9 Disallowing someone from receiving mail from the list just to make it
10 possibly a little bit more difficult to read the discussions, which I
11 personally find not the case, does not really serve any purpose and is
12 rather silly. If one who was banned from receiving mail from the list
13 really wanted to view said mail, I highly doubt having to visit a
14 mailing list archive would stop him from doing so. All in all, while
15 public archives exist, disallowing people from receiving mail is quite
16 useless and a waste of time.
