Ah, confirmation that a simple copy/paste is too much trouble for a
troll. But then, trolling the list is your prime objective, isn't it? As
quoted above, first you claimed it was "noxious" denial of choice. Now
you admit you can't be bothered to exercise the choice which is
provided. There is no prize for being this week's Droll Troll, you
realise? ;-)

Ah, confirmation that you have not tried it, instead expending all your
energies on trolling the list. Please help yourself by accepting the
generous advice offered: copy/paste the script, or use an external
utility if you like. We do not care which.
