Perhaps it's best to fix the problem instead of suggesting the users are 
wrong.  A lot of the complaints with the forum to list gateway would go away 
if the forums required quoting, and the gateway itself provided an accurate 
References header.

It's not impossible to get this right:  Non-usenet Google Groups are great 
exmaples of forums working with mailing lists harmoniously.  Why the 
prevailing opinion here is to ban or run off anybody who suggests that fixing 
a pervasive bug is the right thing to do only serves to harm the project.
