Notice of Commission of Sin

In your post:

> Will your post be excerpted here?

you have committed the following SIN against ALLMUSIC.

[ ] You have advertised a commercial product or service.
[ ] You have sent an UNSUB request to the list.
[ ] You have commented on a previous post without including an
    excerpt; therefore, nobody understands what you're talking about.
[ ] You have included an entire post instead of excerpting it.
    Expect to receive this notice often until you learn how to
    use your mail editor software.
[ ] You included the post you were referring to after your reply.
    Most of us read a few words, couldn't figure out what the hell
    you were talking about, and deleted it without reading the rest.
    Just because Microsoft's mail programs are lame, doesn't mean
    *you* have to be.
[ ] Your post was in ALL CAPS.  Most people find that hard to read,
    and therefore deleted your post without reading it.
[ ] You have asked a question of the form "Any fans of artist X out
    there?".  If someone replies, "Ooh, ooh, me, me" what will we
    all have learned?
[ ] Your post was what we call a "one-liner".  Is it really true that
    all your brain can produce on this subject is a single line?
[ ] You have said nothing but "Me, too".  Nobody cares.
[ ] You have answered "I don't know".  What on earth makes you think
    that the question was addressed specifically to you?
[ ] You've managed to articulate the Conventional Wisdom about your
    subject.  Badly.
[ ] You have sent personal mail to the list.  The content of that
    mail isn't even remotely interesting to anybody but your recipient.
[ ] Your post contains nothing about music.
[ ] Your post contains nothing about music.  Nor does it contain anything
    funny, titillating, or even interesting.
[ ] You would prefer that the charter of ALLMUSIC be something other than
    "Discussions on all forms of music."  Enjoy your wait.
[ ] You suggested/responded to a suggestion that people submit a list
    of artists/records/songs about some topic or that meet some
    criterion.  Lists aren't discussions.  Think about it.  Besides,
    we've seen this so often that we're mightily sick of it.
[ ] You asked/offered an opinion on whether music is a language.  We
    are sick of that one too.
[ ] You asked whether there is such a thing as objectivity in criticism,
    or whether relativism can transcend mere preference.  We know the
    answer, but we're not telling.
[ ] Pretty nearly everybody in the world but you caught on that the
    original poster was joking.
[ ] You were trying to be funny/witty/satirical.  You failed.
[ ] ALLMUSIC is different from TV.  You don't get to ask us "What do
    you think of X?" and then sit back and watch.  Either say something
    or shut up.
[ ] Your posting was the equivalent of a five-year-old bursting into
    an adult party and shouting "See my froggy!"  The only appropriate
    reaction is embarrassed silence.
[ ] Years from now you'll be awfully embarrassed that you said that.
    Lord knows, we are.
[ ] You've just flamed one of the most highly regarded list gods.
[ ] Who is this really?
[ ] Your mail editor isn't inserting newlines properly.  You need to
    press <Return> at the end of each line.
[ ] You think your 100-character-wide mail window makes your mail look
    cool.  We don't.
[ ] It does no good at all to respond to spams.  The sender isn't listening
    and you're annoying the rest of us.
[ ] Your REPLY function is causing what you're saying to be crossposted
    to ALLMUSIC.  Stop it.
[ ] I know you'd like us all to accept your particularly frightening
    vision of what America should be like, but it's irrelevant.  ALLMUSIC
    is international, and you've wasted your breath.
[ ] Popularity is not the same thing as quality.
[ ] Unpopularity is not the same thing as quality.
[ ] Just because it's new doesn't mean it's good.
[ ] Just because it's old doesn't mean it's good.
[ ] Your opinions about Jesus, though quite amusing, are irrelevant here.
[ ] You appear to be unable to express your thoughts clearly.  Indeed,
    you appear to be unable to think your thoughts clearly.
[ ] No, we really don't take your word for your assertions.  You have
    to prove things around here.
[ ] Your appreciation for your favorite musical genre to the exclusion
    of all others is touching, but what on earth possessed you to join
    a list whose charter is "Discussions on all forms of music"?
[ ] We realize that meeting people with different values from you is
    upsetting to someone from your background.  Perhaps you'd be
    more comfortable where there isn't quite so much thinking going on.
[ ] There is a certain level of musical ignorance below which one
    can't go without their head imploding.  Until now, we thought we'd
    already seen it.
[ ] Trust me, we already know that censorship/violence/profanity is a
    Bad Thing.  We were rather hoping, though, that you were capable of
    saying something more than that.
[ ] You mentioned Adorno.  Die, commie scum!
[ ] You mentioned Langer.  A shuggoth is on its way to your house to
    rearrange your Significant Form.
