I suggest we find a way to close a mail thread. Obviously we can't
stop people from sending mails, but, like when a mod sees the topic
has been juiced out, he closes the topic which practically means:
if mailman sees mails being sent to a topic closed by a mod, it does
not relay it to the list.
It is normally difficult to say when a topic has been juiced out (the
essentials have been said, with no new inputs). One might close the
topic prematuraly. So, a time-based automatic closing might be better.
Example: After 5 days, a topic is closed. A mod can extend the closing
though.
I think a human solution rather than a technical one would be better by
either polity asking the one who's going around in circles to do some
more useful with their time or by simply ignoring the message. You can
also set up filters in your own email program if you feel it's bothering
you too much.
cheers,
Jan
