I swear, one of these days I'm going to implement a karma system for lists.
Admins could set minimum karma ratings before you go into moderated status,
or simply banned. You could put an X-header into messages with the karma
rating, so users could filter based on the karma rating. All sorts of fun
ways to get people to play karma politics on your mail list...

Funny, FWIW, is -3. It is one of the biggest problems with /. Karma. But I
digress.

If you have procmail. But this is a great example of why user-defined
preferences are a great idea. There are people on this list that if we put
you and them in a room together, only one of you would come out alive,
becaues they feel just as strongly that the opposite should be true.

Sorry, not true at all. Regular people feel that way, too. And there's  no
procmail for most of them.

That's why these things constantly come up as fights on lists all over the
place, including here. There IS no acknowledged "right" answer, but both
sides feel there is, and it's theirs

Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh
nervously and change the subject.
