Please note that, in what follows, I express no view whatsoever on what sort of mailing list this (or any other) group should have.
Quoting Ian C.

On a list where ask-then-summarise-offlist-answers is tradition, that tradition is maintained -- on an ongoing basis -- through the usual variety of social means, and that sort of unofficial enforcement _works_. Your and the earlier poster's assertion that it cannot work is demonstrably incorrect. (Demonstrably through reference to counter-examples.) You happen to not _like_ that sort of list, but that's a wholly different topic. > It's the individual's responsibility to implement his/her own 'policy' > by using filters, etc. That is _a_ policy. There are others. -- Cheers, Rick Moen "vi is my shepherd; I shall not font." [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Psalm 0.1 beta _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
