I think by tonight I'm going to add a nice, big disclaimer at the top of the Mailing Lists page (http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists) saying that we can't delete or manipulate people's messages. I know it won't stop trolls from being abusive, but we can just point them to the disclaimer and say, `Well, we told you this before you signed up.'
If someone else wants to, and can get to it before I do, please go ahead and make the change.
