I'm puzzled by this. On any list, especially such a large, active, and diverse one as this, it's only to be expected that some of us find posts from one or possibly a few individuals either of little interest or frankly objectionable. If we value the rest of the contributions, surely the rational solution is not to stomp off publicly and deprive ourselves of the list, but merely to hit the delete key when a post from Mr./Ms. Objectionable shows up. What could be simpler? If even that's too much trouble, it can easily be arranged to be done automatically. And there's no need to announce your decision in public. I don't want to know whose hit lists I'm on, and I don't want to know about those for anyone else either. I think Miss Conduct would agree. The delete key: For when you want to read of fewer things between heaven and earth than are dreamed of in your philosophy.
