No, Matej has it right. I was perhaps unsubtly suggesting that one of the many parallels between the situation circa 2003 and the situation circa 2012 appeared to be that, at both times, there was a person on the list who had a tendency to post needlessly controversial stuff, without much punctuation, who happened to be European...
