Because I don't have time to read all messages on the list, and I am not
particularly interested in the details of the production of that
documentary, after reading the original message, I have deleted all such
messages. I am, by contrast, interested in disability theory: if messages
had something other than 'polio documentary' as the 'subject', I might
have read them!
