Argh! You caught me on the one issue I keep trying to ignore. :-) (03)
This goes back to the discussion we had a while back about useless data in
the link database: (04)

I keep going back and forth on this issue. In the context that you point
out, I wonder whether it makes sense to exclude your mail because you
replied to a mail that contained the link. After all, your mail may very
well discuss the link itself as well as respond to someone else's
comments. (07)
I don't have a firm opinion on this issue. Just making my personal
conflict known to y'all. :-) (08)
