Tensions are, patience is low, it's time for everyone to get out a 
deckchair, grab some icecream and sit outside in the lovely rain we've 
been having and chill.

In all seriousness, I think stopping & thinking long and hard before 
sending any email is a very good idea.

If your annoyed about something and you are writing an email, Stop. 
Don't do it.

If you disagree about something, sleep on it, go for a walk, do 
something different for a while, and once you've had a long think about 
whatever it is, draft an email with your opinions, check whether it 
could be taken on a personal layer; if it can remove that bit.
When you've written it, read it through and check that it reflects your 
opinion. If your sure you've written it with a clear head, send it.

One of the reasons this mailing list exists is to provide an tolerant 
environment where one can learn from the things and have fun.

So anyway, if you're feeling wound up, take a break, go and do something 
else for a bit and calm down. :)

Take care,

Tim
