Hi Raul,
I've seen this function on Google Groups before. Personally, I
propose we hand out a survey about drastic changes like this.
Another "short-term" solution could be to ask people to write
some hash tags when the person feels it is off topic message.
However, I think the greatest solution is if members think about
their posts before being sent to this list and other mailing
lists as well, which could cut down bandwidth (somewhat).
Cheers,
Joseph

Subject: thank you, thank you, I agree, yes, no
Hello all. It's about that time again to remind people that
thank you
messages sent to the list are considered off topic. This is
because if
you want to show your gratitude to the person who gave you the
answer to
life, the universe, and everything, it's best sent to that person
directly rather than to the entire list. If there are 1400
members on
list, and you are one of them, that leaves 1399 members. If you
are
sending a thank you message for 1 or 2 people, then over 1300
members
are getting blasted with this kind of message and it just adds to
the
already high traffic on list. Yes, I agree that saying thank you
is a
form of politeness, and considering some of the messages of late
on
whether to tip or not, it's painfully obvious that some list
members
still act like children, but still, please send your thank you, I
agree
messages, or similarly worded ones, directly to the sender when
warranted.
Thank you!

not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you?' " -
