It must have been started by geekazoids--this is geek humor.  It's a
reference to the (classic) Mutt tag line (from the Mutt author):

    "All mail clients suck.  This one sucks less."
    -- me, circa 1995

They are a bit lest modest than the Mutt author.

At least they didn't use a recursive acronym like GNU or BASH.

FWIW, I like the mailing list as is, other than "time to move this
discussion to the web site" decisions, which, AFAICT, seem to be a feeble
attempt to drive traffic to the web (so we can sell ads?  wave page-view
stats to people to get funding?) and just serve to kill discussion.

But I'm a mailing list bigot ... I have no use for web forums.
