That is quite a stretch of logic. Marks posts while frequent do not resemble
spam in any regard.

Not really. I think the people complaining about him have to share
responsibility for disrupting the life of the list. Its pretty easy to
killfile one person, and never spare a breath to speak of having done so.

And thereby invoke a tyrranny of a majority. A quickie majority vote is not
exactly what I would call a concensus. A concensus to me, implies a good bit
of discussion and transfer of ideas and possibly a bit of meditation on a
subject before a tally.
