Well, some of the pissing matches have been a little
funny.

This is primarily why I'm no longer active on any
mailing lists- short of using smilies, LOL, or "I'm
just kidding" all the time, it takes a lot of work to
inject humor into writing.  We all know how much
voice, inflection, gesture adds.  And to explain
things to others sometimes requires so much context
setting that you almost have to present a lit review
and methodolgy before actually posting... ah, it's too
much work.
