Don obviously is yet to receive Sigvald's message about quitting the ML. 
Still, I must agree with Don. Its a shame it had to come to this, but 
Sigvald was continuously insulting people and even nations.  I'm 
personally glad if I don't have to read such messages ever again in this 
list. I was at one point thinking about quitting myself, because of the 
useless arguing he was creating, then I used message filtering to simply 
delete all messages by him for a while... after a while I decided to 
give his his messages an another chance. No good.

Still, I wish Sigvald could have changed his ways, but alas ... it was 
impossible for him. Therefore, I respect his decision to leave - the 
only reasonable thing to do, since he can't restrain himself. And like 
Don said, he maintains an excellent web-site. Too bad he can't work in a 
public forum. After saying that: Goodbye Sigvald, I wish the best for 
you in the future. Hopefully this change will finally create a more 
welcoming and friendly atmosphere - the one I've heard about in the 
stories told by the ancient members.
