This list had a really somber feel to it. Now that the grumpy hermit is gone
we may be able to actually learn something without all of the torture.

Well there is no doubt he offered "some value" to the list, but he usually
managed to negate that value by trying to annoy people. Take the comment
about addressing the list twice. To insinuate that someone actually thought
they needed to place the list address in the to and cc was obviously meant
to just insult his intelligence. If he truly did think someone asking
questions about linker options cannot operate an email client, then why
offer guidance on how to write an email, but harass everyone that sends a
relevant "C Programming" question to this list?

He has a huge ego, pure and simple.
