If only there was some way to use meaning units to explain legal,
business, or ethical limitations ahead of time which would preclude back
and forth mailing list communications.

Non-sarcastic translation: Don't expect us to know about your s**t.  We
have standard expectations for this free software project and the
expectations are do not include keeping a mental map of the rules of
every email domain that sends messages here so that we can avoid asking
for a patch.

I'm with Corinna in wondering how you can use GPLed software at all if
you are so limited.
