- it's a mystery to me why it does. They're not
necessary, people can always post a URL if they want to distribute a
file, and all they do in this context is propagate viruses. No other
unmoderated list in the entire universe allows attachments.

I've heard this is an urban legend: if you had an ideal toilet under
perfectly undisturbed circumstances it might, but in real life random
factors swamp the Coriolis effect.

Nothing but bad news from me today!
