I really don't see the point of this. Yes, there are a few messages on |
| 8 |
our mailing lists that some of us don't want to see. But as long as |
| 9 |
we're not drowning in in a tsunami of spam that practically DOSes our |
| 10 |
infrastructure, I think we're better of letting the *readers* take care |
| 11 |
of filtering. |

All MUAs I've used so far provide filtering tools to enact policies |
| 14 |
such as "ignore all mails by <user>", or even "ignore all threads |
| 15 |
started by <user>" without too much effort. Why do you think this isn't |
| 16 |
sufficient? |

IMHO, if there's one problem with our MLs we should strive to solve, |
| 19 |
it's the unfortunate tendency of technial discussions devolving into |
| 20 |
huge bikeshedding contests that achieve nothing other than making |
| 21 |
everyone angry. |
