Maybe. I /still/ think a little AI-like attention to the list could
reduce messages like the 'please unsubscribe' ones by sending an
automated help message. There seems so little point in posting the
same reply to the same query over and over.
Hmmm, I will setup an autoresonder, because I even get private
unsubscribe messages from some "idiots" thinking I can unsubscribe them.
I did at one point start classifying the emails on the list under broad
headings - things like 'unsubscribe me', 'installation', 'is it free'
etc. I had a mad idea of using that to train a bayes classifier or some
such, then using it to allow some sort of best guess helpful
auto-response to future list emails that matched "well enough". I'm
afraid the manual classifying bit turned out to be unexpectedly
time-consuming, so I gave up. But I did twig that such a thing doesn't
actually have to be an 'official' OOo project - anyone on the list with
the right software could do it.
