Yes. Questions@ has some un- self- disciplined kids/ drunks/ trolls,
who degrade this list's signal to noise ratio.
They could be reduced by a combo. of eg:
- forcible unsub, & black list,
- block of anon. remailer domains
- making this list "subscribtion required before posting".
(which would make it harder for newbies fresh to
FreeBSD, but we need some solution)
I suggest others too should complain to <postmas...@freebsd.org>
appending offenders bad postings, & let postmaster decide action.
The only other option I can think of is to personaly extend my
procmail filter on my own questions@ incoming stream, to delete all
postings from listed individuals.
Many others could do similar, but massive inefficiency, &
newbies couldn't, & the noise on the raw unfiltered list &
in web achives would damage FreeBSD.
