The complaint I got on the other list arose, I believe, because the 
person concerned found he had to go back and re-read previous messages 
to remind himself of the course of the discussion.

He felt that was discourteous of me and quoted some RFC, possibly RFC 
1855.  Whether it was revenge or not, he did not explain "RFC" (of which 
I had never heard) or provide any link.

For other fortunate souls who have never encountered RFC 1855, it's here:
