Personally, I use a mail client that has a wonderful innovative new feature called "threads". This allows me to detect on first or second emails a thread that is not interesting to me, and skip all further readins on it.
In this particular case, however, I skipped all technical stuff and went right for the flames. So refreshing to hear the IGLU people be so creative. P.S. Nadav - I have some GDB sessions on VHS, if you like.
