I fear that you misinterpreted his words: he was being facetious,
somewhat satirizing a previous comment along those lines that (as far as
I can tell) was not facetious.
Please take note of the next sentence in Greg's email from which you quoted:
"One programmer's appreciated warning is another programmer's annoying
noise. If you think some warning is noise, turn it off. Please don't
belittle those of us who are not perfect."
Greg, a valuable list contributor from whom I think we all learn a great
deal, is on your side.
