List Behavior (The GNU Awk User’s Guide)

You can’t talk yourself out of something you acted yourself into.

— Stephen R. Covey

Please note: We ask that you follow the GNU Kind Communication Guidelines in your correspondence on the list (as well as off of it).

Additionally, just to be clear, on the list:

Personal attacks (so called ad hominem attacks) are always inappropriate. If you make such attacks, you will be banned from the list.
Discussion of proprietary software is strongly discouraged on GNU mailing lists. If you continue to discuss such software after being asked not to, you will also be banned.
