Er, what are you talking about ? what is all this G3, IPv8 etc ? never heard about it ...
IPv8 is a figment of Jim's imagination. People see his emails and begin to think that perhaps there is some technology they missed in their reading, so they ask around, and Jim is more than happy to reply. Think about someone who places a URL of 5 and 12 year old technical books in his sig that he once wrote. Most people on the Internet have him in their email filters so as not to see his stuff since it proves to be a large waste of time.

Well, wouldn't it be more efficient to filter such things at the listserv instead then ? I'm sure it would safe many people lots of time ...
Or isn't it possible to exclude certain emails from some mailing lists for excessive off-topic postings, if this is the case ? That would be a normal practice and would be favoured by people subscribing to focused discussion lists, such as RIPE WG lists.
shouldn't be a hard thing to do ...
APNIC did that about 3 months ago. I would not be against it for RIPE lists. -Hank
