I was unaware of that.  But after re-checking
<http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List_etiquette>, I see that I
did indeed overlook that item.  Rather embarrassing, in light of the fact
that I'd just made reference to this same document in another thread (in my
-- admittedly weak -- defense, I'll note that this particular clause is
buried all the way at the bottom of the page).

In any event, while I don't think *this* discussion tripped over into areas
(such as, "how do I break CSS encryption?") that pose any real danger to
the list or to its maintainers, I can understand Isaac's reticence to
condone even peripheral discussion of these issues.  Therefore, this will
be my last post in this thread.
