Very wise.
That said, this is my first, and last, comment on this issue.. I've spentDrivel filters are definitely called for (kill files, flags, rerouting to special folders, etc., etc.)
the better part of a week generally ignoring the list, and it bothers me
that you're STILL going on in one form or another. Please respond off list
where I can quickly and quietly /dev/null you without having to pollute
the list with even MORE drivel, of which I've already added to by even
responding to this. I have, however, decided to make this to the entire
list so that others can see they're not alone in becoming increasingly
tired of this.
BTW, a section in the FAQ on how to write simple filters for effectively dealing with time stealing, stomach souring, endlessly miserable threads and thread originators would certainly be useful and popular.
