I see no reason to take a piss. Other than IRL, of course, where taking
a piss is a rather good idea once in a while.

But if it must happen, yes, please preface it with something like that.

The other alternatives are either moderating a select few (effective in
getting the message accross, but easily circumvented), or the
mailing-list equivalent of everybody getting killfiles.
