"Stop crossposting messages to other mailing lists and other newsgroups here to Brin-L." I'm getting tired of having to read this crap here and read it on rec.arts.books.tolkien and other newsgroups. Personally, I'm tired of it. This is stupid. Stop it or BAN the guy. This is FAR beyond the realm of normal, civilized, "nice" behavior. This is NOT performance art. This is obnoxious behavior. This is the virtual equivalent of the guy who has to butt into every conversation in the office whether he is welcome or not. Or else the virtual equivalent of Tourett's Syndrome (sp?). Kill-filing is not the answer. I'm concerned about the number of people leaving and I'm more concerned about new people. I've been hesitant to recommend Brin-L to anyone new recently but right now? Forget it. Can you imagine a new person coming in and seeing all these random messages? They would immediately and quietly unsubscribe. - jmh
