In what possible way can the FHL cross-posts be irritating?  How exactly
are they irritating?  They are conveniently placed at the end of the FML --
they are not intrusive.  They contain valuable information from real ferret
experts.  If you don't want to read them, you don't have to.  It is that
simple.
 
Why do you mind the FHL cross-posts on the FML?  Exactly what harm has
been done to you or anyone else by having excellent expert advice posted
on the FML?  The complaint is petty and insulting to the majority of the
FML readership.  It is exactly the kind of narrow-minded attitude that
drove good people like Dr. Williams and Bob Church from the FML in the
first place, thus necessitating the cross-posts.  The cross-posts are a
valuable service that have only benefited the FML readership.
 
Skip theFML, skip the FHL -- those are your rights.  But, you have no
right to ask that everyone else be deprived of valuable information simply
because you don't like it.  It is indeed rude to expect everyone else to
do without important, valuable information simply because you choose to be
irritated.
