Did I miss something?

Yes. I complained about too much off-topic chat, and emails such as congratulations which should be personal, and Kelly said that:

"Just out of curiosity - why attempt to reinvent the wheel just because one individual objects to certain postings? h-costume appears to suit the needs of the majority of posters and lurkers; if it doesn't suit a given persons needs, perhaps they need to look elsewhere.
Kelly"

Although I thought other people also thought maybe there was a bit too much off-topic and personal chat, I assume "the one individual" means me. If not, who is it?

As I have no intention of leaving a list whose substantive messages are of value and interest me (and as some other people seem to like chat), I suggested the filters as something that has been of great value to me on another list, and which might make everyone on h-costume happier without clogging the list from anyone's viewpoint.

Anyone who wishes is welcome to filter out all my emails by my sender address, or any other means their email program or ISP supports. That's what I do, but it's harder to automatically filter out all personal chat on any subject from any member.
