For the sin which we have committed

by responding too often,

And for the sin which we have committed

by not posting at all when we have something valuable to say;

For the sin which we have committed

by responding angrily in haste,

And for the sin which we have committed

by posting private email in a public forum;

For the sin which we have committed

by misinterpreting others' words,

And for the sin which we have committed

by not expressing ourselves clearly;

For the sin which we have committed

by being sarcastic to other list members,

And for the sin which we have committed

by not being tolerant of their positions;

For the sin which we have committed

by not explaining technical terms,

And for the sin which we have committed

by assuming others know as much as we do;

For the sin which we have committed

by posting announcements directly,

And for the sin which we have committed

by posting subscription commands to the list;

For the sin which we have committed

by forwarding messages without introduction

And for the sin which we have committed

by cross-posting our own messages to many other lists;

For the sin which we have committed

by not using an appropriate subject line,

And for the sin which we have committed

by having a long .signature file;

For the sin which we have committed

by quoting others' posts in their entirety,

And for the sin which we have committed

by not providing context to our replies;

For all of these, Forgiving One,

Forgive Us, Pardon Us, and Grant Us Atonement.
