+1 Why don't we put it in the signature to remind folks maybe with a
link to explanations and/or examples in the wiki?

I don't mind people's thoughts/feelings on the main list.  As long as
people get a chance at rebuttal and no-one takes it so seriously so as
to drive across the country and set someone's home on fire (which
actually happened).  Even if people lose the argument, I still respect
them for getting on their voice on the list which we all know is at your
own peril.
