That's not the issue at hand -- this is about people who would like to attach explicit restrictions to their messages on the list. I don't have any problem with such restrictions, but I don't think they belong on the list. > Brad posts links to his web site, as does Dr Brin, whenever they post > stuff like that. > Can't we just say that any such disclaimers will be ignored? Seems a bit sticky to define "such disclaimers," and I'm not sure that a blanket "ignore" as a list policy holds much water. > To take it to the other extreme - can we have a filter on the mailer > daemon that holds all posts containing the word copyright for moderation? Yes, we could. Interesting notion. But it calls for clear criteria about what would be allowed by the moderators. > Maybe it would be best just to ignore messages which contain the > disclaimers, as Erik suggested, even though it requires a level of > co-operation not often seen.
